Style In Steel

Episode 1

North American muscle car expert Jim Bodanis has a rather tidy collection of his own, but he always admired the dentist’s car when he was growing up. Being able to locate one as an adult was a personal sign of success for Jim He takes us on a tour of this wolf in sheep’s clothing: the 1970 Chevelle SS LS 6 4 speed, one of the seven 4-speeds out of a production line of 4000. One of the most sensational classics of the 1930s is the 1931 Avions Voisin C-20, known as the Mylord Demi-Berlin. This one-of-a-kind automobile owes its unique design to the engineering genius of a French aircraft designer, Gabriel Voisin. The interior feels like the cockpit of a plane, and the exterior looks as if it could be owned by Cruella de Ville… this became the iconic design of the time period.
