The "Fooose" of Alan Cummings of Yorba Linda, one terrific looking flamejob down the sides and hood

Found at SEMA: the talented, famous, gifted, and Corky Coker posing

Pure class act. This is the face of an honest guy, who has worked hard, played hard, and earned what he's got.

Chip was signing at about 3 or 4 different booths. Yup, high demand

and two vets of the automotive world, George Barris and Linda Vaughn

You're not the Fonz, Corky.

TerraCuda by Foose at SEMA for a second year, in the Pirelli Booth

In last years post I have a bit of information about the Foose Terracuda: http://justacarguy.blogspot.com/2009/01/terracuda-by-foose.html

A good question to banter over when talking to car people, Who has designed the best looking cars in the past 100 years?

I arrived at that question when looking at http://www.ridelust.com/designer-century-most-beautiful-cars/#more-1423 which may be accurate, in awarding Giorgetto Giugiaro the honorific. I'm not debating Ridelust on this, just offering this premise to you for bench racing the next time you are among other knowledgeable automotive people who can offer their thoughts.

Sadly, I don't know of anyone I can discuss car designers with who is topically knowledgeable on them. I'm no expert, but I can hold my own by knowing the cars, car names and manufacturers, and possibly remember the names of designers if someone else jogs my memory, and the cars they worked on.

I offer Chip Foose, Dick Teague, Pininfarina, Bill Mitchell, Harley Earl, Virgil Exner, Marcello Gandini, Raymond Loewy, J Mays, Buckminster Fuller, Paul Jr, Larry Shinoda, Elwood Engel, Henrik Fisker, Syd Mead, Freeman Thomas and others I'd recognize if someone mentioned them
