Met him once while in Detroit. One of the nicest guys I ever met. His automotive knowledge and passion was unbelievable. His designs??? Impeccable. Truly hope GM's replacement will carry his crown as great

What a true gentleman!! Meet him at the Corvette weekend at the Simeone Museum last fall. Funny though he didn't know about and could not remember signing off on the 2015 Atlantic Edition? I guess Harland forgot to get he's OK! So he signed off on mine.

Nice guy. Very accomodating in talking with enthusiasts. Enjoyed discussing various aspects of the C7 with Ed at Amelia Island Concours and at the Simeone Museum in Philly.

I've often wondered about just what his role in developing the C7 was. I know he was GM Design Chief but how did he actually influence the creation of the C7?

He did, like every Program under his watch. Tom Peters get's credit for the Design, but Ed approves every highlight, line and surface that went into it.

I'm very fortunate to call Ed a friend. He is one cool car guy!!

This convertible truck was a bit earlier than the SSR:

"In 1989, the unusual Dodge Dakota convertible was rolled out. The first American convertible pickup since the Ford Model A, it featured a fixed roll bar and a simple manual top. Roughly 2,482 were sold that first year."
