The ArtCenter College of Design, right here in SoCal, is one of the top schools for transportation and automotive designers around the world. So it's logical that the school host an annual exhibit showcasing the works of it's best and brightest. From concepts to classics. Exotics to muscle. This year's ArtCenter Car Classic provided something for everyone. And rightfully so, as the theme of this year's car show highlighted the school's 70-years of contributions to the automotive industry. This is a favorite of iDriveSoCal's Professor, Clinton Quan, and he, of course, was in attendance and joined me for this iDSC podcast.

We are podcasting this evening at an undisclosed location downtown Los Angeles California. We're covering the ArtCenter College of Design their annual shindig that the good professor goes to each year. Did we cover this last year? No, we didn't cover this last year. Clinton Quan: No we did not. Tom Smith: But we talked about the College ArtCenter of Design in one of our podcasts that we did, yeah on why Southern California is the not only the automotive capital of the United States... But also the automotive capital of the world; because of all of these reasons. One of these reasons being that we have the College ArtCenter of Design, am I saying that right?

Clinton Quan: Well I don't know if he graduated from ArtCenter. Tom Smith: Oh really? You Know the Vehicle Designs Clinton Quan: I don't know right off the top of my head. He's very well known. Tom Smith: Was Fisker from there? Clinton Quan: Yes he was at the event. Tom Smith: No, no, but did he graduate from the school? Clinton Quan: I believe so I don't know why he would be there. Tom Smith: What I'm getting to is there's a lot of designers that have graduated from this school and we might not know the name of the designers. But, we definitely know the names of their cars that they've designed. The names of the manufacturers they've designed those cars for. And, we've seen their cars as the entire world has seen their cars driving around roads, again all over the world. Clinton Quan: I mean if he didn't graduate I would assume he has some relationship to the school. Tom Smith: And it just so happens that Henrik Fisker and I don't know if it's Henrik or [pronunciation] Henrik, how they pronounce it. Clinton Quan: That's a good question, I don't know.
