Welcome to the 26th annual EyesOn Design automotive exhibit. This year’s General Chairman, Bob Grosscup, has steered us through a very unique year to a car show that will rank with the very best.

unique, since the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology has merged with the Henry Ford Health System as the Education and Research Division of the Department of Ophthalmology. This merger bears great promise and is borne with robust excitement on both sides.

The car show is a major financial supporter of the work of the newly merged Department. As the show gains in importance and financial productivity, our work related to eye disease and research in several areas will be greatly enhanced.

We are pleased in 2013 to have Kevin Hunter as the Honorary Chair. Mr Hunter is the brilliant designer leading Calty, the California Toyota Design Studio. His work has earned him the respect of every major design leader. We can be proud that Mr Hunter’s education in transportation design took place right here in Detroit at the Center for Creative Studies. Not only is he our EyesOn Design Honorary Chairman, he is one of us! In fact, Kevin Hunter has been a powerful internal advocate for the Institute at Toyota for many years. We are deeply grateful to him.

This year, as well, we honor Wayne Cherry with the Institute’s Lifetime Design Achievement Award. The recipient of this award is selected by those designers who have previously received the award. Mr Cherry’s career at General Motors earned him the respect of professionals who elected him to this high honor. The vehicles Mr Cherry designed show clean, elegant, exciting lines. Today, there are a special group of those vehicles on the field, along with the very interesting special car he developed after he retired. That vehicle, the VSR Concept Sports Rod, is also here with us today.

What a great show! We are truly honored to have you with us. You will enjoy one of the great automotive design exhibitions in the world. And while doing so, you are furthering the research initiatives of the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology, a division of the Department of Ophthalmology of Henry Ford Health System.

Sincerely,

Philip C Hessburg MDMedical DirectorDetroit Institute of Ophthalmology

Welcome to EyesOn Design 2013n


As the Chairman of the Department of Ophthalmology I welcome you to the 26th EyesOn Design Automotive Exhibition. This last year we welcomed the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology to the Department of Ophthalmology of the

Henry Ford Health System.We have added the Institute to a clinical department with over 32 clinical

ophthalmologists practicing in 12 locations throughout southeast Michigan. The department sees 55,000 patients with 130,000 patient visits annually, performs 8,000 surgical procedures each year, and ranks among the largest eye departments in the country.

The research congresses of the Institute, The Eye and The Chip which studies the neuro-tech world of artificial vision, and The Eye, The Brain, and The Auto which addresses the relationship between vision and driving, fit in wonderfully well with our department. These research congresses complement excellent research programs already underway in the Department.

So, welcome to the DIO’s EyesOn Design Show, and welcome to the Department of Ophthalmology of the Henry Ford Health System. We truly believe that both entities will be even stronger because of this merger and that the patients in our programs, as well as research and discovery, will be the beneficiaries of our work. Thank you for your support of the EyesOn Design Show. I hope you will enjoy as much as I do, the work of automotive designers in presenting the sort of visual delights in which all car enthusiasts can revel. To fully enjoy these beautiful sculptures, good vision is awfully important!

Sincerely,

Paul Edwards, MDChairman, Department of Ophthalmology & Eye Care ServicesHenry Ford Health System

Welcome to the 2013 EyesOn Design Automotive Design Exhibition. It has been a great privilege to be a part of this prestigious event for almost 10 years and I am pleased to be this year’s Honorary Chairman. I would

like to personally thank Dr. Hessburg and the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology for putting on an impressive show year after year, and allowing us to be a part of such a great cause in our community in the greater Michigan area.

Toyota has been part of America for over fifty years and this year marks the 40th anniversary of Calty Design Research, Inc., Toyota’s North American design studio. Since our humble beginnings as the first automotive design operation in Southern California, we have expanded design development to Ann Arbor, Michigan, where designers collaborate with engineers to create exciting new vehicles for the North American market. And most recently in San Francisco, California with our Toyota Innovation Hub, where we aim to tap into the creative Bay area vibe and connect with high-tech companies in Silicon Valley. I’m personally proud to be part of an organization such as Toyota that has a rich history in America and a strong commitment to invest in local communities like the Detroit area, one of the most iconic locations in automotive history.

There’s no doubt that the freedom mobility brings will continue to play a major role in future society and more specifically, that our love affair with the automobile will continue to hold a special place in our hearts. We, as designers, are always creating, experimenting and innovating to make compelling cars that not only provide transportation, but also a powerful and emotional connection. It is this special connection that drives us to view cars not only as useful products, but also as works of artistic expression. This is why we love supporting EyesOn Design, a show that captures the very essence of our love for cars in a wonderful celebration of style and design.

Each year I am amazed at the number of beautiful cars lined up at the historic Edsel & Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores. Through the wonder of sight, I’m truly thankful that I’m able to enjoy these magnificent creations. Only an event like EyesOn Design can celebrate design while raising awareness of the DIO’s research and development in the area of eye health.

I know that you will enjoy the show, and thank you for attending and supporting EyesOn Design.

Sincerely,

Kevin HunterPresident – Calty Design ResearchToyota

Distinctive finishes

As a world leader in chrome plating technology and innovative finishesSRG Global designs and engineers brilliance into every part, turning

a first impression into a lasting one. SRG Global is proud tosupport the DIO in its mission to make vision a reality.

Sponsor of the 2013 EyesOn DesignBest of Chrome Award.

Kevin Hunter is president of Calty Design Research, Inc. (Calty), the North American arm of Toyota’s global design network and one of the company’s key research and development functions in North America. Calty is a subsidiary of Toyota Motor Corporation.

Appointed to president of Calty in 2007, Hunter is the first American to serve in this role in Calty’s 35 years of operation in the united States. Hunter is responsible for overseeing research, advanced design, and production design at Calty’s two locations: the headquarters studio in Newport Beach, Calif. and the production design studio in Ann Arbor, Mich.

