What do you do as an auto designer when you leave the “biz?” You take what you have learned and apply it to other things. This is exactly what Sid Ramnarace did after leaving Ford Motor Company. Ramnarace studied under design icon Victor Shreckengost at the Cleveland Institute of Art where he developed skills on all sides of product design. This experience helped him design such notable vehicles like the Ford Thunderbird and current Ford Mustang.
Everyone in the car world can appreciate seeing products designed with an automotive influence. This series of Metalware definitely speaks to the auto world with some artistic surfacing. How do you say “split eight spoke bowl with a five star center cap coaster?” These are some pretty sweet pieces of recycled aluminum.

So head on over to Ramnarace and help support a designer who left some great design history.
Thanks to JoshSpear for the tip and photos!
I saw Ramnarace speak once at the Cleveland Auto Show about the then New Ford Mustang (current body). He had really great sketches. I wonder what else he is doing these days, as I can’t imagine he is solely doing this. He must be working somewhere as well right?
Any Cleveland guys out there that can answer this?
