  • Who is YOUR car hero?

    Who is everyones car hero? When I say hero, I mean who do you like MOST in the car industry. Im looking for names like as in Henry Ford, Harley Earl, Zora Duntov, etc.

    Mine would have to be either Harley Earl or Zora Arkus Duntov.

    Il probably have to say Carol Shelby. Hes been helping make sports cars buyable for tons of years. I think his cars were some of the first to take race track performance and give it to car buyers. I wish he worked/had worked for chevy tho...

                          I would have to say Eli Whitney. Many people only know him for his invention of the cotton gin, but he also invented the concept of interchangeable parts, which made the concept of the assembly line possible.