Prior to his current position, Hunter served as vice president of design and studio operations at Calty. He joined Calty in 1982 after graduating from the College for Creative Studies in Detroit, Mich., where he earned a bachelor’s degree in industrial design.

Hunter served as chief designer for the 1996 Tacoma, 2000 Avalon, 2001 RAV4, 2001 RSC concept car and 2002 Matrix. He was a design contributor for the 1983 FXV Tokyo Motor Show concept car, 1990 Celica and last generation Supra.

under Kevin’s direction, Calty recently contributed design for the 2011 FuN-vii concept, 2012 Lexus LF-LC concept, 2013 Lexus GS Interior and the all-new 2013 Toyota Avalon.


Welcome to the 26th annual EyesOn Design Automotive Design Exhibition. This event is an international celebration of fine automotive design of the past, the present and the future. It has indeed been a pleasure to serve as

the general chairman of EyesOn Design this year.The theme of this year’s show is Revolution Over Evolution. The vehicles you’ll see

here today have been invited because they exemplify the characteristics which have been set out by our Vehicle Selection Committee as defining that theme. Namely, these cars represent significant advances in design from their previous model year. In most cases, car design evolves predictably and organically. This show celebrates cars that leap ahead of that norm, and demonstrate dramatic advances in design.

In addition to the cars, the beautiful grounds of the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House will also provide a sumptuous backdrop for a special collection of motorcycles and vintage Chris-Craft boats.

Our vehicle judges are all designers from OEM corporations from around the world.

The Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology (DIO), a division of the Henry Ford Department of Ophthalmology, works with the visually impaired and the blind. EyesOn Design will continue its unique tradition of inviting members of the Visionaries support group to judge a class of vehicles entirely by touch. Remarkably, these sight-challenged men and women often select as the winner the same vehicle as the sighted judges.

The inclusion of the Visionaries is particularly fitting, as EyesOn Design is not just a celebration of visually striking automobiles, but was developed as a fundraiser for the DIO and all the important work it does.

Founded 41 years ago under the leadership of Dr. Philip C. Hessburg, M.D., the DIO continues to work toward the dream, now shared by thousands in the medical and automotive professions and beyond, to move forward the day when the visually impaired will recover some level of sight and to function more fully in the sighted world.

The academic pursuit of this dream continues with the international collaborative congresses known as “The Eye and The Chip” and “The Eye, The Brain & The Auto.”

I have been involved with several charitable events, but none more satisfying than the DIO. Nearly 300 volunteers come together to assemble this great event. Their hard work and dedication is evident in the final results – an outstanding automotive design exhibition. A very special thank you to the EyesOn Design leadership team which meets every Tuesday morning, the 2013 committee, and the DIO staff for their dedication and hard work.

Last, but certainly not least, I thank the vehicle exhibitors and spectators for making this a great Father’s Day event. Thank you for being part of this show, and we look forward to your continued support of this important cause.

With warmest regards,

Bob GrosscupGeneral Chairman2013 EyesOn Design

With its emphasis on automotive design, past, present and future, EyesOn Design is the

only show of its kind in the world. unlike other shows where cars are judged on restoration and/or authenticity, the exterior of each vehicle at EyesOn Design is judged using professional design criteria; emotional appeal, execution, artistic excellence, and design character and continuity.

Additionally, a vehicle’s interior design is also carefully evaluated. Judging criteria include appearance, functionality, use of color and materials, and compatibility with the vehicle’s exterior.

For the majority of awards, judging will be accomplished by individual automotive designers and/or teams of active and retired exterior and interior designers from leading automotive and supplier companies. Driven by a passion for automotive design, these distinguished men and women have generously volunteered their services to EyesOn Design for the benefit of the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology.

Sports Car Revolution – Post-war British & American – Matt BatulisThe big sports car revolution here in the united States started soon after World War II. This boom in sports car production was

caused in part by all the GI’s returning home, looking for cars similar to what they drove while deployed in Europe. Gathered together here are some of both European and American cars that represent this great change in the American car culture.

After the recession of 1958 and the surging success of the Rambler, the Big Three joined in for the 1960 model year and quickly dominated the compact car market. Born over the same span as the baby boomers, they too were destined to grow bigger in the years that followed.

The Muscle Cars – A Spotlight on Change – Bob AshtonIn the Muscle Car realm, we have seen countless major design changes. In some cases, an entirely new body style changes

the look and feel, as seen with the ’67 to ’68 Pontiac GTO. For the EyesOn Design show this year, we will feature major evolutionary changes, and will also showcase some hardtops placed beside convertibles. You will be able to see how our high horsepower Muscle Machines personalities are affected directly by design.

Pure Michigan – Cars of Jackson – William DearyWhile Detroit is often referred to as the Motor City, it may be a surprise to learn about the proliferation of cars built in

Michigan, outside of Detroit. A well-known buggy-manufacturing city, Jackson, Michigan transitioned naturally to car production with the advent of the automobile, and has been home to 23 different car manufacturers over the past 110 years. This collection will include Jacksons, Fullers, and Kaiser-Darrin among others.

Designers Circle – Stu ShusterThe “League of Retired Automotive Designers” is an informal group whose design ability has been honed by years of

experience and who still have the creativity, passion, enthusiasm, energy and ambition to design cars and trucks. The six automobiles in this non-judged circle are currently owned and maintained by members of the League. This season, the League assigned a Chrysler project that included iconic products from the past that are not produced currently. The resulting automotive illustrations may be viewed in the adjacent tent.

Revolution or Evolution? The 1930s – Marcus ShelleyRevolution or Evolution: That was the question when, in the early 1930s, car

bodies began to change and enter the Torpedo era. The idea was to make cars aerodynamic through body design. Some companies chose to evolve organically, slowly modifying their designs to retain customers and not do anything too radical. Other companies tried radical, revolutionary designs to differentiate themselves from the competition. Examples of both methods of change will be represented.

