On January 12 thru April 12, 2018, the Automotive Hall of Fame in Detroit, MI will be celebrating the accomplishments of the late Roy Lunn. Best known as the Godfather of Ford’s Le Mans-winning GT40s, he also led the team that designed, engineered and developed the Jeep Cherokee, the first modern unibody SUV. During his 40-year career, Lunn designed a prolific array of vehicles including postwar sports cars, radical concept cars and trucks, iconic racing machines, four-wheel-drive cars and SUVs and even military vehicles. In 2016, he was inducted into the Automotive Hall of Fame for his contributions to automobile engineering.
