This alluring work of art -- the Firebird III -- by Harley Earl gracing the cover of this new book, THE ART AND COLOUR OF GENERAL MOTORS is certainly nice to look at. Thank the photographer, Michael Furman, for the great photo, but to be honest, what's written inside this hardcover is just a mediocre puff piece put on the market for GM's 100th Birthday by Bob Lutz, Jonathan A. Stein and Nicola Bulgari. First off, the book is laced with factual inaccuracies and is a shocking hack job on what could have been the story all about the celebrated artistic/engineering figure who created the art and color of the modern auto world. I've talked to each one the above mentioned men and they all clearly don't understand what Harley Earl truly did, or they simply feel it is unnecessary to academically acknowledge the historic roots and traditions of this man's American automotive design legacy and/or how fifty years ago (also, Harley Earl debuted his ultra-futuristic Firebird III in 1958 that also boasted having the first on-board computer) General Motors Corporation had an "automobile design manufacturing monopoly."  

While you are already here at this website why don't you find out who first created the ART & COLOUR section in the manufacturing world. The following three links will quickly point you to the authentic historical information behind the founder of the ART & COLOUR section of General Motors. Our scholarly information is a far from the interpretations of this man's story in the book shown above. That's why we strongly advocate you boil down on all the researched scholarly facts of this automotive pioneer's life and work:

FIND OUT THE NEVER BEFORE TOLD STORY BEHIND THE REVOLUTIONARY FIGURE WHO FIRST CREATED, DETROIT'S DEPENDENCY ON DESIGN.

To start, view the following brief 60 MINUTES clip whereby current Vice Chairman of GM, Bob Lutz slips up and tells Steve Kroft exactly where GM's financial boys were located 50 years ago in Detroit's auto world (when the entire business was properly managed), "During the parade of GM's greatness in the 50s and 60s Design ruled and the finance people ran behind to reestablish order and pick up the pieces. We've just lost the focus on Design." Yes, GM's current treasury office administrators have fraudulently been keeping this fact buried for decades of time now...all on account of personal gain! 

Lutz clearly admits to being some kind of an expert on how the modern auto industry works today, but don't you think it's strange he never mentions the key pioneer's name that originally created Detroit's Dependency on Design in the first place! Don't be fooled...Lutz knows all about what Harley Earl did in auto history, but very calculatingly plays dumb on camera when ever mentioning the fact sheet of Harley Earl, the founder of GM's, and Detroit's, Design Legacy. Sure, Lutz is just another foot soldier who is currently playing a big role in undermining the financial collapse of General Motors, America's greatest corporation of all time! Lutz purposely misleads and buries the artistic-engineering genius, Harley Earl, in an avalanche of hearsay [why mention the creator] because those are the orders he receives from GM's CEO, Rick Wagoner. Like Lutz, Wagoner plays the fool on this important American history and also never publicly dares mention any factual truths behind what makes the central universe of the modern global auto industry tick today: the Automobile Design Profession is the nucleolus behind the entire global industrial arena today. GM's finance guys and their attorneys clearly steer clear of ever mentioning how Earl's ingredients and/or the labyrinth this auto pioneer originated around design is the most intoxicatingly elaborate segment of auto building. 

What's the end game? Once the smoke clears from the bomb going off right now in Detroit's auto world, the financial GM administrators will have bankrupted this once great company! GM being broke will mean the musical chair game these treasury officers have been perpetuating for decades now is likely going to leave the American auto industry without much of a position in the global automotive design manufacturing game. 

Expand your awareness on this established "body of knowledge created by Harley Earl" for it's a far from the conventional misleading unprofessional hack GM's leading pencil pushers and their minions (yes, Bob Lutz is one of them) have put through the system and into circulation over the last forty odd years relating to the auto design manufacturing legacy of Harley Earl. All throughout the CAROFTHECENTURY.COM website, we clearly legitimize how and why Harley Earl originally set up and first founded the World's Automobile Design Legacy in America. So, where does all this historical material lead? Well, it's time the general American audience wake up and realize they have entirely been short changed on this major Americana business and art history. "By who" you might ask? Well, let's start at the top. Beginning after this auto pioneer's death in April, 1969, when at this time, GM's highest leaders started a con game of hiding this auto pioneer's giant historical milestones and business accomplishments. What was at stake? Controlling GM's purse strings. Basically, starting in the late 1950s, this company's Financial Department stripped the power from the GM Design team and quietly became the commanders of GM's future success or failure. Even today, and Detroit's slice of the pie has dwindled considerably, there is still a giant sized fortune at stake running GM. So, the last thing GM's current treasury office boys want people to understand is the fact behind how GM's Financial Department was playing second fiddle to the power of GM Design during the highly successful era of Detroit's past when General Motors was properly run and managed. 

Stranger than fiction, GM’s current top leaders still hide, deceive

 No wonder GM is capitulating so badly, the truth is finally coming to the fore whereby all the cockroaches are finally being fleshed out into the open as to why the company has been so poorly mismanaged over the years. subvert all sorts of corporate records from getting into the wrong hands, like one below, that tie Harley Earl to personally creating all GM’s most valuable and significant concept cars.