Hot Rods - 1920s-1950s – Bob AdamsIn keeping with the show’s focus on the emotion and character of automotive design, these vehicles display significant modern

design cues that distinguish them from their traditional predecessors. They may have begun life as production vehicles, however, their advanced body modifications, modern drivetrains and other notable enhancements set them far apart from the traditional Hot Rod, Street Rod or classic car. Some of these sophisticated vehicles were designed and built from scratch as one-off show cars.

Fifty Year Flight - The Thunderbird Revolution - 1955-2005 – Brian ButlerAn American icon, the Thunderbird began its flight as a youthful two-passenger car that was unlike anything before it.

A revolutionary shift in concept launched the “personal luxury car” segment, and then went on to dominate with a string of innovative designs that would cover fifty years. In the end, Thunderbird’s rich heritage came full circle, returning to its roots with a design that would be the ‘Bird’s final flight.

Classic Chris-Crafts – Peter PryceThe nickname of “Boat Town” could have been used to describe the small city of Algonac, located on the St. Clair River in

southeastern Michigan. It was here that the boat-building company Chris-Craft, established in the 1880s, quickly developed a reputation as a master builder of mahogany constructed power boats. By the mid-1920s, Chris-Craft became the world’s largest producer of mahogany pleasure boats, some classic examples of which will be shown in this special exhibit.

Motorcycles – Andy SirvioSeveral revolutionary designs can be seen first-hand in this display. The motorcycles transform from the diminutive bicycle

framed machines of the early 1900s to larger, mid century road bikes in just a few years. The early superbike era of the ‘50s and ‘60s inspire even more refined superbikes in the ‘70s and ‘80s. Some highlights include a look at the early evolution of the Harley-Davidson motorcycle brand, a comparison of twin cylinder “Boxer” motorcycles by several makers along with an eclectic mix of revolutionary designs from around the world.

Evolution: a process of gradual, peaceful, progressive change or development. Revolution: a sudden, complete or marked change in something.

It was former General Motors’ Chairman Alfred P. Sloan and his design head Harley J. Earl who are credited with the concept of the automobile as a fashion object. Creating the annual model change that would make cars go out of style the following year to entice people to buy new cars more often. The changes came in two types: evolutionary or revolutionary. Most changes were evolutionary, freshening the product on a yearly basis with new grilles, trim and wheel covers on the same basic body sheet metal. Some would argue that the first of a series was the best only to use the second and third best designs for succeeding years. Others may say some cars

improved over the course of two or three years. But either way, the time would come for a major body change. These were opportunities for revolutionary changes. This was the chance to push the vehicle into the future, only to start the evolution over again, but with new proportions, new themes or new style. Other automotive design revolutions came with the creation of new models and new technology. Here the designs had to highlight and celebrate the new idea and often inspired the designers to create a milestone design.

The 2013 EyesOn Design will highlight the revolutionary changes that caused car design to leap forward. This year’s poster vehicle, the 1948 Tucker, illustrated by artist Steve Macy, best shows this approach. Preston Tucker was an independent automotive inventor and promoter who took on the

Big Three with one of the first all new postwar cars. From the beginning, the “Tucker ‘48” was meant to be a groundbreaking design. With a focus on safety, the Tucker had a full perimeter frame, a roll bar integrated into the roof and rear mounted horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine. The car’s unique styling by George Lawson and noted stylist Alex Tremulis, made its advanced design apparent to the viewer, including a third center steerable headlight. In the past, EyesOn Design focused on grouping cars that shared designs from the same styling era, demonstrating the minor progressions of different makes and models. Now it’s time to play up the revolutionary changes of the vehicles that set design trends moving forward, allowing spectators to compare and contrast them against the evolutionary changes preceding and succeeding them.

The design of the automobile has evolved through time for too many reasons – from basic transportation needs like roofs, doors and roll up windows that protected passengers from the weather, to technological advancements like the internal combustion engine or electric starters and headlights that made driving easier and safer. Economic conditions driven by war, recession or gas shortages also caused change to the automobile, as well as social stature, where the wealthy demanded their automobiles be a cut above the rest. All of these factors changed the automobile to a great extent, but design and styling have done more to revolutionize the look of the automobile than any of the above.

Many of the vehicles in the “Classic Era” class at EyesOn Design began to change the way people viewed the automobile. An example would be the 1911 Thomas Flyer displayed by John McMullen. A similar production 1908 Flyer won the New York to Paris race establishing a new confidence in the reliability of the automobile. The classic car was no longer a novel piece of transportation, but instead was becoming a status symbol where style prevailed over the function. Marques like Packard, Lincoln and Cadillac set the standard of the day. But many of these cars still retained the basic body layout of a lesser Ford Model A, separate fenders and running boards, simple round headlights and a bright framed radiator shell.

Then came the “Prewar Revolution”. 1929 saw the introduction of the L-29 Cord, the first American front-wheel drive car, which provided a unique lower proportion. Even more radical was Cord’s replacement for the L-29, the 1936 Model 810 and its supercharged brother, the 812 designed by Gordon Buehrig. This car represented a major revolutionary change. The 810 Cord eliminated the running boards, hid the headlights and did not have a traditional radiator shell. In fact, Buehrig’s original concept was meant to have twin radiators mounted between the hood and the front wheel’s pontoon fenders. However, this idea didn’t make production. Other revolutionary designs followed as the streamline era began. The best example would be Carl Breer’s 1934 Chrysler Airflow design. This was truly derived from aerodynamic study and wind tunnel testing. Combined with a unique monocoque body structure, it transformed the automobile into the future state that took several years before the American public would be

comfortable with its appearance. For a real leap into the future, William B. Stout’s 1935 Stout

Scarab could be classified as the world’s first minivan. With a unitized body construction similar to the Airflow, the rear engine provided an open flat floor environment with no hood or grille shell and fully enveloped body eliminating the running boards. Only nine Scarabs were built, as this car may have been too advanced for its time.

