Rod Williams at Maine Classic Car Museum



From Ray Routhier's piece in the Portland Press Herald on Biddeford, Maine artist Rod Williams who worked in Detroit in the 1950s..."when cars were works of art. Which was a good thing for Williams, of Biddeford, since he’s an artist. It was his job to take concepts and ideas from designers and translate them into color illustrations of what the new models might look like....“Rod Williams Retrospective: A Maine Son in Detroit,” opens Saturday at the Maine Classic Car Museum in Arundel and will be up until the end of the year.

The Plymouth project (above) has almost the front end of a1968 Chrysler.

The blue wagon's a projected Park Lane, a Mercury wagon that never made it into production. The DeSoto (below) never quite happened either..
