The Sci-Fi Art of the Vega "Illustrated by the legendary Shusei Nagaoka." This isn't just a car ad; it's a piece of art history. Created in 1971 to celebrate the Chevrolet Vega 2300 winning "Car of the Year," this stunning X-Ray cutaway was illustrated by the renowned Japanese artist Shusei Nagaoka (famous for Earth, Wind & Fire album covers). The intricate detail reveals the die-cast aluminum engine and coil-spring suspension with a precision that borders on science fiction. A rare convergence of American automotive history and Japanese artistic mastery.
