Unsafe at Any Speed: The Designed-In Dangers of the American Automobile was consumer advocate Ralph Nader's 1965 critique of the automobile industry and its resistance to safety innovation. The book is particularly critical of the Chevrolet Corvair which Dunn has here rendered so elegantly. The artwork is from the collection of Richard Grossman, Nader's publisher.
