Jim Dunne

About

Jim Dunne, was an American test-track engineer, journalist, editor, author and regular contributor to automotive publications, including Popular Science, Road & Track, Automotive News, Autoweek, The Drive, Motor Trend, Ward's Automotive, and Leftlane News. In addition to serving as Detroit editor of Popular Mechanics and Popular Science magazines, Dunne is widely known as one of the industry's preeminent automotive spy photographers. Using telephoto lenses and carefully selected vantage sites, Dunne would surreptitiously capture photographs of often remote and heavily disguised prototypes, test vehicles and early production cars — successfully photographing the industry's most closely guarded cars, years ahead of introduction, and selling the photographs to enthusiast magazines and online sites. Manufacturers were known to at times plant decoys or set up forthcoming models, to generate media coverage. Read more
