You Rookies call yourselves AutoPuzzlers?!

Norm James in a styling buck for one of GM's Motorama Firebirds?

Otto Puzzell · September 04, 2010, 04:00:10 AM

No, not him. And not that car.

HaHA! You fell for my fiendish plan of process of elimination by uninformed guessing. Now I've narrowed it down to the remaining 11,938,566,212 people who have ever lived during the existence of the necktie, and likewise to the 42,712 cars which reached the design phase during the age of photography!

An admirable estimation of the remaining task.

This designer is more well-know than Norm James, in my opinion.

And now, a speedy Pro solution!

That´s a little bit tricky. I´ve found this photo in May 2009, described as "Porsche_15" at some website.

But as I´m quite sure it is not a 904 GTS or anything alike, I think it must be some GM concept car, maybe a pre-presentation version of the Corvair Monza GT.
And - as I hope I am not totally wrong, a photographer named "Madler" was active for GM in those days...

The man might be Norman J.James.

Not him, but you are much closer

Anatole Lapine and Larry Shinoda ??

Are replying to Grob's picture, or the puzzle question?

Allemano · September 22, 2010, 01:20:10 PM

Aaaargh! Didn't notice that it entered the Professionals:

Caption from Car Styling: "A happy Shinoda and Lapine in the seating buck." (of a Corvair Monza GT)

That's it! Props to Grob and Max for pointing out parts of the answer.

Point for you for answering the stated puzzle question.
