When we saw Charles Phoenix's Disneyland slideshow last year, we were treated to a wonderful surprise...Bob Gurr was in the audience. It was truly eye opening to see slide after slide of different Disneyland vehicles and hear, "Bob Gurr designed this one too," over and over. He had great stories about going to junk yards and salvaging parts from old Buicks and Chevys to piece together everything from the Autopia cars to the Monorails. He had real vision to be able to take existing forms that were recognizable in their own right and come up with something new out of them with their own unique character.
