    This is about your favorite official car designers, and why they are so.

    So, here's the 2 cents as always...


    Wifredo is my favorite less-known European car designers ever. Period.

    Here's one of his designs to showcase that:


    It might not be the most beautiful, but it's one damn nice Spanish vehicle for what it is.

    The designers of these 60s Fords are artistically good.

    Except that the best designer needs to make the most beautiful stuff.

    And Bill Mitchell-led GM certainly did that. His GM's styling department was responsible for some of the best stuff penned, like the 1971 Cadillac Eldorado, C3 Corvette, 2nd gen F-Body, "boattail" Buick Riviera, late 30s to late 70s Cadillacs or the Chevy Vega.

    Bruno Sacco

    Atleast from the designers I could find from Mercedes Benz, he is the best in my opinion.

    Here's a few images of his good/great designs:

    To be honest, I'm not a fan of the Vega's looks. It appears a bit goofy, but atleast it's tolerable at best.
    OT:

    The 80s were one of the best decades for the deceased Mercury.
