Scrolling thru the foto s and noticed that they have some sort of jack stand under them ( well , some of them )
guessing they have nt figured out the suspension or the vehicle was a bit heavy w the clay or dunno

No suspension. Some might have a rudimentary axle (like a trailer axle) so they can roll forward and backward (no steering and no suspension). Usually a fiberglass mockup. The car in the attached photo is fiberglass. K

The other thing about paper drawings vs CAD is that the paper drawings were stored all over Southeast Michigan: some were in Pontiac, some were in the Tech Center in Warren, some were at small job shops in Northfield, Pioneer on Nine Mile, etc. If you wanted to look at something, like a layout or a part detail drawing, you first had to figure out where it was and who had it. You then had to drive all over tarnation to get it, find it in some cubby hole and unroll it to have a look. These days I can pull up the CAD from my laptop and can do it from where ever I'm sitting - even if it is at my kitchen table. K

[QUOTE=Lokin4AReason;9336574]Scrolling thru the foto s and noticed that they have some sort of jack stand under them ( well , some of them )

So if the design group was trying out different wheel bases and widths they didn't want to be restricted by a specific chassis that may be out of style later on. Here's more information on the history of the process. https://classicmotorsports.com/artic...-brock-column/ https://www.hagerty.com/media/design...tudio-curtain/ And if your really interested do a search for automotive clay modeling videos. There are hundreds of them.