There were, of course, many more gradual changes in the automobile leading up to World War II, at which time passenger vehicle production was halted in order to help the war efforts. The war itself gave birth to a small vehicle that to this day appeals to the rebellious youth – the Jeep has definitely stood the test of time. After the war each automobile manufacturer was left to revive their old body styles in order to fill the renewed interest in car purchases. The race was on to see who could come out with an all-new design the quickest. It was the smaller independent manufacturers who hit the road first with some of the more revolutionary designs.

The “Postwar Design Revolution” was kicked off with the introduction of the 1946 Kaiser Frazer, a fully enveloped body design with no separate fenders. Studebaker followed next with the 1947 Commander Starlight Coupe, a bold design with a rear trunk almost as long as the hood and wild wrap-around rear window. The afore-mentioned 1948 Tucker fits this group along with the ‘48 Hudson, ’48 Packard and ’49 Ford, all of which brought out their version of the “bathtub” body design. These cars were genuinely cutting edge for their day, but soon became dated as General Motors shifted the public’s taste with their new styles with features like the tail fin on the 1948 Cadillac, inspired by Lockheed’s P-38 Lightning fighter plane. The rest of the tail fin revolution is in the history books.

The quieter insurrection that was emerging after the war was a focus on a new generation of smaller cars. The “Baby Boomers“ class highlights the American Compact Cars from 1946-1964. Cars like the Crosley and Nash Rambler came from manufacturers who also made appliances, while Studebaker brought out the Lark and Ford the Falcon. Within this group, the rear-engine Chevrolet Corvair stands out as a groundbreaking effort, but mainly to the mainstream American car market, as the German Volkswagen Beetle had used this formula for many years. These small cars couldn’t help the American manufacturers fend off the invading forces of the foreign “Sports Car Revolution”. They had to reciprocate with sporty weapons of their own. The MGs, Jaguars and Porsches would eventually do battle on the racetrack with Corvettes,

Scarabs and Shelbys.The mid-century accelerated the need for a change to

modern style. Money was plentiful, attitudes were open and competition was fierce. The “Extreme Makeovers 2” category plays up the year-to-year transitions in design from 1953-1971, pairing a before and after shot of several major body design changes that happened in this timeframe. Compare the 1956 and 1957 DeSotos and pay particular attention to the radical change that Virgil Exner’s design team caused literally overnight. Proportions got lower, shapes became less round and details were handled in a totally new manner. In this same time frame, the luxury end of the market was also going through similar changes. This metamorphosis can be examined in the “upper Class Reunion”, where the same year Cadillacs, Lincolns and Imperials can be compared through several years and body cycles.

The 1960s were a rebellious time, especially for the youth. The brightly colored “Muscle Car” was one symbol of anti-establishment sentiment. Although usually designed as two-door coupes, it was their convertible variant that played to the free spirit of the day. Yet every regime created by revolution is eventually overturned by another rebellious revolt. Such is the case with the muscle cars of the ’60s, which have been overthrown by the more contemporary “Tuner” rebels. These small compact cars have their roots in the postwar compacts and the foreign invasion of the 1960s, but with a high performance twist. The battle for street superiority still rages on this one.

Although most cars evolve over time there are some that continually seek to find or reinvent themselves over their life span. “Fifty Year Flight: The Thunderbird Revolution 1955-2005” category will show the internal conflict and styling turmoil this respected model has gone through since its inception. It literally has revolution within its evolution. Finally being reinvented back to its original state completing its circle of life.

It’s not often that within a single model year there are more than one or two revolutionary vehicles. It just so happens that fifty years ago there were several. The “Class of ’63” was initially conceived as a retrospective of what the auto show looked like fifty years ago, but the 1963 Auto Show displayed new cars like the Chevrolet Corvette Split Window Coupe, the Studebaker Avanti and the Buick Riviera, all instigators of a major change in automotive direction. Bill Mitchell’s Buick Riviera Silver Arrow l show car will highlight this exhibit. GM Design’s Vice President at the time personally restyled his already stunning production creation.

One of the most revolutionary vehicles ever produced was the 1963 Chrysler Turbine Car. An experimental vehicle with a body designed under the guidance of Elwood Engel. Fifty-five examples were built and actually loaned to average people to drive on a daily basis between 1963 and 1966, to collect user data. All but a few were destroyed after the program was completed.

EyesOn Design has always had a good variety of vehicles and this year will not disappoint. For example the

“Motorcycles” category will be filled with an eclectic collection that is bound to have several revolutionary bikes, like a 1936 Harley-Davidson, with its “Knucklehead” engine, Harley’s first overhead valve V-Twin. Some say that this bike’s styling was the inspiration for all modern cruisers.

By definition the vehicles in the “European Exotics” group have to be revolutionary either in design or mechanically, otherwise they would not be considered exotic. In 1974 when Lamborghini introduced the Countach designed by Marcello Gandini, an EyesOn Design Lifetime Design Achievement Award recipient, it pioneered a stunning new form vocabulary that matched its dramatic departure mechanically, which placed the transmission in front of its mid-mounted engine.

More recently, last year’s EyesOn Design Lifetime Design Achievement Award winner, Chris Bangle, caused a revolutionary change to car design. His flame surfacing and informal approach to design was controversial at first, but has since inspired the rest of the industry to follow. Today we are, in fact, living in another automobile revolution with the growing number of hybrid and electric cars. This is a marked change from just a few years ago and the first of this breed were definitely distinct in appearance. Is the acceptance of new forms of automobile power by these avant-garde individuals quietly overthrowing the classic American V-8? Will this change in mode of power or some other factor be the catalyst to an equally dramatic change to automobile styling or will car design continue to just evolve at a Darwinian pace? I believe at some point a designer somewhere will tire of following the crowd and suddenly be inspired to create a dramatic new shape or form for his next design, igniting the next major revolution.

Wayne K Cherry was elected GM vice president of Design in 1992. Over the course of his 42-

year career with GM, W. K. Cherry set the standard with a long list of bold, innovative automotive, truck, and cross-over designs and received well-deserved credit for leading GM Design – and especially Cadillac – into its current renaissance.

