The Business Week article was illustrated by a photo of the new Forward Control FC150 truck, which had been released earlier in that same week in 1956. Stevens had been responsible for the earlier truck and station wagon designs, as well as the 1948 Jeepster. He was an innovator par excellence, but also knew how to make his designs attractive to a corporation by making maximum use of existing components, perhaps unlike the bold designs of Howard Darrin. But he must have had a few moments of regret as he gave up on the Darrin 161, the last of the Kaiser automobiles. Thanks to Dave Hatch for the photos, and Reed Cary for finding the Business Week article.
