Tom Fornander was a contributing graphic artist for CAR & DRIVER magazine in the sixties, T. E. Fornander on the masthead. A gentleman of many talents, including the initial BMW 5 series ad campaign, he was a true gentleman, his Swedish heritage befitting enthusiasm for SAAB. As my next-door neighbor, there was always an interesting car in his driveway. I have some of the original sketches for the PARAGON project, which, unfortunately, was not a successful venture. It would have been a neat niche vehicle,...sort of a scaled down version of the Excalibur cars. Tom is survived by his lovely wife June, daughter Kim, son Karl, and their families. Fond memories are everlasting. May he rest in peace. - Mark Axen.
