  Raymond Loewy - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Raymond Loewy was born in Paris and raised in France.
In 1937, Loewy established a relationship with the Pennsylvania Railroad, for which his most notable designs were the streamlined styling of the railroad's passenger locomotives.
Loewy's genius shined yet again for his work on the one of the world's quintessential sports cars - the Avanti, Italian for "forward." In the spring of 1961, Sherwood Egbert, the new president of Studebaker, hired Raymond Loewy to help energize Studebaker's soon-to-be released line of 1963 passenger cars to attract younger buyers.
