Rolling Sculpture, A Designer And His Work-gordon Buehrig, Cord on 2040-parts.com
Gold Hill, Oregon, US
This is a great reference book for Gordon Buehrig’s amazing auto design career. It covers his whole career, not only his days at Auburn, Cord Duesenberg, but with many stops along the way and finishing with 16 years at Ford. I bought this book in 1997 and it is still in ‘as new’ condition spending it’s entire life in my bookcase.
Great addition to any auto enthusiasts collection.

Mazda MX-5 Superlight leaks
Sat, 12 Sep 2009Official pictures of the MX-5 Superlight Concept have leaked out ahead of Frankfurt We don’t think Mazda are intending building the MX-5 Superlight, it’s more a way of showcasing what can be achieved by radical weight saving. But don’t quote us on that. If Mazda gets big positive feedback they’ll probably turn it in to a production model despite their assertions it’s just a concept.
Volvo picks up Red Dot Design Award for new connectivity system
Mon, 14 Oct 2013Volvo's Sensus Connected Touch connectivity system with the world's first voice-activated integrated Spotify connection has been awarded a 2013 Red Dot Design Award. The Sensus Connected Touch accessory turns the integrated 7-inch display into an infrared, beam-scanned touch screen that can be used even when wearing gloves. The system can be controlled using the touchscreen, the steering wheel or the center stack, while you can also voice-activate all music sources. Alain Visser, senior vice president of marketing, sales and customer service at Volvo, says, "The Red Dot Design Award confirms that this approach to an intuitive, human-centric user experience fulfils modern car owners' desire to remain constantly connected also when driving." The WiFi connection can be made using either a car-mounted 3G/4G-dongle or the driver's mobile phone, and the data is transferred by the WiFi between the phone and the Sensus Connected Touch.
Kia Pop concept (2010) first official pictures
Wed, 18 Aug 2010These are the first pictures of Kia's new 2010 electric concept car, the Pop, which is due to make its debut at the Paris motor show on 30 September. Details on the new Kia Pop are sketchy, but at 3m long and with a triple-seat arrangement, it could be that Kia has its sights set on creating a rival to the Toyota iQ. In fact, we can see from the bird's-eye shot that the seating plan mimics that of Toyota's baby with two positions in a front bench and a single rear seat behind the front passenger.
