New Auto Design program at Art Center College of Design

In 2007, Peter and Merle Mullin sponsored a Transportation Design studio that challenged students to imagine a body for a Bugatti Type 64 Coupe chassis that was left uncompleted when Jean Bugatti died in 1939. Here they are joined by students and faculty who participated in the studio: (L–R) Richard Pietruska (instructor), George Yoo, Geoffrey Richmond, Garrison Gao, Theandrew Clayborn, James Brown, Hans Jahng, Alex Marzo, Mario Bekas, John Narciso and Marek Djordjevic (instructor)

The Art Center College of Design will be starting a new auto design program. Peter and Merle Mullin donated a gift of $15 million dollars from the couple who are classic car enthusiasts. The money will go towards the construction of a transportation design facility, and support future leaders in the field. The Mullins are no strangers to preserving art.

The Mullin Automotive Museum is dedicated to the Art Deco movement and technical innovation during the 1920s and 1930s. The Mullins started the museum as a tribute to French automotives and arts the impacted the genre.
