Ross Cousins was born in Toronto March 25, 1916. His father was a commercial artist who came to Detroit because of opportunities related to the auto industry. After graduating from Cass Technical High School, Cousins acquired his first job with Evans, Winter & Hebb, printers of auto literature. Through some free-lance work he was later employed by Chrysler Export. After World War II, he returned to commercial art and to toy and model design. Cousins designed model space sets used in the movie "Star Wars." (Adapted from Automotive Design Drawing Collection finding aid.)
