Christopher J. Holley, associate professor of automotive technology, recently contributed a story to the online publication Mopar Connection Magazine. His piece examines how Chrysler’s “Forward Look” cars – vehicles characterized by a futuristic, streamlined appearance – in the mid to late 1950s shaped the auto industry in the latter half of the century. The story is complemented by several photos of “Forward Look” cars.
Holley’s article bio notes he “owns a '67 Dart, a '75 Dart, a '06 Charger and a '12 Cummins turbo diesel Ram, and he is a multi-time track champion (drag racing) with his '69 340 Dart, which he has owned for 35 years.”
Holley has taught at Penn College for over 20 years. In May, he was featured on the college’s Tomorrow Makers Podcast, where he discussed his unique path to the automotive industry and academia.