In his teens, Cherry modified a ‘55 Chevy D-Gas for drag racing, winning many trophies. A portfolio of car sketches helped him gain admission to the Art

Center College of Design in Los Angeles, where he earned a scholarship that led to a bachelor’s degree in industrial and transportation design.

After graduation, in 1962, Cherry joined GM’s advanced design studios teams that worked on the 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado and the first Chevrolet Camaro.

Wayne Cherry’s passion for sports car racing began during his college years in California but while in Michigan, he began to race sports cars at Waterford Hills.

Cherry spent much of his career

developing his skills and building his reputation in Europe. He was transferred to GM subsidiary Vauxhall Motors in Luton, England in 1965 for what was supposed to be a “temporary” assignment. He ended up working in Europe for 26 years.

One of his first assignments was leading the design of a new sports car, the XVR for the 1966 Geneva motor show. Later his work included the highly acclaimed SRV, and Equus concept models. In 1970, Cherry was appointed Assistant Design Director at Vauxhall, and five years later he became Director

of Design. His work eventually paved the way for a distinct new brand identity for the British marque.

Cherry headed up a number of aero-concepts on production vehicles, including Silver Bullet, Black Magic and Silver Aero. The “droop snoot” look was applied to the rest of the Vauxhall product line and remains popular today with enthusiast clubs.

Vauxhall (uK) and Opel (Germany) design activities were merged in 1983, when Cherry was named Opel design director, and given overall design responsibility for all GM vehicles in Europe. Cherry’s team designed the Opel Junior concept, and the 1993 Corsa which received 20 international design awards and became a world car sold in 80 countries. His team helped to bring GM Europe into first place in sales, with a number of notable vehicles including two new sporty models – the Calibra coupe and Tigra.

In 1992, a year after returning to the uSA, Cherry became VP of design, and reorganized Design Staff, replacing 27 exterior, interior and advanced studios with eight brand centers and the first of four large production-studio complexes.

Cherry also established GM’s Corporate Brand Center, an advanced digital studio and two virtual reality centers, and increased GM’s advanced design emphasis by setting up advanced studios in Burbank, California; Coventry, England; and Warren, Michigan.

Also, Cherry strategically assembled a diverse and globally experienced leadership team which was responsible for a number of new design directions and brand identities. Cherry’s greatest achievement may have been the bold new vision, identity and design for the renaissance of Cadillac.

“Cadillac’s bold, angular design direction initially was seen as risky, but has proven to be highly successful and exactly what Cadillac needed to re-establish itself as a leader among the world’s luxury marques,” said Bob Lutz, GM vice chairman of product development and chairman of GM North America. “Wayne Cherry’s dramatic designs deserve much of the credit for bringing Cadillac back to

prominence.”From 1999 to 2004, GM unveiled

more than 40 concept cars and trucks around the globe - more than any other automaker in such a brief period - including the Cadillac Sixteen, which was the most talked-about and praised concept on the international auto show circuit.

“The Sixteen is a fitting crown to Wayne’s career: Bold and dramatic, yet graceful and beautiful,” Lutz said. “It used the language of design to make a strong statement that Cadillac …. is back.”

Several vehicles that started life as popular concepts under Cherry’s direction have since moved to

production, including the Cadillac XLR, the Cadillac SRX, HuMMER H2, the Solstice, the Chevrolet SSR, and the Buick Centieme.

In the course of his career with General Motors, Wayne Cherry has been involved with well over 80 concepts and more than 90 production vehicles, and their variants, including the C5 and C6 Corvette programs.

“For me, one of the most important things is all of the wonderful, creative people that I’ve had the opportunity to work with. There has always been a tremendous talent at General Motors, and in their facilities all over the world. Being able to work with these people is a joy and a privilege that I will never forget.”

After a 42-year career, during which time he was honored with a Doctorate from Art Center College of Design, and nominated in 1999 for the international Car Designer of the Century award, Wayne Cherry retired from General Motors in 2004. He continues to work as a consultant and in retirement designed and privately constructed the award winning VSR concept sports roadster.

Since 1990, the Visionaries, a group of visually impaired support group members from the Detroit Institute

of Ophthalmology, judge a category of vehicles on the grounds of the Ford House. Their goal is to decide through touch, wearing white cotton gloves, which vehicles they consider the most beautiful.

Guided by volunteer automotive designers and the vehicle owners, they judge each car in a specific class. They vote on their favorite, and present the Bridgestone Visionaries Award to the owner of the winning vehicle at the Visions of Excellence Award Ceremony later in the day.

The fact that amazes many of us who have watched this group “judge” for over

20 years, is that they almost invariably pick the same vehicle we (with sight) would have picked ourselves.

This year the Visionaries will judge 12 designs from the League of Retired Designers’ Circle. Watch for them out on the field. You will certainly have a rewarding experience.

Having a group of visually impaired persons judging at EyesOn Design makes our show unique and underlines, for the general public, what this car show is all about.

We believe that those who attend EyesOn Design and observe the Visionaries judging a category of vehicles, will leave the show fully convinced that this is not “just another car show.”

EyesOn Design’s own special touch on judging vehicles.

One of the fan favorites coming to the 2013 EyesOn Design Automotive Exhibition on Father’s Day will be the world-

famous Little Deuce Coupe. This classic 1932 Ford hot rod is

associated with the Beach Boys’ hit song and is pictured on the group’s album cover of the same name.

While the car is emblematic of California car culture, it was actually built and owned by Detroiter Clarence Catallo and customized by the famous Alexander Brothers shop in suburban Detroit.

Mike Alexander, who operated the shop with his late brother Larry, will also appear with the car at the EyesOn Design show at the Edsel and Eleanor Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores.

The Alexander Brothers created the coupe’s distinctive stacked headlights and custom grille, and the sweeps of aluminum trim on the sides of the car. After Catallo moved to California, additional work was done by Hollywood customizer George Barris, who lowered the car’s roofline and painted it a lighter shade of blue – the way it looked on the cover of the Beach Boy’s fourth album, released in October 1963.

