Richard E. Cross |
Richard E. Cross was an American industrialist who served as Chairman of American Motors Corporation (AMC). He supported the change away from the company's "economy-car" image during the mid-1960s. This involved major styling changes, as well as the addition of new convertibles and sporty models that were promoted by Roy Abernethy, AMC's president at that time. [1]
In 1966, Cross stepped down to become chairman of AMC's executive committee and devote more time to his Detroit law practice. [2]
"Cross was an urbane, hardheaded lawyer, as well as the chief executive officer at AMC making long-term decisions"[3]
