Summary

Description
English: "Car of the Future" as conceived by Studebaker's Director of Styling, Raymond Loewy, in the August 1950 issue of Science and Mechanics. Loewy wrote about the new styling for "tomorrow's rocket age population" but dismissed the idea of clear plastic tops and turbine engines. The three point front end was a design feature on the 1951 Studebaker. Some of the other elements of this concept model influenced the 1953 Studebaker Starliner.

The cover art was done by Arthur C. Bade, a staff illustrator for Science and Mechanics from 1944 to 1955.

This magazine cover was lightly soiled and had a few minor folds, scratches and cuts. It was scanned with an Epson Perfection V500 scanner and saved as a 400 dpi tiff file. The restoration was done in Adobe Photoshop Elements. The magazine size is 6.5 by 9.25 inches (165 by 235 mm) and has 224 pages.


Español: "Automóvil del futuro" concebido por el diseñador industrial Raymond Loewy, y que en agosto de 1950 ilustró la tapa de la revista Science and Mechanics. Loewy escribió acerca del nuevo estilo concebido para "la población de la edad del cohete del mañana", pero rechazó la idea de las tapas plásticas claras y de los motores de la turbina. El extremo delantero de tres puntos que se observa en la figura, fue una característica del diseño del Studebaker 1951. Algunos de los otros elementos de este modelo, también influenciaron el Studebaker Starliner de 1953.

La cubierta corresponde a un diseño de Arthur C. Bade (1899–1975), un ilustrador de la revista "Science and Mechanics" que allí trabajó desde 1944 a 1955.

La portada de la revista de la imagen, estaba ligeramente sucia y tenía algunos pliegues menores, arañazos y cortes. Fue escaneada con un aparato Epson Perfection V500, y guardada como un archivo tiff de 400 ppp. La restauración se realizó utilizando Adobe Photoshop. El tamaño de esta revista es de 6.5 por 9.25 pulgadas (165 por 235 mm), y tiene 224 páginas.
