"There is a common belief that all designers are artists. I am not. I studied engineering at Stanford and although I took some drawing courses for fun, I am sure that a good many high-school students can top me in free-hand sketching."

Guess who said this?

That's easy. Harley Earl.

Yes indeed.

Wouldn't it be great to go back in time and meet this guy?

Easily THE most influential person in Automotive history

in terms of Automotive design & styling.

The "Art and Color" department was what bridged the

gap between the spartan, function driven Model-T and

the coachbuilt Duesenbergs, Parkards & Bugattis that

were basically works of art on wheels.

I personally would love to meet Harley more so than

almost any living celebrity, be it an Athlete, Musician,

Actor, Politician or whatever.

Then again GM classics are No.1 obsession.
