<VV> Ed Cole's children

[Chris & Bill Strickland]

<>I don't know if he had other children. If there isn't a biography about
Edward N. Cole, there should be. It would make a great story! - Seth Emerson

For all the automotive authors out there, it is interesting to note that 
googling for
"Ed Cole bio GM" and so on gets hits for biographies for a number of 
other notables
with ties to GM, but not Ed:
   Zora Arkus Duntov, John DeLorean, Chevrolet Corvair, Semon "Bunkie" 
Knudson,
   John Fitch, Smokey Yunick, a hundred folks that have received the 
Edward N. Cole
   Award for Automotive Engineering Innovation, etc ...

Maybe there is something in the November 1956 Motor Trend, if anyone has 
a copy ...

"Dr. David Cole is the director of the Office for the Study of 
Automotive Transportation

Transportation Research Institute, University of Michigan. Undoubtedly, 
the proximity of Ann Arbor to Detroit had more than a little to do with 
the ascendancy of OSAT to the top echelon of research organizations 
serving the auto industry. The fact that Cole--who is a knowledgeable 
automotive engineer in his own right--is the son of the late Edward N. 
Cole, who'd been president of General Motors (November 1, 1967 to 
September 30, 1974), helped propel OSAT forward." --
