Car & Driver Magazine -- December 1994 issue

26 years ago...  I was working for GM, in California at the Concept Center California (Advanced Design Studio).

It's been a long time since car audio equipment ads...


I knew the young lady in the blue outfit.  We both worked at the Ford Design Center at the same time in the late 1980s.  I remember doing one social thing with her.  There were only three Korean-Americans working in the Design Center.  It was me and two designers/stylist.  I wonder where they are now, something like 32 years later...


This generation of the 4-runner is perhaps my favorite...


The Chrysler Cirrus beat out the Honda Accord & Ford Contour in this three car comparison(!).  Where are they now...


I always liked the styling on this generation of Cadillacs, especially the Eldorado...


One of the least attractive Porsche steering wheels ever...  (I think I have one of these)


The M3 beat the others...


The other cars were good cars too (300ZX, Lexus SC & Toyota Supra).


This was just the right size vehicle for the US market.


A different Tour de France...



I borrowed one of these from work for a camping trip to Glacier National Park.  It was a big boat of a two door coupe with huge/heavy doors but quiet and comfortable.  It had a huge trunk and easily held all our luggage and camping equipment.


Attractive car.  Known for lack of reliability and complexity...
