Patrick Kelley is an author with a fascination for all things automotive. About 15 years ago he expanded this passion and started collecting original automobile concept art. These are drawings and paintings of what future automobiles might look like. He decided that these designs, that came out of art schools across America, and the ‘Big Three’ automotive manufacturing companies, had to be shared. Today he shares his new book, Imagine! Automobile Concept Art From the 1930s to the 1980s,published by Dalton Watson Fine Books. It takes the reader back to a time when the sky was the limit, dreams and visions were encouraged and restrictions were few. With 235 wonderfully unique images and 324 pages, it is a must-have for your library.

I have Patrick’s book. It’s a really important book that needed to be done to preserve and showcase the design process in a way that hasn’t adequately been documented before.
