...pictures include close-ups of wheels and grilles, views of roadside landscape, several junks and wrecks, a couple of corpses, and one female nude. The photographers, most of them not widely known, have been adroit in capturing the absurdity and the glamor of the automobile, its allure as an emblem of commercialism, transience and sex, but the show's interest as a sociological record is overwhelmed by the force, wit and elegance of individual pictures.
