Jupiter Jaunt, 2018

Description

The Jet and Rocket Age and Tail Lights Series

The design of American automobiles from the late 1940s through early 1960s was heavily influenced by the Jet and Rocket Age, as reflected in tail fins and molded plastic and chromium tail lights that gave the impression of jet or rocket exhaust.  In this series, automobiles of the period are reimagined as space craft traveling to a far planet.

Jupiter Jaunt portrays a storm over Jupiter inspired by images returned from the planet, with a Cadillac Eldorado flying over, manned by two astronauts, one filming the storm.
