Avanti Trivia
1962-1964 Time Capsule
 
This "Safety Car" was designed by Raymond Loewy for the Cornell Aeronautical Research Laboratory and the Liberty Mutual Life Insurance Company. This engineering project suggested many safety features, but the vehicle was never built. Loewy sketched the basic elements of the design creating a solution that was both attractive and secure. The graphite, colored pencil, and ink drawing, is dated September 11, 1956. This was six years before the design of the Avanti. This original rendering is in the Prints & Photographs Division of the Library of Congress.
