An example of J Mays' design work currently on display at the MOCA.

Car designer J Mays owns the road, having designed the hugely popular new VW Beetle and the retrofuturistic new Ford Thunderbird.

• "Retrofuturisim" draws from the past, yet designs for the future.
  
• In 1991, J designed the AVUS concept car, which later became the Audi TT.
  
• Once designed and approved, it takes approximately five years for a concept car to hit the streets.
  
• The J Mays Retrofuturism exhibit at the Museum of Contemporary Art in Los Angeles, is the first major museum show of an American Car Designer.
  
• Cars designed by J typically cost between $35,000-$55,000.
