There he developed a concept car for the Ford Motor Company to be shown at the Century of Progress Exhibition (1933-1934) in Chicago. Known as the "Briggs Dream Car", this was a streamlined rear-engined design, based on his previous work. Re-engineered as a front-engined car, this design was developed into the 1936 Lincoln-Zephyr.Tjaarda also designed an exhibition "Kitchen of Tomorrow" for Briggs in 1934.Tjaarda's son, Tom Tjaarda also became an automotive designer, working mainly in Italy.".
