ONE POWERFUL PEDIGREE.
The formidable SRT family reigns supreme, bridging the best of street and racetrack. For 2013, SRT Viper
takes a leading role with 640 horsepower, unprecedented power-to-weight ratios, aerodynamic exterior design
that pushes new limits, along with handling and interior refinements that exceed all expectations. It’s born
of the SRT DNA that starts with the steel in every bolt and touches component after crafted component until
a world-class machine is built. Genetics have never been more on your side. Facebook and logo are registered trademarks

Welcome to EyesOn Design 2013
n
W
elcome 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 MD
Medical Director

NISSAN RESONANCE CONCEPT
WINNER OF THE 2013 EYESON DESIGN AWARD,
A Letter from Dr. Paul Edwards
A
s 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, MD
Chairman, Department of Ophthalmology & Eye Care Services

A Letter from Honorary Chair, Kevin Hunter

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.
elcome 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.
As a world leader in chrome plating technology and innovative finishes
SRG Global designs and engineers brilliance into every part, turning
a first impression into a lasting one. SRG Global is proud to
support the DIO in its mission to make vision a reality.
Sponsor of the 2013 EyesOn Design

A Letter from Event Chair, Bob Grosscup
W
elcome 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.
We provide the touches
that touch the driver...
With warmest regards,
Bob Grosscup

2013 EyesOn Design Judging System
ith 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

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.

EyesOn Design Vehicle
Categories for 2013
Every year, the EyesOn Design Automotive Design Exhibition presents
a stellar display of iconic vehicles at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House on
Father’s Day.
To celebrate its 26th annual car show on June 16, EyesOn Design will
exhibit a unique collection of more than 240 rare, significant and dramatic
designs from the past, present and future that highlight this year’s theme:
Revolution Over Evolution.
Extreme Makeovers 2 – Revolutions in Design 1953-1971 – Don Renkert
A chronological look at dramatic design changes from one year to the next , this category will pair cars of the era that show
significant styling changes from old model to new. Most of these revolutionary transformations continued each brand’s styling
cues in some form, but at many dealerships on introduction day, car-gazers were shocked by what they saw: makeovers so
extreme that only by reading the nameplates could the car’s identity be known.
1948 Tucker 4-Door Sedan
Stahls Automotive Foundation
Chesterfield MI
Upper Class Reunion - Evolution / Revolution of American Luxury 1955-1969 – Don Renkert
In 1955, American luxury automakers Cadillac and Lincoln were joined by Imperial, in its first year as a stand-alone brand
from Chrysler. Each of these flagship marques featured dramatically unique styling that steadily evolved through the years, but
sometimes with surprising design changes. In the years before the arrival of fierce German and Japanese competition, American
class ruled the world.

Sports Car Revolution – Post-war British & American – Matt Batulis
The 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.

Baby Boomers - Revolutionary Compacts Born in America 1946-1964 – Don Renkert
The emergence of American compact cars began in 1946 with the diminutive Crosley, and was championed by several
independent makes with little market impact throughout the ‘50s. 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 Ashton
In 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.

While 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.

Revolution 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.

Fifty Year Flight - The Thunderbird Revolution - 1955-2005 – Brian Butler
An 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.

In keeping with the show’s focus on the emotion and character of automotive design, these vehicles display significant modern

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.

Preserving the Vision – Special Award Class – Marcus Shelley
Classic Chris-Crafts – Peter Pryce
Each year, this award is given to recognize a museum or individual who preserves and/or restores historic and stylistically
significant examples of the designer’s art. This year’s recipients are Terry & Rita Ernest, of the Wills St. Claire Museum in
Marysville, Michigan. Congratulations to the Ernests, who will show a 1930 Pierce Arrow at this year’s show, as well as a 1929
Auburn Boattail Speedster, one of only ten left in existence.
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. 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.

This category consists of modified custom trucks that represent modern design cues and customization that sets them

production truck, however, customization of sheet metal, wheels/tires, the inclusion of modern drive trains and other notable
modern enhancements set them far apart from the traditional classic truck. Some of these trucks may be sophisticated vehicles that
were designed and built from scratch as one-off show trucks.

Motorcycles – Andy Sirvio
Several 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.

The 2013 EyesOn Design will highlight the revolutionary
changes that caused car design to leap forward.
E
volution: 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 quieter insurrection that
was emerging after the war
was a focus on a new
generation of smaller cars.
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,

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 19531971, 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 antiestablishment sentiment. Although usually designed as twodoor 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 19552005” 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
58
1936 Harley Davidson.
Lamborghini Countach.
“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.
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

ayne K Cherry was
elected GM vice president
of Design in 1992. Over
the course of his 42year career with GM, W. K. Cherry set
the standard with a long list of bold,
innovative automotive, truck, and crossover 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
60
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.

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

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.

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

Little Deuce Coupe
Famed “Little Deuce Coupe” is
among the classics at annual
2013 EyesOn Design car show.
O
ne of the fan favorites coming
to the 2013 EyesOn Design
Automotive Exhibition on
Father’s Day will be the worldfamous 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.
64
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.
EyesOn Design’s own special
touch on judging vehicles.
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.
S
ince 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.”

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

As with many collectors, one car turned into two and two turned into

E
ach 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
66
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

completing restoration in California,
immediately winning top honors at the
Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance,
and it took the highest award the PierceArrow 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.

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.
T
he North American International
Auto Show EyesOn Design Awards
honors the most significant automotive
designs on display at NAIAS as
determined by the North American and
global leaders of design from automotive
manufacturers, along with academic
chairs of transportation design programs
and design leaders from other fields.
These awards recognize the skill and
creativity of today’s most gifted designers
in the areas of aesthetics and innovation,
70
concept implementation, functionality and
spirit of industrial design. Awarded in
production and concept categories, the
EyesOn Design Awards are coveted by
automotive designers as validation for
exceptional design, as determined by the
leaders of their field.
New for 2013 was the Catalyst Award
– Empowering Great Design, sponsored
by Lacks Enterprises, Inc.
There are wonderfully trained,
experienced, imaginative, and highly
talented designers throughout the
automotive industry. Graduates of
Art Center College, the College for
Creative Studies, the Royal College of
Art, Pforzeim and the elite schools in St
Petersburg, and Seoul, among others.

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.

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.

n 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

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.
Classic Chris-Craft
By Pete Pryce
A
s 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 “ChrisCraft” 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”.

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.
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

t 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 selfassured 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,

It’s Just Another Car Show, Right?
W
ith 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

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

were 9 railroad routes servicing the
city with 22 express and 52 passenger
