Chapter 1 - With such a pencil, such a pen.
The general outline for the book is to be a biographical account of Virgil M. Exner Snr's life, from his birth in Ann Arbour, Michigan in 1909; his adoption by the Exner's and his early years and influences.

Chapter 2 - The Big Break.
The second chapter will deal with his early working career, marriage, etc with an in depth look at Virgil's work at Pontiac with Harley Earl.

Chapter 3 ' Dangerous Curves Ahead.
The third chapter will be one of the longest as this will deal with Exner's time at Studebaker, including the war years, the famous 1947 Champion and the death of his youngest son.

Chapter 4 - The Fin Man.
Chrysler. Early concept car design, his first changes to production models and his groundbreaking 1955 and i?1/257 model year production designs.

Chapter 5 - Ship Ahoy!
The next chapter will be the early sixties when tastes in cars were moving away from large finned vehicles to smaller more economic cars and hailed the end of Exner's time with the corporation. This will lead on nicely in to the consultation work he did, the business he set up with his son designing amongst other things, boats. This chapter will also look at his Stutz cars.
