Each year thousands of boys and young men from across America competed for scholarships by designing, building, and submitting a scale model of their own \"dream car,\" to be judged on such qualities as design originality and craftsmanship. A public relations bonanza for GM, the program helped to identify and nurture a generation of future leaders in design engineering, automotive design, automotive styling, industrial design and other endeavors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e In these essays, more than 30 Guildsmen chronicle their experiences in the competition, revealing their model car design techniques, tricks, and secrets: Philip J.
