About Robert A. Caderet

Robert (Bob) Caderet (1931-2000) – As a young boy, Bob loved to draw trains, fire trucks and automobiles. That love of cars was finally rewarded in his senior year at Franklin High School in Highland Park, CA . At age 19, he won the prestigious Fisher Body Craftsman’s Guild award for designing and building the best model automobile in the nation and was awared a $4,000 scholarship. Using the award money, Caderet attended the Art Center School in Los Angeles and graduated in 1953. He was pre-hired by General Motor’s Chevrolet studio.
From tail fins to chrome bumpers and fenders, Robert Cadaret left a stamp on Chevrolet cars, which still endures today. Bob played a major role in the creation of all Chevrolet automobiles from 1953 to 1963, plus Corvettes from 1955 to 1963, including the famous Motorama Waldorf Show Cars. He was also instrumental in naming Chevrolets such as the Impala, the Nova, the Corvair Monza, and the Corvair Lakewood Wagon. His career at General Motors spanned from 1953 until his retirement in 1987. (Credit to Customcarchronicle dot com) See less
