Designer Virgil Exner, visioneer and Loewy nemesis
Designer Virgil Exner once worked for Raymond Loewy--and the two didn't get along; Exner felt Loewy took credit for designs that weren't his own. So Exner worked on some of his designs in secret, and when his successful auto designs for Studebaker were made public in 1944, Loewy "went ballistic" and fired Exner.
Exner went on to become design veep over at Chrysler, and had a long and illustrious career as one of America's most influential auto designers. This Saturday eleven of his concepts go on display at the University of Notre Dame, timed to coincide with the release of his new biography, "Virgil Exner: Visioneer." Click here for details, and more of Exner's story.
