41 Ken Eberts and David McIntosh’s 1964 Ocelot Ken Eberts met Dave McIntosh while they were both students at Art Center. They collaborated on building a car together from scratch. Actually, two cars, one for each of them. Eberts, penned the car in 1964. Eberts is best known today for being one of the premier automotive artists in the world. In 2003, Eberts was named Ford Motor Company's official Centennial Artist, following Norman Rockwell who had been Ford's 50th Anniversary artist in 1953. After graduating ArtCenter, Dave McIntosh’s career at General Motors Design spanned nearly forty years, from 1964 to 2003. Many important transitions took place during that time frame that would forever alter the way cars are designed, and David saw them all. A notable example of one of Dave’s designs was the Buick Regatta. David currently is the Administrator for the League of Retired Designers. Ken Eberts co-designed and built a car in 1963-64. Eberts had a passion for automotive art as a young child before attending ArtCenter College of Design. Following his college graduation, he worked at the Ford Motor Company, on the design team of the Mercury Cougar, the Ford LTD, Lincoln Continental and other vehicles. In 1966, Eberts moved to Lockheed Aircraft where he was involved with the L-1011 aircraft. “California Pit Stop”—By Ken Eberts Ken Eberts—Above
