Roy Axe devoted his life to car styling. From his earliest years,
he had a passion for the way cars looked and having secured a job
in the engineering department of Rootes he soon persuaded his
bosses to allow him to study in the styling department. From then
on, his course for a life in style was set. Axe enjoyed a stellar
career. At just 29 he became design director at Rootes and Chrysler
UK where he was responsible for styling many influential classics.
During a period of massive expansion he worked for Chrysler in both
the UK and the USA and headed up a truly international operation
that shaped cars from all over the world - including the
groundbreaking Chrysler Minivan. He also enjoyed a spell leading
Rover's design team during one of its most embattled periods,
overseeing the launch of the 800- and 200-series and the
development of some exciting prototypes. A Life in Style is a
unique first-hand account of corporate life in the automotive
industry, and the sometimes troubled circumstances in which new
cars were created. The accounts of battles between styling and
engineering departments, as well as the cultural differences
between car people from all four corners of the world are
absolutely fascinating - as is the life story of a man who proved
that nice guys can succeed in the car industry.
