Title: Tom Meade 1939-2013
Post by: Speedster on November 25, 2013, 03:25:33 PM
Hi all;

This is not about KeyShot, but I know many of you are automobile designers or associated with the automobile industry, and I felt that some may want to know that the great designer Tom Meade passed away recently.  I just got notice from his son Gianni.

Tom was a dear friend and client, and I was helping him with his latest supercar, the Thomasima IV, sadly not completed.  Tom was considered a peer and in the same league as Pininfarina, Briggs Cunningham and Harley Earle.  He was the last of the "classic" designers.

You can read more of Tom and his legendary contributions to the automobile industry at http://www.theautochannel.com/publications/magazines/sci/aug-sept-98/pg78.frame (http://www.theautochannel.com/publications/magazines/sci/aug-sept-98/pg78.frame)

His long association with Ferrari is at http://cafespa.com/index.php?news=000202&title=Ferrari-Icon-Tom-Meade-Dies-at-74 (http://cafespa.com/index.php?news=000202&title=Ferrari-Icon-Tom-Meade-Dies-at-74)

Rest in Peace, Tom, and we thank you...  Addio amico mio.
