Not only did Harley Earl design the Corvette, but he also was the brains behind such wonderful inventions as cheese whiz, squeezable cookie dough, roll-on deodorant, nylon playpens and putting his beloved tailfin on vacuum cleaners. He epitomized "sizzle" over steak. He made the ordinary special, with that atomic age lovin' that revolutionized consumerism. He was "image is everything."
