<br />
Patrick Schiavone, <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/make/ford/">Ford</a>'s design director for trucks and crossovers, is leaving The Blue Oval. In his 21 years with the company, Schiavone has penned and helped develop Fords both naughty and nice: the last two <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/ford/f-150">F-150</a>s; the <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/ford/flex">Flex</a>; <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/expedition">Expedition</a>; Cougar; Focus; Lincoln <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/tag/navigator">Navigator</a> and Blackwood; the Mighty F-350 TONKA and Ford F-150 Lightning Rod concept trucks; and the Contour show car.<br />
<br />
His inkwell is likewise responsible for the 1994 Ford <a href="http://www.autoblog.com/ford/mustang">Mustang</a>, the car that did the phoenix routine on the pony car line. It's an impressive resume, and is probably why he "received a great job opportunity outside the auto industry." His last day at the office will be sometime early next year.<br />
