Hemmings Sunday Cinema – GM Styling on the Look of Things, Attaining Nirvana in Citroen, Mr. K, The Junkman

* Once you get past the siren songs and the tautological arguments of the first few minutes of this circa 1953 GM video – not to mention the GM propaganda throughout – you actually get a pretty good look at the process of designing a car in the Fifties, from sketching and rendering through clay and plaster.



* How is a Citroen DS21 like the rock band Nirvana? Record exec Jeff Suhy, for one, appreciates them both, but it goes deeper, he argues in the latest video from Petrolicious: It touches on how a cultural movement can be both immensely popular and iconoclastic at the same time.



* On the news of Mr. K’s death last weekend, Nissan re-released its three-part video series looking at the life and times of Yutaka Katayama. Part 1 is above, follow the links to part 2 and part 3.



* Finally, though nobody mentioned it when we ran the entire H.B. Halicki “Gone in 60 Seconds” a few weeks ago, the purported sequel, 1982′s “The Junkman” is worth a watch for you Halicki/Seventies stuntman fans.
