Design aficionados, mark your calendars. Art Center College of Design inPasadena, Calif., the alma mater of many of the world's top automotive designers, has announced details for its 7th Annual Car Classic, to be held on Sunday, July 15. This year's event will feature Luigi Colani, a designer with an especially wide-ranging portfolio including cameras, furniture, airplanes, and of course cars.

Morning and afternoon sessions will feature influential automotive designers speaking about their work and the vehicles they designed. Various noteworthy alumni will be in attendance, and emcees this year are Southern California TV personality Dave Kunz and car-care empire-builder Barry Meguiar.

 

In addition to the personalities, vintage race films will be shown through the day, the school's design studios will be open for tours; and more than 100 vehicles will be on display at the campus Sculpture Garden, including classic cars, sports cars, exotics, hot rods, customs, and concepts, and the 1938 Darracq/Talbot Lago T-150-C Cabriolet pictured above, owned by J.W.