Over the years, the coupe has appeared at countless car shows across the country. In 1998, the Catallo family bought the car back, returned it to Detroit and restored it to its original condition, in time to win the People’s Choice award at the Meadow Brook Concours d’Elegance in 2000.

Each year the EyesOn Design Vehicle Selection Committee selects a person or persons to receive our award,

Preserving the Vision. This award is to recognize a museum or individual who preserves and/or restores historic and stylistically significant examples of the designer’s art. In the past, this award has gone to major collectors such as John McMullen, Ed Meurer, Marv Tamaroff, Ken Lingenfelter, Jim and Rick Schmidt, Don Sommer and Mike Spezia.

This year’s recipients of the award are, Terry & Rita Ernest. Antique cars have fascinated both Terry & Rita from

an early age. Rita built model cars and collected toy cars, which is unusual for a girl. Terry’s interest was piqued in high school when a teacher told his class about a fabulous car made in the city of Marysville, Michigan in the 1920s, called the Wills Sainte Claire. In 1988, after several years of marriage, Terry and Rita decided to purchase an antique car. They decided that since they would only ever buy one car, that it should be a car that stimulated both of their senses. After all, who in their right mind would have more than one antique car?

They decided that the car that

fascinated them the most was a 1929 Auburn Boat Tail Speedster. They then embarked on the journey to find one. It turned out that there are only 10 original 1929 Auburn Boat tails left in existence, so the search would not be easy. Fortunately, within a year, they located one but it would take another year and one-half to finally complete the purchase. This car, the Ernests’ first collector car, is shown here today.

As with many collectors, one car turned into two and two turned into more, until the present collection contains 16 antique cars and trucks. The vehicles

include Pierce-Arrows, Packards, a Cadillac, Fords, a rare 1912 Havers, a Wills Sainte Claire and two antique fire engines. “Collecting antiques cars, touring, attending events and meeting some of the nicest people, have been what has kept us involved in the hobby for the last 25 years”, said Terry.

In the 1990s, Terry took over writing the newsletter for the Wills Sainte Claire Club, which had begun in 1959. His interest in Wills’ history and the company’s impact on the city of Marysville soon had him spending time researching additional information about the Wills Auto Company. In 2001, an opportunity presented itself for the club to be gifted a building in Marysville, appropriately on Wills Street, and so began the change to convert the club into a 501(c)(3) non-profit automobile museum. Along with being a founder, Terry has been the director of the museum for the past 11 years, since its inception. Rita is actively involved and creates most

of the museum’s graphics and display pieces.

In addition to running his own business and directing the Wills St. Claire Museum, Terry is also the area Head Judge of the Classic Car Club of America. In this capacity he directs the judging of Classic cars in the Midwest region and attends many events.

Collecting cars is more than just accumulating vehicles. “It gives us an opportunity to explore history and enjoy

new opportunities with friends in the future”, according to Terry. The other car Terry and Rita are showing here today is their 1930 Pierce Arrow. This car is an exceptional example that survived upper-Midwestern weather, crossed the Atlantic twice, then fell into disrepair, but came back to life under a meticulous restoration, and has won the highest awards in the united States Classic Car world. About the time the Ernests got married, this 1930 Pierce-Arrow was

completing restoration in California, immediately winning top honors at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance, and it took the highest award the Pierce-Arrow Society bestows – the Venderveer Trophy, which is now called the Weis Trophy.

Terry had admired a friend’s 1932 Pierce-Arrow, and while searching for a ’32 for themselves, Rita discovered this 1930 dual-cowl sport phaeton. Terry had his heart set on a ’32, but he decided to look at the ’30. It captivated him immediately. A previous owner had restored the car so perfectly that the Ernests only use the ’30 for high-end car shows and touring with the Pierce-Arrow Society. Like any old car, the Pierce-Arrow had a long trip to the Ernests’ garage.

“This particular car was purchased by the Meyer family. They were mill owners in St. Paul, Minnesota,” Terry Ernest tells, “One of the younger members of the family took the car to England with him in 1938 where, sometime before World War II, it was converted to right-hand steering. After the war, an American G.I. purchased the Pierce, returned to the u.S. in 1947, and converted it back to left-hand drive.” The car needed a full restoration when Lee Garoyan bought it in 1970, but it was mechanically sound enough to drive 300 miles to his home in Davis, California. Garoyan fabricated new top bows and hardware and replaced the badly modified front seat and windshield posts. Garoyan had to undo several non-stock items such as the vacuum brakes and a 1936 Buick trunk someone had grafted to the body using lead. A previous owner replaced the original Clark four-speed transmission with a free-wheeling Muncie three speed, but Garoyan installed a stock transmission. The car originally came with artillery wheels, but Garoyan engaged in a long search for the proper, optional, chrome-plated, wire wheels.

Terry and Rita bring a vehicle to Eyes On Design nearly every year. We thank them for their wonderful support of our event. Please enjoy these wonderful cars and be sure to stop by and congratulate the Ernests on receiving this honor.

Callum Brothers, Wayne Cherry? Someone “up there” in the company

had to say, “He/she has the touch of greatness.” That person is the catalyst for the success of the designer – and of the company. This year the recipient of the Catalyst Award was Bob Lutz. On his ballot nominating Bob Lutz, several years ago as the recipient of the EyesOn Design Lifetime Design Achievement Award, Jack Telnack penned a note, “Without Bob Lutz there would never have been a Taurus.” Mr Lutz, while at Ford, was the catalyst for Jack Telnack.

Wayne Cherry also credits Bob Lutz as the executive who empowered the successful string of vehicles we list in the Cherry era at General Motors. Thus, it is singularly appropriate this year, as EyesOn Design initiates a new award of the NAIAS that we honor Mr Lutz. Another designer was Mr. Gale, who said “Bob is responsible for more vehicle styling on the world’s roads while at BMW, GM, Ford and Chrysler than any man alive.”

