Sad news.

I do remember his creations. In fact, Revell model company and perhaps AMT recreated several of them as plastic model kits. I wonder how many of us here built a few of them.

I built quite a few of them as a kid. I don't have any of them anymore, unfortunately, but I do have a couple of the old Monogram kits that he designed custom parts for, such as the 1958 Thunderbird with custom bubble top, as well as many others.

Don't forget a lot of those 60's customing guys also designed for Hot Wheels too.
I know the "Python" was a Dean Jeffries design.
