The Petersen Automotive Museum presents an exhibition titled The Wedge Revolution: Cars on the Cutting Edge, celebrating the unique wedge-shaped car designs from the late 1960s to the mid-'80s. The exhibition features numerous cars that embraced angular, bold designs, starkly different from the prevalent teardrop shapes of the time. The Alfa Romeo Carabo, a notable 1968 concept car, symbolizes the start of this era. The resurgence of such designs is reflected in contemporary vehicles like the Tesla Cybertruck, demonstrating a cyclical nature in automotive design.
The wedge-shaped designs of the late 1960s through the mid-'80s marked a rebellious era in car design, featuring bold and unconventional aesthetics that were largely experimental.
The 1968 Alfa Romeo Carabo was a significant example of early wedge design, diverging from popular teardrop shapes, setting a precedent for later unconventional cars like the Tesla Cybertruck.