Presented by the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology, the EyesOn Design Awards serve as an extension of the DIO’s annual EyesOn Design automotive exhibition held each June to honor and celebrate the past, present and future of automotive design. In addition to recognizing major design achievement in the automotive industry, funds raised by both EyesOn Design events support the DIO’s mission to assist and educate the visually impaired, help preserve vision by public and professional education and support research related to the eye.

Vision Research, Education and Support for the

Visually Impaired

As the research education arm of the Henry Ford Department of Ophthalmology, the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology is committed to assisting and

educating the visually impaired, helping them to maintain independence and dignity, while learning how to live a satisfying and productive life in a sighted world. The DIO also is a world leader in facilitating collaborative research related to the eye.

Support Services The DIO offers a comprehensive range of support services

for the visually impaired and blind, helping them maintain the highest possible quality of life.

Support Groups For more than 30 years, the DIO has provided a forum

for those who suffer vision loss and for the families and caregivers of the visually impaired. Two types of support groups are offered in various locations throughout Southeast Michigan:

• Senior support groups: For adults age 60 and older; meetings are held at the DIO, in St. Clair Shores and in Livonia at the Henry Ford Center for Vision Rehabilitation & Research

• Visionaries support group: For adults ages 20-59, meeting once a month at the DIO

The groups offer hope, joy, compassion, understanding and interaction with others who are similarly challenged.

Martha F. Gorey Resource Center Housed within the DIO, the Martha F. Gorey Resource

Center offers one of the largest collections of low-vision aids in Southeast Michigan, including closed-circuit magnifying machines, handheld and stand magnifiers, large print Braille items, talking watches, clocks and calculators.

Education The DIO also provides a variety of educational resources to

the visually impaired community, including: • AT&T Computer Training Lab: A classroom for computer

training of the visually impaired provided initially by a grant from the AT&T Foundation

• Professional Education: The DIO has a proprietary school license with the State of Michigan to provide ophthalmic education and is closely affiliated with the ophthalmic technology training program at Henry Ford Community College in Dearborn

Friends of VisionMany DIO programs are managed by its volunteers, the

Friends of Vision. Volunteers provide support in several ways, including helping to set up and provide transportation to meetings and events, escorting members on field trips, staffing the Martha F. Gorey Resource Center store and participating in the Steps for Sight event as part of the Detroit Free Press marathon. All necessary training is included, and volunteers can choose the activities that best fit their interests and schedules.

Support the DIO DIO programs are supported by the generous donations of

individuals and businesses. There are many ways to donate, including:

• Bequests • Fundraisers/special events • Donations• Honorary/memorial gifts • Endowment• Matching funds For more information, call (313) 824-4710.

EyesOn Design Each year, the DIO participates in and is the beneficiary of

two prestigious automotive design events: the EyesOn Design car show in June and EyesOn Design Awards at the North American International Auto Show. Collectively, these celebrate design excellence of the past, present and future.

Research Congresses The DIO sponsors two international research congresses,

each of which assembles more than 30 of the world’s leading scientists in Detroit for three days.

The Eye, The Brain & The Auto This program is dedicated to improving the understanding

of the relationship between vision and the safe operation of motor vehicles, in an attempt to reduce the number of highway fatalities.

The Eye and The Chip This program seeks to marry the most recent advances in

nanoelectronics and neurobiology to provide artificial vision to many people who are now blind as a result of many eye conditions, diseases and injuries. Results from the congress will advance the day when many persons now blind recover some level of useful vision.

The Eye, The Brain & The Auto

In September the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology, Research and Education Division of the Department of Ophthalmology, Henry Ford Health System, will again present a World Research Congress on the relationship between vision and

the safe operation of a motorized vehicle. Research leaders from the united States, Australia, Canada, France and Holland will present their research findings as we strive to further reduce the unacceptable death rates on the world’s highways. In the united States if we lose 33,000 people each year in crashes, it is tantamount to an airliner crashing every day of the year with 90 people aboard. Would we as a nation tolerate that, or would the Federal Aviation Administration ground all aircraft until the cause of the crashes was determined and a solution invoked? So what role does vision play in these crashes?

Thus, researchers ask: What level of vision is required to safely operate a car? Can visually impaired drivers safely drive with small telescopes in their glasses allowing them to read the State mandated visual acuity line on the eye chart? Should drivers with visual field (side vision) defects be given driving permits? Can auto designers help eliminate the challenge of blind spots induced by the auto body pillars supporting the vehicle’s roof? Are instrument panel (dashboard) designers able to reduce the time it takes us to determine our car speed, gasoline status, the time, the radio station? What role does distraction play? Can road signage standards save lives? What role do automobile lights play? Who should determine whether a candidate is safe to drive an eighteen-wheeler? What role does glare play in vehicle crash rates?

Each of these research problems are grist for the mill at The Eye, The Brain & The Auto. This three-day congress will be held at The Henry in Dearborn on September 16-18, 2013. This will be the sixth edition of this congress which is suitable for automotive designers and engineers, ophthalmologists and optometrists, motor vehicle licensing authorities and driver rehabilitation specialists, and others interested in this very pertinent subject.

Organized primarily by Cynthia Owsley PhD, of the Department of Ophthalmology of the university of Alabama at Birmingham, assisted by Edward R O’Malley MD, of the Henry Ford Health System, Gerry McGwin, also of the Alabama Department of Ophthalmology, Joanne Wood PhD, Queensland university, Brisbane, Australia, and Drs Philip Hessburg and David Goldman, also of the Henry Ford Department of Ophthalmology.

Participants may obtain 16.75 AMA PRA category 1 credits and ADED has approved this program for up to 16.25 contact hours by attending this congress. Reservations may be made by calling the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology at 313.824.4710 or go to www.henryford.com/cmeevents and select “The Eye, The Brain & The Auto” from the CME event listing.

