  • In the medieval age of Europe when the noble people of various regions enjoyed unique cultures and life styles where made by coachbuilders. Such coaches would later affect the styles of the earlier automobiles equipped with the driving engine. Later, as the gasolines engines began to be distributed, the automobiles could afford to be flexible in terms of size and weight, while their performances and designs began to be enhanced rapidly. The important aspect of earlier automobile manufacturing was the phased development of styling which represented the pure approach to functions as well as the historical background. It can be known that such a development of automobile styling reflected the concerned industrial advancement and social influences of each region. At this juncture of time when the massmotorized modern society's demands for automobiles are unlimited and diversified, this study was aimed at reviewing the fundamental implications of automobile designs over time.
