I had the opportunity to speak with Murad Nassar, one of the GT design team members at the OMC picnic in 2000. He was mainly involved in the design of the Manta but he mentioned that day how the GT was destined to have chrome trim in the wheel arches. He "insisted that it was not needed and that it would take away from the clean lines of the GT." They listened. Thanks, Murad!
He and Chuck Jordan were at this years OMC Picnic. They told some very interesting stories about their Opel design adventures. I really enjoyed that.
