Vintage Auto Design Drawings? maybe Janne?

Does anyone out there have any scans of some old car design drawings? I've got a little project and I'm looking for some inspiration..

Something along these lines:

I think Janne's work is pretty close, but I'm also looking for something sketchier, like the old charcoal/pastel drawings. Any help is appreciated.

Something like this ?

 

Charcoal and pastel? That's really going back there.

This one I did in '86


The bubble skirt job is recent, black marker with photoshop "pastels".

Knucklehead job is drawn on vellum, black line printed from it, and actual pastels smeared with cotton pads over that.

 

No shit!! I have that hanging on my wall!!! COOL

 

Mike, those are nice. I'm not entirely sure what I'm looking for.. something old, classicly styled. What the drawings looked like when they were styling the big fin cars in the 50's maybe... I'm not sure..







yeah... not quite there

 

Okay, you mean these. Sketchy by Detroit styling studio standards, but super tight to me.

Oh yeah!! that's exactly what I'm after, thanks mike!

 

I love white-on-black renderings.
This was was by a very young Bill Mitchell when he first applied to GM to become a stylist.
It was on the cover of Automobile Quarterly, Third Quarter, 1983.

Wouldn't this knock 'em dead at Pebble Beach or Paso Robles today?

 

You can buy photos of some of the renderings and illustrations here:
