Even though Glenn Dorshimer now lives near Chapel Hill, N.C., the Lansing native returned to the area to paint murals of classic American cars on the exterior walls of the R.E. Olds Transportation Museum.

"I want to change the perception of import buyers by painting these murals. I want to change the way people think about the United Auto Workers (union)," Dorshimer said. "People understand what (GM and the UAW) are about here, but in North Carolina, import buyers still think American cars are inferior," he said.
Dorshimer earned a degree in design, then returned to GM and designed car seats for five years. He left in 1992. Now 48, Dorshimer wished he'd followed his earlier inclination and gone to work at a factory.
"That's where I'd like to be," he said. "I'd like to do that or design cars."
