He spent most of that time working for one manufacturer, where he was the lead designer of numerous production cars.

Was that manufacturer based in the USA ?

The manufacturer has multiple design studios and factories in the US, but it's headquartered in another country.

One of those cars featured a single design element that he considered to be his signature touch -- the one thing he'd be most remembered for as a designer.

Retractable headlights ?

Yes

Most nineties Hondas were rather bland, so I can't really think of a prominent design feature. Maybe the slightly fared-in, round headlights featured on Integras and CRXs/Del Sols of that era ?
