Found this article on lunch, I've included the pictures and a link to the article. Not a ton of information, I'd like to see the rest of those drawings.

Wow. Cool. Full envelope bodies and deco/dieselpunk trim styling.

Love that second vacuum-cleaner grille. 

Yeah, I'd like to see more too.

Reminds me of a show I went to (a long time ago, I see now) https://portlandartmuseum.org/event/the-shape-of-speed/

The Thirties introduced this type of styling...

Love it ever since I first saw Cords as a kid.

You have to admire those conceptual artists from back in the day.

Their artwork is becoming very collectable.

No problem guys, I figured they may stir up some ideas for a few people.  Sometimes the concept drawing looks better than the actual vehicle.

The second one has quite a "Jet Age" look for being years before jets were out there!  Second one does show signs of the hood design of the future Chevys (bonnet for you trans Atlantic boys).
