2014 EyesOn Design Vehicle Categories Announced

The vehicle categories for this year's EyesOn Design exhibition have been announced. Each of the seventeen categories has been selected to complement the theme of this year's – 'Automotive design's influence on popular culture'.

The organizers have chosen the theme and the cars on display to provoke 'a nostalgic reflection about cars that have, through their design, affected the popular culture of their day.'
More than 250 vehicles will be shown, representing the following categories:
50th Anniversary of the GTO – celebrating 50 year's of Pontiac's muscle car
Classic Era – high culture becomes pop culture, from the mid-20s to WW2 
100 Years of Dodge – a century of survival and success stories
Color, Chrome and Fins – symbols of post-war American optimism 
1964 New York World's Fair – 50-years on from the event in Queens 
50th Anniversary of the Ford Mustang – the original pony car 
Tuners – the evolution of car personalization from 1967 to today
Muscle Cars – high horsepower straight from Detroit 
Working Class of 1928 – American car culture is born 
Pure Michigan – a celebration of some of the lesser-know makers from Flint, MI 
Personal Luxury Coupés – a look at the high-end mid-size coupés of the 1970s 
Movie & TV Cars – including four-wheeled stars from the big and small screen
Maserati – highlights from 100 years of the Italian maker
Stock to Rock – standard models paired with their heavily customized twins
