“A car has to make you feel something. If a buyer looks at a car and says, ‘I don’t like it,’ all the other stuff doesn’t matter.”
“I consider myself one of the luckiest guys alive. All my life I’ve been able to do the thing I love most—design automobiles.”
Memorial service held in the honor of Charles M. Jordan at the General Motors Heritage Center in Detroit.
He lived an amazing life, accomplished countless professional achievements, influenced and served as a role model to so many, and above all was a wonderfully great and loving Dad.
Jordan likened this to “letting a tiger out of the cage—saying go!”
