[FSJ-Earl]

On the PA Jeep club web site trivia forum -

Who designed the styling on the wagoneer? What other Jeep vehicles did the group design?

Can anybody help me? THANKS!

It was 1 man actually. Brooks Stevens.

He designed the Willys rural, willys wagon, a few one offs, I beleive the FC's and his company did the 84+ cherokees also.
From the best of my memory.

He also did some trains and appliances and I thnik some busses, all pretty neat stuff.

Here is the link to his work

Didn't he design the Oscar Myer truck too?

[FSJ Guy]

Yup. I was just about to post that. He designed the Oscar Meyer Weiner-mobile. (The first ones, I guess. They've made several)

The weiner-mobile stopped the camera shop where I used to work (many years ago) and we all took pictures (of course) and got stuff. They have rear view video cameras, since it's impossible otherwise to see out the back!

The company is still in business. http://www.brooksstevens.com/

The Wagoneer is shown on their History page.
