Abstract
The fundamental factors underlying automobile styling are discussed. Three basic elements are: what a vehicle is for--the task, its performance, and its cost. The body designer must provide for comfort and safety of passengers, and must accommodate chassis components, fuel, and luggage. These must be arranged to take on form expressing nature of vehicle. Examples of this process are discussed.
