Richard A. (Dick) Teague (December 23, 1923 – May 5, 1991), born in Los Angeles, California, was an industrial designer in the North American automotive industry. He held automotive design positions at General Motors, Packard, and Chrysler before becoming Vice President of Design for American Motors Corporation (AMC), and designed several notable show cars and production vehicles including AMC's Pacer, Gremlin and Hornet models, as well as the Jeep Cherokee XJ and even had a hand in designing/assisted in the designing of later cars for Chrysler after American Motor's buyout such as the Jeep Grand Cherokee and Neon.
==Early life==
Teague's mother worked in the motion picture industry during the silent movie era. At five years of age Teague appeared in five episodes of ''Our Gang'', playing the role of Dixie Duval, a girl. When he was six, he was seriously injured in a car accident near Pasadena, California, which was caused by a drunk driver. He lost several teeth, suffered a broken jaw, as well as sight in his right eye leaving him unable to perceive depth, while his mother was left an invalid.〔 A year later his father was killed in another automobile crash that was also caused by a drunk driver.
While attending grade school in Los Angeles during the 1930s, Teague built model airplanes before turning to hot rods, since his schoolmates included Ed Iskendarian (who became a drag racer), and land speed racer Stuart Hilborn, as well as other car enthusiasts.〔 He participated in time trials on a dry lake northeast of Los Angeles and was fond of saying that he "had a little gasoline in his blood."〔
Teague was exempt from service in the armed forces during World War II because of his visual impairment,〔 After graduating from Susan Miller Dorsey High School in 1942, he worked as an aircraft technical illustrator for Northrop Corporation.〔 His boss was Paul Browne, a former designer at General Motors, and he suggested that Teague take night classes at the Art Center College of Design.
