Larry's designs
I mean there are so many other vehicles that he’s done. He did a multitude of concept cars for GM that some people might remember. He did the, there’s an experimental vehicle that they used for testing it was called the Serve One he did work on that. He did the...a lot of the Corvairs, some of the Corvairs designs, especially the later ones that were more sleek or more stylish. He did a lot of the, once again, concepts of that, the Mako Shark. That’s just in GM.
And then he moved on to, when he was at Ford, he did the Boss Mustang, the Boss 302, the Boss 429, which are basically the same body. He came up with the slats on the rear window of that car, that went on to a bunch of different other vehicles started using those things. Some times he gets credit for it. He designed the...some of the bodywork and wheels, especially the wheels on the Chaparral Race Cars.
And then Larry’s done beyond those racecars, cars, production cars, concept cars; he’s done motor homes. He did work for Monaco, he did work for Rectrans, designed a complete motor home assembly. That was one of the jobs after Ford when he worked for Bunkie Knudsen.
He did tractors, farm tractors; he designed a whole line of tractors for White. He’s done big-rig trucks, trucks and trailers, designed racecar transporters. He’s designed the graphic paint schemes on many racecars, all of Penske’s Marlboro racing cars; Larry had designed the paint scheme on that. He did the Goodyear blimp right now, he re-did Goodyear’s graphics for the Goodyear blimp.
So it’s kind of all over the place. He actually designed the, I believe it was probably two generations ago, the Jeep Grand Cherokee, which he didn’t get credit for which there is some legal issues out there but he actually designed that vehicle when it was still American Motors. So, I mean, there’s multiple car companies, he’s done multiple transport systems, and then graphics. As I said, I mean anything with design he did and could do. He was very, you know, just multi-talented.
