My friend Jim Halderman is a mentor in my life. We’ve worked on many projects together. We travel to auto shows in Detroit in and Chicago together and have for nearly 10 years now. I learn from his wealth of experience and his “miscellaneous useless information.”
Together, Jim and I collaborated on a book called Mustang by Design. It tells the story of the original Mustang from inside the design studio. Jim is the first cousin of Gale Halderman who was the main designer of the Mustang and worked 40 years at Ford.

I’m partially to blame for that movement when I wrote last year about how I thought it was a travesty to put the Mustang emblem and hallowed name on an electric crossover.
