Recently heard from David Schultz, HCC columnist and executive director of the Glenmoor Gathering, who informed me that Wayne Cherry, the retired chief of design at GM, will appear at this year’s Glenmoor as the grand marshal of the event and will bring along the last concept car he designed while head of GM styling in Europe, the 1978 Vauxhall Equus two-seat roadster, which Cherry has held on to for the last 30 years.
According to David:
The car was an elegant but simple two-seater based on the Panther Lima chassis, a typical hand-built British roadster powered by a Vauxhall engine. Cherry referred to it as the “most uncompromised design I’ve ever worked on.”
And according to Cherry’s page on Wikipedia (that source of unimpeachable information), the Equus “established him as a stylist equal to those at Bertone and Pininfarina.”
Cherry will speak about the Equus and his time at GM during the Saturday night dinner.
This year’s Glenmoor Gathering will take place September 12-14, at the Glenmoor Country Club in Canton, Ohio.
