Book Description
The Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild was a national auto design competition sponsored by the Fisher Body Division of General Motors. This competition was for teenagers to compete for college scholarships by designing and building scale model "dream" cars. Held from the 1930s through the 1960s, it helped identify and nurture a whole generation of designers and design executives. Virgil M. Exner, Jr., Charles M. Jordan, Robert W. Henderson, Robert A. Cadaret, Richard Arbib, Elia 'Russ' Russinoff, Galen Wickersham, Ronald C. Hill, Edward F. Taylor, George R. Chartier, Charles W. Pelly, Gary Graham, Charles A. Gibilterra, E. Arthur Russell, William A. Moore, Terry R. Henline, Paul Tatseos, Allen T. Weideman, Kenneth J. Dowd, Stuart Shuster, John M. Mellberg, Harry E. Schoepf, and Ronald J. Will, are among those designers and design executives who participated in the Guild. The book also describes many aspects of the miniature model Napoleonic Coach and other scale model cars the students designed.
Building the Union

Book Description
Building the Union provides a unique perspective on the history of automaking and autoworkers in Detroit, Michigan. Focused on the sitdown strikes and union organizing of the 1930s, it tells the story of a small group of immigrants--British and Irish workers driven from their homes by depression and civil war--who came to Detroit in the 1920s and played a pivotal role in the rise of mass production and the success of union unionism. Steve Babson challenges many preconceptions about the industrial and social history of America's Motor City. He examines a critical paradox in this history: as scientific management deskilled production work, it helped destroy the apprenticeship system that produced toll and die makers. Employers thought they could solve this dilemma by recruiting toolmakers from Britain and Germany. However, Anglo-Gaelic immigrants brought to Detroit more than just their toolboxes: their cultural baggage included a repretoire of collective action and organizational know-how. Building the Union makes provocative suggestions about the dynamics of class, craft, and culture in the rise of America's leading industrial union. Babson's focus on strategic groups and their role in galvanizing collective action also has implications that apply to the general study of popular protest and mass movements.
