| This informative September, 1956 Mechanix Illustrated magazine article, directly below, accurately tells about the anatomy of a concept car. Not surprisingly, all auto design manufacturing companies today still follow the exact same time honored blueprint and/or business strategy of creating concept cars that Harley Earl invented well over fifty years ago. Make sure you also read two more great articles further down at this section. One is by the editor, Hugh Humphrey, of Car Life magazine titled, Design-Unlimited; and the other is a New York magazine named CUE. All these articles help unravel more archival evidence on the truth behind the founder of America's Automotive Design Legacy.
As usual, we at the Official Harley Earl Website love to present the facts. For example, notice how this quote that's on the last page of this 1954 Car Life magazine article, below, properly locates and credits an artist to his historic works of art, "Most of his own work is conducted in a tiny, black-out office which bears a fictitious name on its door. Here he (Earl) concocts the GM experimental cars which later evolve into the dreamboats like Cadillac’s LaEspada, Oldsmobile’s F-88, Buick’s Wildcat, Pontiac’s Bonneville Special, ad Strato-Streak, and the popular Chevrolet Corvette." This sentence is pointed out with a red arrow.
Another insightful article from the January 15, 1949 issue of CUE magazine; notice how there is another artistic story, listed in the Contents directly below, right underneath "Meet the G. M. Designer" article by Bogart Rogers on Harley Earl simply featured as JAZZ
