Description

Why is it that classic cars turn heads? In this episode, Jon talks with David Temple, the author of "The Cars of Harley Earl", to answer that question. They dive into how Earl transformed GM from a car company into a cultural force, how aviation inspired automotive styling, and why the fins and unique style of the 1950's still resonate today.
