That's a good subject.

The concept of a Lunar Rover predated Apollo, with a 1952–1954 series in Colliers Weekly magazine by Wernher von Braun and others

In the February 1964 issue of Popular Science, Von Braun, then director of NASA's Marshall Space Flight Center (MSFC), discussed the need for a lunar surface vehicle, and revealed that studies had been underway at Marshall in conjunction with Lockheed, Bendix, Boeing, General Motors, Brown Engineering, Grumman, and Bell Aerospace.
