(Bob Gurr, 1955) This rare (96) page auto styling book was published by Bob Gurr, famed WED Imagineering designer/engineer for much of Disneyland attractions, including the Autopia, Monorail, Main Street Vehicles, Matterhorn Bobsleds, Flying Saucers, and Peoplemover. This softcover book came out the year of Disneyland’s opening, not long after he designed the early Autopia vehicles. A graduate of Art Center in Pasadena, California, Gurr was designer at the Ford Motor Company before being hired by Disney to design the Autopia cars on last minute notice. What started as a temporary design job became a life-long association with the park. Signed by Gurr on the front title page. Measuring 8.5 x 11 in. in very good condition with some light foxing to the cover.
