One of the world's most unique automotive events

Each Father's Day, thousands of car fans journey to the idyllic home of Edsel and Eleanor Ford for the visual feasts that is EyesOn Design. Organized around an annual design theme, vehicle owners are invited to share their rolling sculpture with the world.

Unlike concours d'elegance events, judging is predominately conducted by automotive designers using professional design criteria, not based on restoration or authenticity. The event attracts some of the world's leading designers, collectors, and fans for an unpretentious and unmatched day.

Also unique among car shows, one class of cars is judged by a group called the Visionaries — blind and visually impaired judges donning white gloves and evaluating the vehicles only by touch. The Visionaries represent the mission upon which EyesOn Design was originally conceived — to support the work of the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology.

EyesOn Design has raised millions of dollars to support the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. The DIO, a division of the Henry Ford Health Department of Ophthalmology, supports the visually impaired and organizes groundbreaking eye research conferences.
