The University of Notre Dame's Department of Art, Art History, and Design, along with the Snite Museum of Art and the Chrysler Corporation, will present a distinctive opportunity to explore the design and impact of Virgil Exner. Exner was an art student at Notre Dame in the 1920s and he went on to become one of the world's great automobile designers, responsible for the Chrysler Corporation's "Forward Look" of the 1950s and '60s. This one day event will feature a public showing of thirteen of Exner's milestone show and production cars, which are valued at over $9 million. Automotive historian Peter Grist, author of Exner's official biography titled "Virgil Exner: Visioneer", will give a lecture highlighting Exner's impact on the "Fabulous Fins" era of automobile design. A book signing and art display will take place at Notre Dame's Stepan Center beginning at 9:00 am, where eleven cars will be officially displayed. Additionally, two cars will be displayed outside of the Snite Museum of Art all day. Grist's lecture will take place at the Museum at 7:00 p.m.
