AutoRetro Podcast: Season 1 | Episode 7 - John Orlando Birt

After studying fine arts John's eye for design led him to a career with Chrysler and then more notably Ford during the 70's and 80's. 

Elements of everyday and now iconic models were penned by John. Remember the Carla Zampatti Laser, the early Telstar, the Capri? John was there when it happened!
