Ahhh....familiar name. Mr. Smith had a very strong hand in the "modernizing" of GM's assembly plants. It had some benefits, but again (its my opinion) at the expense of a loss of design flair, especially with the large cars. We did gain some good things in the 90's and even in recent times, though IMO not with the same velocity during the sixties and seventies.
