what you might be seeing is only because you are zoomed in or out too far. In the bottom left corner of PS, there is a little area that displays the % you are zoomed in at. If it displays anything other than 100%, you will not get a true display of the linework.

This is not true for Illustrator or other vector software, only rasterbased sw.
It could also be an anti aliasing issue, but not likely.

To be honest, jpg is a terrible format to work in for what you want to do. I would bring in elements of your vector darwing into separate layers for complete customization.

For example, I like to bring in the undercarriage on one layer, the body on another, and interior on another... etc. You can set up layers in Illustrator to make this easier.
In CS, you can use smart objects so there is no need to export the different element in a jpg, just copy and paste right in to PS.
Upgrade PS to CS2 also, you'll love smart objects. You can still copy and paste from illustrator to PS6, but you wont get a smart object.
