Who said Creative Industries designed the cathedral tail lights instead of Richard Teague (whom I new)??? Where and who said that?

In fact, there were two churches in Michigan that inspired Dick Teague on the cathedral tail light. One of them is clearly visible today from a major highway... and you can easily see the Packard cathedral tail light right there.

As for what Creative did, sorry, but had it not been for them, The Request would not have existed... nor would the Panthers... nor would the Predictor have been able to make the auto show circuit (they repaired it-more than once- and maintained it). And Creative most certainly DID hand-construct the original cathedral tail lights in The Request... this is a fact. Constructing them is not designing them, although I am certain that Creative helped in refining the lens for production. I won't even mention their involvement in the Caribbeans and the 1957 "Black Bess" prototype. The "so what" part of Creative Industries is the fact that they were very important to Packard Motor Car Company during its existence in the 1950s. They did a lot more for Packard than anyone knows today.
