A top automotive communications executive has passed away unexpectedly. Tom Kowaleski, who had been a key PR and comms guy for Chrysler, General Motors, BMW and Lincoln, died Tuesday at the age of 63. He was one of the brains behind some famous auto show press conferences, and had a flair for the theatrical at big events, perhaps the most famous being at a '90s Detroit Auto Show at which he staged a stunt involving a Jeep careening through one of Cobo Hall’s plate glass windows.
