Black History Month Radio Guest -- On Auto Trends with JeffCars.com

Global car designer Andre Hudson will join Auto Trends with JeffCars.com this month in the driver's seat for a two-part inspiring interview. Hudson was the first black car designer to work for the Korean automaker, Hyundai. During his close to 20 years as a car designer, Hudson has had a number of hits along the way. One of his standout designs was the curvaceous 2011 Hyundai Sonata, which really changed consumers perception of the Korean automaker.

The 2017 Genesis G90, the latest vehicle to jump into the luxury game, was shaped and heavily influenced by Hudson's keen eye for design. Later this summer, the Genesis brand will join the ranks of such prestigious luxury brands as Lexus, Mercedes-Benz and Jaguar. Tune in for the first of our two part conversation this Saturday with this pioneer as we talk about everything from Hudson's role with the G90 to the courses every school system should offer to what inspired him to become a car designer to the impact of a great car design to what motivates him to how he wants to be remembered by his son.
