AeroVault History
THE DESIGNS OF PETER BROCK
The AeroVault joins a distinguished collection of Peter Brock Designs
GM Styling
It started when in 1957, 20-year-old GM Designer, Peter Brock, sketched what would first become the ’59 Stingray Racer (seen to the right) and would later become the 1963 Corvette Sting Ray.
Shelby American
By the time ’63 rolled around, Brock was long gone from GM, joining Carroll Shelby in Southern California in 1961. At Shelby’s, Brock not only designed several cars, he created the Shelby brand look and image, first with the Cobra Roadsters through to the Ford Shelby GT350 Mustangs. In ’63 Brock designed what he is mostly known for, the FIA World Championship Daytona Cobra Coupe (seen to the right). It was the first World Championship for Shelby and America. Other cars of his design that followed were the Nethercutt Mirage, the Lang Cooper, the Daytona Cobra Type 65 and the stunning De Tomaso P70.
Brock Racing Enterprises
At the end of the ’65 season, the Cobra program was disbanded in favor of Ford’s GT40 racers. Brock left and founded Brock Racing Enterprises (BRE), designing another set of historic, groundbreaking beauties such as the Hino Samurai, the Toyota JP6 and the Triumph TR-250K. Getting the attention of Japanese manufacturers, Nissan Japan made BRE the factory Datsun race team for the Western half of the U.S. BRE is credited for the acceptance of Japanese cars in the U.S. by winning 4 National Championships from 1969-72 with two Championships each with the BRE Datsun 240Zs and BRE Datsun 510s over the likes of Alfa, BMW, Triumph and Porsche.
UP
In 1973 Brock turned his attention to the new sport of hang gliding. He founded Ultralight Products (UP), becoming the largest hang gliding company in the world, designing the best and safest hang gliders in the possible. Brock became known for his innovation and industry leading safety standards.
Instructor / Photojournalist
By the late ’80s, Brock walked away from flight and returned to his first love: cars. Brock became an instructor at Art Center College in Pasadena, CA teaching the history of automotive design and aerodynamics. Brock soon became a highly respected author. Brock’s wife Gayle was an award-winning manager in the computer industry (e.g. Apple, Microsoft) and left her corporate executive position in 2005 to join Brock fulltime as photojournalists for the automotive industry.
