Introducing Mr Virgil Exner

["M Turner" <tminjesu@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Wow!  Wow, again!  This takes me back to my boyhood.  I ate, drank and slept cars at that age and Virgil Exner was one of my auto design "heroes".  Recently, Royal Ford who writes the Automobile column for The Boston Globe wrote about Harley Earle.  I wrote an email to Ford, saying, "I also remember Virgil Exner as among the top auto designers of the fifties."  Thanks for this post!  I also ponder:  Where have all those truly greats gone?  Today's cars seem so much less creative by comparison.
