I see by the dates on these, I uploaded them almost two years ago, with the intention of creating this thread. √ It's a $50 book, so I got it through inter-library loan.
The scanner hadn't stopped working at all yet, so the scans are bad. Here're some drawings:
The whole point of getting it, was to learn about Le Corbusier's car compared to Porsche's VW Beetle:
Here they are superimposed. Coincidence, or the heavy hand of Count Ferdinand von Zepplin? In typical prima dona architect style, as a slave to geometry, he created a Beetle sized car that only carried three passengers. ???
Note the book included one modern 3D model of the car. I'm kinda in favor of G. Broulhiet.

Some of these sketches are actually quite interesting. BTW that chassis sketch with 2 driven front wheels and a single directional rear wheel reminds me of forklifts which usually have rear-wheel steering...
Corbu's problem was that architects of the era (over-)thought in terms of plan and elevation. He laid out the elevation like a Gothic cathedral.
Those sharp edges would look right at home on Vortex Street.
