Wasn't this Goertz (sp?) who designed both the 240z and the BMW 507?  I 
don't know if he designed the Corvair (might have as I believe he was a 
consultant on a variety of projects) but I don't think he designed the 
'02 body (which I thought was an internal effort based on the four door 
new class cars).
