Harley Earl's Buick Y-Job

So much has been written about Harley Earl and his great designing abilities. Which if you do your research is a load of bunk. Earl is often credited with the design of the Buick Y-Job. Here is the real truth of who designed the Buick Y-Job.

A fellow named Paul Meyer who was born on July 5, 1910 was the actual designer of the Buick Y-Job. Meyer graduated from the Cleveland School of Art in 1930, and in 1934 took a job with GM in the Art & Colour Department. Which I might add was found by Larry Fischer who hired Harley Earl. Meyer left GM in the late 30's and after WWII took a job Chris Craft the boat builder, where he stayed until 1952. After leaving Chris Craft no one seems to know what happened to him.
