For that matter it barely made any of the network news programs or major
newspapers either. But clowns who contribute nothing to society get all
sorts of coverage.
Family killers, rock star child molesters, those types.

I find it strange there is no comment on this in the ng -
though maybe cars he was responsible for in 60's and 70's
are not yet in the antique category yet - but the Pontiac
initial designs while at GM and the DMC12 from 81 must be
close to antique cars at least loosely considered
In any case
RIP

Father of the muscle car? What did he have to do with the Rocket 88 or '57
Rebel?

I haven't commented, but I was saddened by his death. The man was the
father
of the muscle car. I think the DeLorean's failure was mostly his fault --
I've read some less-than-glowing stories by employees, and of course the
fact that he must have known he couldn't bring them in under budget -- but
that doesn't detract from what was a fascinating car and still is today.
He was a giant in a world of bland automakers, and we owe him a lot.

Well, if you wanna go there... didn't he start off at Packard, whose
engine was used in the '56 Golden Hawk? :)
