Not a designer...in fact, his connection to cars is more financial.

Alexander Y. Malcomson.
Detroit’s largest coal dealer, Malcomson became Henry Ford’s partner in 1902. With Malcomson’s money Ford bought machinery and material to develop a prototype of an automobile. This eventually became Ford Motor Company’s first product. In 1906, after a dispute with Henry over the direction of the company, Malcomson sold his stock to Ford for $175,000.
