Car of the Century If you're the type of car buff who can't help but ogle every Mini Cooper or VW Beetle that zooms in front of your box-on-wheels, take a test drive through this tribute to Harley J. Earl, the designer behind so much of what's sleek and cool on the road today. Earl had an early hand in the minivan, the Corvette, and the SUV. He designed the world's first concept car, envisioned the glorious swoop of the tail fin, and crafted the sleek 1930s LaSalle. If you want one of Earl's beauties—say the 1954 Oldsmobile F88 concept car—it could cost you a cool $3 million. Check out the traveling photo exhibit for more on this automotive mastermind.
