"I heard Herb Adams was fired from GM for intentionally deleting the intended defects into the seventies mid-sized cars frame, chassis and body molds. "
Man - I never heard that. Anyone have more info on whey Herb left? I thought it was because he had enough of GM.
So some Search info I found:
"Adams thrived in the Advanced Design group at GM's Pontiac division in the late 1960s and early 1970s, playing a pivotal role in the creation of the first Trans Am and, later, the Super Duty 455 engine.
But frequent regime change at the division and less autonomy led him to part ways with Pontiac."
And This:
"It was the Herb’s last day on the job at Pontiac as
he had been asked to leave because his racing efforts were becoming all too obvious to General Motors."
