Bill Mitchell’s fabulous Riviera Silver Arrow I is one of several hundred exceptional cars set to appear at EyesOn Design at the Edsel Ford House this coming Sunday. 

 

Next Sunday, June 16, is Father’s Day, and we know what that means: time for another EyesOn Design show at the posh Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, Michigan. In support of a great cause, the Detroit Institute of Ophthamology, the show focuses on styling and design, drawing some of the most memorable cars around.

The theme for 2013 is “Revolution over Evolution — highlighting revolutionary changes in auto design.”  The special categories this year include Classics, Hot Rods, Thunderbirds, European Exotics, Chris-Craft wooden boats, and a special Pure Michigan exhibit featuring cars built in Jackson, Michigan. Here are a few of the vehicles that came out for a special media preview earlier in the week:

 

1948 Chrysler Town & Country Convertible owned by Greg Ornazian

 

1958 Cadillac Sixty Special owned by Steve and Gloria Wolken 

 

1911 Jackson owned by Todd and Faith Holton
