Concept Design for Cadillac
1944. Pencil and watercolor on drafting paper. Lower right corner of page has been skillfully replaced. Does not affect images. Handsome proposed design for a post-war Cadillac.<br/> <br/> The license plate reads "GM 1944" raising interesting questions since as everyone knows virtually no new cars were produced during the high armament production years of World War II and certainly not pretty new dark pink ones. The car portrayed here does however anticipate very much the look of early fifties' vehicles if not necessarily Cadillacs. And bright colors certainly would catch on in a way they had not before the war. Note the 1930's Cadillac emblem on the front grille which was changed when auto production actually re-commenced. unknown

This design brings the driver over the engine as in many heavier trucks giving the driver greater command of the road especially for town and city driving. The styling of the cab and cargo bed is anything but mundane with lines vents a black ribbon around the cab and two large additional brake lights that add a notes of elegance and creativity to the overall effect. "In 1956 William Moore won the General Motors Fisher Body Craftsmen' Guild National Exhibition for his car design. In 1968 he accepted a position as Head of Design for Lear in Reno Nevada.

There were also 26 copies bound in quarter leather. This magnificent book was undertaken by the press as a celebration of its tenth anniversary. It is one of the great achievements of Robinson's Cheloniidae Press one of the most respected American private presses. Founded in 1979 the press went through several incarnations during its existence. The constant throughout was the artistry of Alan James Robinson who became famed for his superlative wood engravings and etchings of animals birds the sea and more. The original text for this edition was written by Arthur F. Kinney who was then the Thomas W. Copland Professor of Literary History at the University of Massachusetts and an extensive publisher and lecturer on Shakespeare. <br /> <br /> From the prospectus: this book "focuses on popular bird and animal lore and the way Shakespeare turns it into lines of haunting and indelible beauty by describing the familiar and unfamiliar ideas about many creatures and by showing how Shakespeare used these ideas to shape character and plot in his plays.Shakespeare's imaginative use of observed detail and magical fantasies is matched by the intricate and mysterious wood engravings of Robinson."<br /> <br /> Beautifully bound by noted binders Claudia Cohen and Sarah Creighton in full rust morocco with the title stamped in gilt on the front panel within a blind rule at the outer edge of the covers raised bands and leather hinges. Illustrated with 54 wood engravings depicting the birds and beasts found in Shakespeare's plays and poems plus two portraits of the Bard: one etching and one wood engraving.

[CHRYSLER -- DODGE DESIGN CONCEPT ARCHIVE]. [REED, Stewart, et al (Designers).
An uncommon factory photo archive for the Chrysler Corp. design group and concept cars on the eve of the 1979 bailout featuring primarily designs for the 1978 & 1979 Chrysler 300 as well as the Dodge Charger a re-badged Mitsubishi Galant Lambda Chrysler Cordoba Chrysler Newport a rally car racing version of the Dodge Omni and even a very early proposed concept design for the Dodge Minivan which would transform the U.S. auto market in the 1980’s.
Los Angeles CA & Detroit MI: Chrysler Corp. ca. 1978-1980. 4to. 103 colour and black & white photographs sized 8 x 10 in. w/ nearly all featuring inventory numbers on versos many w/ concept artist’s identifying marks at lower fore-edge of images all w/ 3-hole punch at upper fore-edge. Black vinyl 3-ring binder manuscript label on spine w/ 1 sheet of manuscript tucked-into front cover entitled “Image Studies†rounded corners slight shelfwear light toning to leaf of manuscript NF exemplar. A fascinating Chrysler Corp. Design Group photo archive documenting the development of the full scale mock-ups and designs for the 1978 & 1979 Chrysler 300 Chrysler Cordoba as well as the rebadged Dodge Charger early concepts for the Dodge Minivan 5 years before introduction and the under appreciated Dodge Omni rally car. Many of the Chrysler concept car designs included here are signed by such artists as Svensen Kreiling and the famed Stewart Reed. The album opens with concept car designs for the 1979 Chrysler Cordoba 300 offering views of a concept car mock-up not only featuring a split between two different designs but also different wheels as well as views of the designs littering the walls and ceilings of the Chrysler Corp. Design Group studios. It also shows the nascent red & blue pinstriping on silver when the eventual production model featured that on a white background. Also shown are the development photos for the rebadged Dodge Challengers and Dodge Chargers basically reusing the Mitsubishi Galant Lambda as a base. Many of these Chrysler/Dodge/Plymouth Mopar concept cars are shown with a variety of artists’ renderings for Targa tops sleek modern lines and colours which unfortunately for Chrysler never made it into general production because if they had Chrysler may not have needed the 1979 bailout by the US Government. Of particular interest are the artists renderings of a 1978 Dodge Omni as a rally car and two very early concept designs for the Dodge/Chrysler minivan project led by Stewart Reed. The unsung Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon developed by Chrysler’s European Division were Chrysler’s first front-wheel compact car beating the K-Car to market by over three years and with its’ handling and popularity even received the attention of Carroll Shelby who worked to convert them into true performance race cars. The Minivan would remake the American auto market from the time of its eventual production introduction in 1984 revive the fortunes of Chrysler and spawn many competitors such as the Chevrolet Astro Ford Aerostar Toyota Previa and many others. Reed worked in Chrysler’s design group from 1971 to 1980 as part of the initial Minivan design team then Toyota’s Calty Design Research Inc. in Newport Beach CA and after 1994 operated his own design studio in Plymouth MI creating such concept vehicles as the 1998 Gear Box SUV and the 2001 Cunningham C7 Car.
