Paul Jaray · March 02, 2011, 03:32:08 PM

You think you know this car?
1 point for the builder's name
1 point for one of its owners
Enjoy!

This car is not (and was not intended to be) a replica of any kind.
The names I'm looking for are not obscure ones...

Those owners? Are they well known like Royalty?

Nothing like that.
If you search for this name (the owner) in Autopuzzles, you'll have 17 results...22 for the builder.
There can be a clue in the picture if you can see it...(It's barely visible but ...who knows...)

Paul Jaray · March 04, 2011, 04:49:21 PM

This car was featured in a trendy magazine in the 80s

jotage21 · March 09, 2011, 08:53:59 PM

Liberace?

Nope...it was a Motor Trend Magazine.

Paul Jaray · March 11, 2011, 12:51:43 PM

You all know these two names (famous owner, builder).
Is not easy to find a clue for a very known name...is like 'french metal building, very tall...'
C'mon you'll find it interesting...(well, I did...)
You won't have to look far away from the Automobile world...

jotage21 · March 11, 2011, 01:38:02 PM

Eiffel?

Paul Jaray · March 11, 2011, 01:40:43 PM

Yep, that was the example.
Any guess?

Wendax · March 11, 2011, 02:03:59 PM

Somebody who buys a neoclassic Stutz is also able to buy this one: was the owner Elvis Presley?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 02:48:06 AM

Not Elvis Presley...I don't think we named him at Autopuzzles 17 times!
This man proved, beyond any doubt, that is taste for cars is refined...(and that's a big clue)
The builder selfbuilt this car and then gave it to this friend of his.

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 04:28:17 AM

Brooks Stevens?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 04:28:56 AM

Not him...but you are on the very right track.

woodinsight · March 12, 2011, 04:42:51 AM

Raymond Loewy?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 04:59:08 AM

Not him...but it won't take long...

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 05:04:39 AM

Virgil Exner?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 05:06:29 AM

Brooks Stevens
Raymond Loewy
Virgil Exner

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 05:15:25 AM

Bruce Meyers?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 05:18:25 AM

Brooks Stevens
Raymond Loewy
Bruce Meyers
Virgil Exner

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 05:26:42 AM

Last guess for now: Curt Brubaker?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 05:31:36 AM

You are thinking too complicated...this is a name you have to know.
Curt Brubaker is not THAT known.
This man can be associated to several cars, a very strange one in particular...it's not Bill Mitchell, none of the Italian designers...

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 05:33:26 AM

Could be Franco Sbarro...
