supports: Auburn Hills (formerly Pontiac Township) is a city in Oakland County, in the U.S. state of Michigan. The population was 21,412 at the 2010 census. It is home to the world headquarters of Chrysler, The Palace of Auburn Hills (home of the Detroit Pistons), and Oakland University.  Virgil Max "Ex" Exner, Sr. was an automobile designer for numerous American companies, notably Chrysler and Studebaker. He is known for his "Forward Look" design on the 1955-1963 Chrysler products and his fondness of fins on cars for both aesthetic and aerodynamic reasons. Studebaker (18521967 ) was an American wagon and automobile manufacturer based in South Bend, Indiana. Founded in 1852 and incorporated in 1868 under the name of the Studebaker Brothers Manufacturing Company, the company was originally a producer of wagons for farmers, miners, and the military. A fin is a thin component or appendage attached to a larger body or structure. Fins typically function as foils that produce lift or thrust, or provide the ability to steer or stabilize motion while traveling in water, air, or other fluid media. Fins are also used to increase surface areas for heat transfer purposes, or simply as ornamentation. London is the capital and most populous city of England and the United Kingdom, as well as the most populous city proper in the European Union. Standing on the River Thames in the south east of the island of Great Britain, London has been a major settlement for two millennia. It was founded by the Romans, who named it "Londinium". London's ancient core, the City of London, largely retains its medieval boundaries. Since at least the 19th century, "London" has also referred to the metropolis around this core, historically split between Middlesex, Essex, Surrey, Kent, and Hertfordshire, which today largely makes up Greater London, governed by the Mayor of London and the London Assembly.

Dodge vehicles currently include the lower-priced badge variants of Chrysler-badged vehicles as well as performance cars, though for much of its existence Dodge was Chrysler's mid-priced brand above Plymouth. Forward Look was a design theme employed by Virgil Exner in styling the 1955 through 1961 Chrysler Corporation vehicles . When Exner joined Chrysler , the company 's vehicles were being fashioned by engineers instead of designers , and so were considered outmoded , unstylish designs . Exner fought to change this structuring , and got control over the design process , including the clay prototypes and the die models used to create production tooling . After seeing the P - 38 - inspired tailfins on the 1948 Cadillac , Exner adopted fins as a central element of his vehicle designs . He believed in the aerodynamic benefits of the fins , and even used wind tunnel testing at the University of Michigan -- but he also liked their visual effects on the car . Exner lowered the roofline and made the cars sleeker , smoother , and more aggressive . In 1955 , Chrysler introduced `` The New 100 - Million Dollar Look '' . With a long hood and short deck , the wedgelike designs of the Chrysler 300 letter series and revised 1957 models suddenly brought the company to the forefront of design , with Ford and General Motors quickly working to catch up . The 1957 Plymouths were advertised with the slogan , `` Suddenly , it 's 1960 ! '' Fins soon lost popularity . By the late 1950s Cadillac , Chrysler and many other marques had escalated the size of fins until some thought they were stylistically questionable , and they became a symbol of American excess in the early 60s . 1961 is considered the last of the `` Forward Look '' designs . The 1962 's were referred to as `` plucked chickens '' by Exner .

Design is the creation of a plan or convention for the construction of an object, system or measurable human interaction (as in architectural blueprints, engineering drawings, business processes, circuit diagrams, and sewing patterns). Design has different connotations in different fields (see design disciplines below). In some cases, the direct construction of an object (as in pottery, engineering, management, coding, and graphic design) is also considered to be design. Mopar is the parts, service and customer care organization within Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. Mopar also designs and builds a small number of customized vehicles. The name derives from a combination of letters from the words "MOtor" and "PARts".
