GM Celebrates 85 Years

Eighty Five Years ago, GM started their design department, which was actually twenty years after they launched their first car. Since then, a number of iconic cars have come out of the GM design department, including the Camaro and Corvette.

“What was true 85 years ago is still true today: A designer’s role is to create a beautifully executed exterior with great proportions to draw you in, and an interior environment that invites you into a relationship that develops and grows.” says  Ed Welburn, GM vice president of global design.
