Who designed the 69 Bonneville (Parisienne)
Permalink  

Does anyone know who was in charge of the design for the 69 Bonneville?  I'm actually more interested, of course, in the Canadian version but its largely a modification of the US bodywork to fit our chassis.

As far as I know that was Delorean's era, but that's about the only lead I have.

Thanks!

Dave

Googling the name, I found an old newsletter indicating Hillar was going to interview him (Jim Ewin). Did that interview ever happen, and if so, how could I get ahold of a copy?

Thanks!

Unfortunately Hillar died before he could speak with Jim.

Is the Hillar we're talking about Hillar Pinna?  I had no idea!  That's sad... sorry, I've been out of the loop.

Does anyone have contact info for Jim Ewen?  It's probably a history that's worth recording.  I could try to follow up.
