This rare auto styling book was published by Bob Gurr, famed WED Imagineering designer/engineer for many of Disneyland's attractions, such as the Autopia, Monorail, Main Street vehicles, Matterhorn Bobsleds, the Flying Saucers, the Peoplemover, among many, many others.
This softcover book came out the year of Disneyland's opening, not far from when he designed the early Autopia vehicles.
A graduate of the Art Center in Pasadena, California, Gurr when on to design at the Ford Motor Company before being hired by Disney to design the Autopia cars on last minute notice. What started as a temp design job to help Disney in a fix, became a life-long association with the park. 96 pages. Mild wear to the edges and spine. Spine is showing early signs of separation, but is still intact.
