back in the late 60s car maker vauxhall ran a car styling competition for young people called the vauxhall craftsman's [sic] guild. being obsessed by car styling at the time i joined for a couple of years but was daunted by the effort required to make a model fit for entry. see here for extracts from the competition manual, and 'guildsman's news'. some of the entries are beautiful, plausible and prescient, others less so. as the naming suggests, no girls appear ever to have entered.
