The definitive Populuxe film on 1950s automotive, industrial, interior and architectural design. Film shows contempory and futuristic designs, many of which now seem dated while others were well ahead of their time. You'll also see the many steps of the design process. Released by the Chevrolet Division of the General Motors Corporation in 1958. . .
