Brooks Stevens Concept Drawings and Model

Patrick found this great series of pages hosted by the Milwaukee Art Museum. The site contains over 160 Brooks Stevens drawings and models. Wagon, FCs, DJs, and Wagoneers are included. Start here to see all of the concept photos and drawings.

Patrick put together this animated GIF which shows the different noses Brooks considered.

This is an August 1946 Jeepster concept:

These DJ concepts are always interesting:

You'll notice that there is a disclaimer at the bottom of the page that states "This information is subject to change as the result of ongoing research." Some of the Brook Stevens sketches dated 1960 were kaiser concepts from before they bought Willys.
