Description

Southern California-based Gene Winfield has been in the custom-car-building part of the automotive business for more than 60 years.

His designs have appeared in a number of TV shows and movies from the early 1960s to the late 1980s. Some notables being the Piranha car from The Man From U.N.C.L.E., Catwoman’s ride in the TV series Batman, and the 6000 SUX from RoboCop, just to name a few. He also was the creator of the Galileo 7 shuttlecraft on the original Star Trek TV series.

In 1962 Winfield joined AMT as a consultant style designer for its model kits. AMT’s rerelease of the 1940 Ford Sedan delivery is of the many kits Gene designed.