Classic Chris-Craft

As Detroit, Michigan became referred to as the “Motor City” in the early 1900s, the nickname of “Boat Town” could have been used to describe the small city of Algonac, located on the St. Clair

River in southeastern Michigan. After being established in the 1880s, the pleasure boat building company named “Chris-Craft” was becoming well known in the early 1920s in its hometown of Algonac.

By the mid-1920s, Chris-Craft became the world’s largest producer of mahogany pleasure boats. As pleasure boating became more popular and affordable, so did the competition in the pleasure boat building business. Formidable local competitors like Garwood, Hacker-craft and Century, also produced quality wooden boats. During the depression years Chris-Craft drastically reduced the models offered and luckily survived! During World War II, the Chris-Craft company was a critical partner in Detroit’s “Arsenal of Democracy”.

During the war, Chris-Craft produced thousands of military patrol boats and troop carriers. As boat building technologies changed, so did Chris-Craft. By the mid 1950s the transition to a new material called “Fiberglass” was taking place at Chris-Craft. In the early 1970s mahogany boat building ceased and the company completed its relocation to Florida. The Chris-Craft company was bought and sold a few times in the 1960s, 1970s and 1980s. For a short period of time no boats were produced. But with its new ownership, Chris-Craft has been revived and is producing quality mid-size pleasure boats once again.

But for today it was just a family celebrating the day and being together, hopeful about the future. They all gathered on the wicker couch for one picture of the whole family together. Everyone got into position and the portrait was created.

It was perfect.

It was Father’s Day 1956. A family got together for a visit at the family homestead in Ypsilanti, MI. Everybody came, 2 daughters and their families

and 3 sons and their families. The backyard of the family home was lined with 100 yellow rose bushes, the wicker furniture was freshly painted, and

everyone wore their Sunday best. Vera and Preston Tucker had raised quite a handsome brood of children, and everybody’s futures looked very bright. But there was a shadow that cast itself over the scene: Preston knew he had an illness that in a few short months would take him away from all of them forever.

Yet he seemed so healthy and self-assured and, in his signature white linen suit, he looked like the most successful man on the planet.

For a short time just a few years earlier Preston Tucker had set the world on its ear. He had created excitement all over the world with his automotive ideas,

White WickerBy John Tucker

and the introduction of the Tucker ’48 automobile.

But for today it was just a family celebrating the day and being together, hopeful about the future. They all gathered on the wicker couch for one picture of the whole family together. Everyone got into position and the portrait was created. It was perfect.

That portrait would become the most important picture of my life, for there I sat, 3-years-old, on my grandfather’s lap, me being the son of Preston’s youngest son, a dashing 24-year-old, and his bride from Chicago. My parents met in Chicago during the most exciting adventure of all of their lives when Preston Tucker defied all odds and for a moment in time was one of the most successful men alive. However, at the time of this photo, Preston felt like an enormous failure because his automobile creation had been shut down. What he did not know at the time was that although he would be gone in a few short months, his story would become a legend. He would become a symbol

for millions of people, an example of an entrepreneur following his dream. The few cars that he built would each become worth millions, and, because of

his dream, every time a Tucker ‘48 comes out of its garage or museum today it draws as much excitement as it did back in 1948.

It’s Just Another Car Show, Right?

With so many beautiful vehicles and displays to see on the field at the Automotive Design Show, it’s easy to imagine that this is what costs $20/person to assemble. The fact

is, your attendance at the Automotive Design Show, Garage Crawl, Vision Honored and Private Eyes Brunch pays for so much more than these exciting events.

For over two decades, the combined events of EyesOn Design have been the major fundraising efforts for the Detroit Institute of Ophthalmology. Many people are surprised to learn that the DIO is, in fact, a charity. To help explain why your attendance at the EyesOn Design events is so important, we have assembled the following to illustrate just how far your financial support will go.

1906. In 1916 Jackson used a Ferro V8 engine in their model 348 and model 68. In late 1918 production was suspended and the company produced a hard rubber-tired four-wheel-drive truck for 1919, but went back to producing automobiles in 1920. In 1923 the Jackson, along with the Dixie Flyer of Louisville (Kentucky), and the National of Indianapolis (Indiana) were merged into a new company called Associated Motor Industries. The Jackson survived as the National 6-51 but the company closed by the end of 1924. There were approximately 20,000 Jacksons produced over the 20 years of the company’s life. The Jackson automobile

had great success in hill climbs, endurance runs and racing, winning several trophies including the 1909 Indianapolis 300 mile race, although the race was called after 235 miles due to rough dirt track and one driver death, the Jackson name is the first entry on the 7-foot Wheeler-Schebler trophy still seen by thousands each year at the Indy Motor Speedways Race Museum. In 1911 the Jackson #25 came in 10th place at the Indianapolis first 500 mile race winning $500.00 in front of 80,000 race fans.

There were several other automobile makers in the city of Jackson such as, in alphabetical order:

Jackson was poised for the manufacturing of automobiles. This city in the late 1890s had several

manufacturing establishments and over 7 buggy, sleigh, cart and wagon companies that employed hundreds of workers and produced thousands of wheeled products each year. Also there were 9 railroad routes servicing the city with 22 express and 52 passenger

trains in and out of the city daily (1899) servicing other cities like Detroit, Chicago, Grand Rapids,Fort Wayne, Cincinnati, Toledo, Saginaw and towns in-between.

Byron Carter was Jackson’s first successful car maker building the Carter Steam Stanhope car in 1901. Then in 1902 Byron Carter partnered with Charles Lewis (of the Lewis Spring and

Axel Co.) and George A Mathews (president of the Fuller Buggy Co.) to create The Jackson Automobile Company. Carter patented a 3-cylinder steam engine in 1903 which was used in the steam model called the “Jaxon”. The Jackson Automobile Company also produced a 1-cylinder gasoline powered car and in 1904 produced a 2-cylinder model B, a 4-cylinder introduced in
