Video of the 2018 Detroit Autorama Hot Rod Show
...as seen through the eyes of an industrial designer
The 2018 Autorama is a car show held in Detroit and dedicated to hot rods. The next best thing to attending wouldn't be to see a video of it; it would be to see a video of it shot by an industrial designer, because they're going to focus on and geek out about the same things we'd look at. Here Eric Strebel takes a look at the paint finishes, the material one clever displayer used as underlayment, the vehicles' colors/stances/gestures, explains how a turbocharged + supercharged engine works, et cetera.

Rain, if you go again, please notice the hot rod artists that line th ewalls on the lower level. This part of the show is called "Artists Alley" and several of the artists are designers from the OEM's and product designers (me). Jeep, GM, Ford, some of the artists have ID degrees although they went straight to art. Just something to add on. I grew up going to these shows, some crazy stuff and wild solutions to problems you didn' know existed.
