We all know that Stevens designed the "62 GT Hawk....and many have said over the years that the roof looks like one on a "T" Bird........but Brooks also designed or freshened up another foreign car .........and that car has a roof that is almost identical to that of the GT.....albeit stretched for a four door..........name that car and win a New Years prize that you will find interesting:-)

I am not seeing it, this is a Similar but DIFFERENT Car, but it Does have a GT Roof!.
This one looks like the Premium, Luxury, top of the Line Model Aero.

I don't think Kaiser Jeep Corp. wanted to be back in the passenger car market in the US after that unsuccessful move; not to mention, another Brooks Stevens design of their's was starting to sell in decent numbers right after its introduction in 1963, the Wagoneer.

Nice early-mid '60s in 3/4 rear view. But the clunky early '50s front certainly could have benefited from further refinement, ala Lark type.
Too bad Kaiser didn't import a few hundred as companions to the Wagoneer, looks like they could have been a cute and interesting compact alternative. Definitely not as weird as some of the Borgward and Roots Group products that landed here.

Actually, I could really dig the Borgward Isabella coupe.
Is it me or is that Brazilian Willys just frumpy enough to kinda sorta accidentally look a little bit "Soviet"?1963 Champ "Stu Bludebaker"- sometimes driver
1957 Silver Hawk "Josie"- picking up the pieces after an unreliable body man let it rot for 11 years from an almost driver to a basket case
1951 Land Cruiser "Bunnie Ketcher" only 47M miles!
1951 Commander Starlight "Dale"- basket case
1947 Champion "Sally"- basket case
1941 Commander Land Cruiser "Ursula"- basket case
