[AW Design Forum Alums] AutoWeek's annual Design Forum at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit has drawn many of the best and the brightest from the global design community. While the event was on hiatus for 2009, plans are under way for a bigger and better 2010 forum. Here's the latest on some of our illustrious alums.
Boyd Coddington ("94): The hot-rod innovator, whose creations won the coveted Grand National Roadster Show's America's Most Beautiful Roadster trophy a record six times, died Feb. 27, 2008, at the age of 63.
Syd Mead ("95): A conceptual designer for science-fiction films such as Blade Runner, Aliens and Tron, the artist, illustrator and futurist continues his design work at Syd Mead Inc. and keeps up a full schedule as a guest presenter.
Larry Wood ("95, "08): Four decades after leaving Ford design for the world of toy cars, Wood is still designing miniature cars for Mattel's Hot Wheels line.
John Cafaro ("97): Cafaro, the chief designer of the C5 Chevrolet Corvette, is now director of exterior design for GM's global crossover vehicles.
J Mays ("98, "03): Mays worked for Audi, BMW and Volkswagen before joining Ford in 1997, where today he is Ford's group vice president of design and chief creative officer.
Peter Horbury ("99, "06): Horbury returned this month to Volvo headquarters in Sweden as head of design, after a seven-year absence during which he led design for Ford's Premier Automotive Group (Aston Martin, Jaguar, Land Rover and Volvo). He also spent five years as the head of Ford Americas design.
