Update July 2022
Steve Purdy, AHF Managing Director
Summer car show season is in full swing and enthusiasts appear to be making up for lost time, finally getting out to their favorite car events.
We’ve been attending our share around southeast Michigan, including the always-surprising Father’s Day show at the Ford Estate on the shores of Lake St. Clare – EyesOn Design. We can count on that show to innovate. They did so this year by presenting only race cars. Seems like that would be too limiting, don’t you think? Well, you may not realize, without stopping to think, how broad that category can be: from NASCAR to rally racing, open-wheel to prototypes, dirt trackers to hand-built “Race of Gentlemen” contenders. The car selection committee had a hard job this time, but they did a masterful job.
EyesOn Design honored Peter Brock, best known for creating the innovative skin for the famous Shelby Daytona Coupe. We may think of race car design as focused purely on function when in reality it can be as aesthetically significant as any other genre. In fact, when form and function are in balance, beauty is enhanced, we contend.
