John DeLorean

Aaron65 · March 18, 2011, 10:12:35 PM

Not John DeLorean...as far as I know, he was an engineer, not a designer. Either way, he was well past his engineering days when this one was drawn.

Ron Will?

Aaron65 · March 19, 2011, 08:27:19 AM

Do you mean Ron Hill? Either way, no...this may have been after his time at GM.

Otto Puzzell · March 19, 2011, 09:11:33 AM

Ron Will worked in the Corvette studio at GM. He left GM to build and sell the Turbo Phantom trike, which he designed while still at GM.

As there are no clues forthcoming, I'm going to take a break from naming every designer who worked at GM between 1960 and 1990.

Perhaps an AutoPuzzler with a sterner constitution is up to it.

Touchy, touchy!

OK, the man who sketched this was a studio head.

Bill Porter?

Aaron65 · March 20, 2011, 09:18:36 AM

Not Bill, he probably would have been over in the Pontiac studio at this time...

Aaron65 · March 20, 2011, 10:34:59 AM

Additionally, it might help to determine what time period Camaro this was supposed to represent.

Edward T. Welburn

Aaron65 · March 20, 2011, 10:55:55 AM

Nope...

John Manoogian II

Aaron65 · March 21, 2011, 06:27:41 AM

Not him...

Allemano · March 21, 2011, 06:44:32 AM

Was this designer only active for GM?

Allemano · March 21, 2011, 07:03:39 AM

The sketching style suggests Jim Bisignano.

Aaron65 · March 21, 2011, 08:09:55 AM

I'm not sure if he was only GM...I do know that he was a studio head for two famous Chevrolet brand names (including Camaro) at various points. Jim Bisignano is not it.

Aaron65 · March 21, 2011, 03:11:49 PM

After snooping around a bit...he was a GM career guy it seems.

Aaron65 · March 25, 2011, 06:40:55 AM

This one shouldn't be black hole bound...if you figure out the year the car's supposed to be, the man should be fairly easy.

Aaron65 · March 29, 2011, 06:30:50 AM

One last push, tomorrow it goes into the hole...

1. It's a sketch for a Camaro of the "future."
2. This future Camaro was built, and was a big change over the previous one, though it didn't look exactly like the sketch here.
3. The artist was a design chief, not of the overall division, but of the sports car brands.
4. He "rode herd" on another radical Chevrolet model change in the same time period.

Otto Puzzell · March 30, 2011, 05:23:30 AM

Jerry Palmer?

Aaron65 · March 30, 2011, 06:24:19 AM

There you go!
