In 1938, he joined [[Raymond Loewy]]'s industrial design firm Loewy and Associates, where he worked on [[World War II]] military vehicles and cars, notably Studebaker's 1939–40 models, and advance plans for their revolutionary post-war cars.<ref name="bourker">{{cite journal|title=The Starlight and the Starliner: Some recollections of a designer|last=Bourke|first=Robert E.|journal=Automobile Quarterly |pages=266–273|volume=X|issue=3|year=1972}}</ref> "But working on Studebaker designs… Exner struggled to get the attention of his boss, who had to sign off on every facet of the designs. Exner was encouraged by Roy Cole, Studebaker's engineering vice president, to work on his own at home on backup designs in case the company's touchy relationship with Loewy blew up".<ref name="garrett"/>
