We could talk cars with Freeman Thomas forever and a day. Thomas, now the CEO of the revitalized Meyers Manx retro dune buggy company, has one of the most amazing careers in the automotive industry. And in this episode of The InEVitable, we didn’t even get to the parts of his career where he was vice president of design at DaimlerChrysler nor when he was director of design for Ford, North America. To say someone has done it all is typically hyperbole. In Freeman’s case, it’s just scratching the surface. Should you choose to listen to this week’s episode, you will hear about Freeman’s Southern California Upbringing, the roundabout way he got into the prestigious Transportation Design department at Art Center, his first job working on the Porsche 959 (straight out of college!), his historic move to the

Volkswagen Group, where along with J Mays, he created the concept car that became the new Volkswagen Beetle. From there, Freeman went on to design the Audi TT, a design that went from sketch to concept to production in relative secret. We do skip ahead to what Freeman and the upstart Meyers Manx is up to with its new electric Manx. Yes, Ed Loh and I have secured the first drive, the second drive, and everything else. There’s also a whole lot of inside baseball car industry talk as Freeman has worked with essentially everyone. Are you into it? You wanna hear about all of the above plus a bunch more? Hit that play button and enjoy! Then share us with your friends.➡️https://bit.ly/3GMvx34
