| Biography: |
Cherry's first major opportunity to contribute his design talents was on the team that designed the groundbreaking 1966 Oldsmobile Toronado and the first-generation Chevrolet Camaro - two modern-era classics.
He spent much of his career in Europe, designing several hit products for GM's European subsidiaries, Vauxhall and Opel, before returning to the United States in 1991. He became the fifth vice president of GM Design in 1992.
More recently, his credits include the new identity, vision and design direction for Cadillac and GM's newest brand, HUMMER. Under Cherry's direction, GM revealed more than 35 concept cars and trucks around the globe - more than any other automaker in such a brief period - including the Chevy SSR, the Pontiac Solstice roadster and coupe in 2002, and several Cadillac concepts, including the breathtaking 2003 Cadillac Sixteen. |
