jasonj80 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Moray Callum is going to retire. Will be interesting to see what Lo has instore with some of the icons at least we should have a future design concept later this year to show where Ford/Lincoln design will be going. Ford design boss Callum to retire; Renault veteran Lo named to replace him (autonews.com) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Turbo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 Nice guy. I met him in Vegas during the Mustang's 50th birthday celebrations. I do wonder if he ever got to "pen" anything though. The S550 was designed by Kemal Curic, although I guess Moray would have had input and final say. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His job was most likely administrative. Ralph Gilles, the head of design for the old FCA, was on Autoline awhile back and said he never ever has time to actually draw cars. I suspect that's the same for all head designers, no matter the company. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Twin Turbo Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 As he's now "retiring", I wonder if he'll join his brother Ian at Callum Design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FR739 Posted January 25, 2021 Share Posted January 25, 2021 What a legacy to oversee such great products. It’s amazing to me that he oversaw things like Miata and Mustang to the new GT. And then throw a pickup in there for good measure. That’s talent. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

atomcat68 Posted January 26, 2021 Share Posted January 26, 2021 Mr. Lo was making the "cycle of life" design for Renault. Here is an example: https://www.carbodydesign.com/gallery/2013/09/renault-initiale-paris-concept/23/ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But as always, different strokes for different folks. As a stockholder I say keep him away from Mustang, Bronco and trucks!? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He took over in 2014. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
