My name is Peter Aylett, a Brit now living in California. I founded Car Art, Inc. after a 25-year career as an automotive design engineer. The great-grandson of a London carriage maker, I developed an early appreciation for the art of car design, particularly 50s American fins, 60s Italian exotics and British sports cars. My work with Ford and Lotus in England, Mercedes in Stuttgart, GM in Detroit and Los Angeles, Nissan in San Diego, and Mazda in Irvine, California, helped create concepts like the Corvette Stingray III and sports cars like the Lotus Esprit, De Lorean and Mazda RX-8. A past member of the Society of Automotive Engineers and the Industrial Designers Society of America, I’m now a member of the Motor Press Guild.
