AutoPuzzles - The Internet's Museum of Rare Cars!

No cars pictured in this puzzle. The following is a grouping of products designed by individuals or design houses that also designed automobiles. To score points, you must identify three things related about each picture: the product pictured, the designer of design house the penned it, and at least one automobile penned by the same designer or design house.  Identifying just the designer, the product,  just a car, or two of the three components required, will net you zero points. If you correctly ID all three, you'll get a point for each, plus a bonus point.

6 Pictures, 4 points available each.

PS - please excuse my sometimes messy attempts to obscure the products' names.

Enjoy! :)

I don't have any answers yet, and this is often said but I'll say it again:
Great puzzle!

Thank you, Ray.

Great one indeed, and that's a problem for me...too great...
pic #1 doesn't show, there is "this image or video has been moved or deleted"
pic #6 is my telephone the Sirio , designed for Telecom Italia by Giugiaro Design, (do I really have to post at least one of his car?) father of: audi80-renault19-seat ibiza-delorean dmc12-lotus esprit-volkswagen golf-saab9000...........................................................................
pic #5 (I see only a part of the pic) seems the inside of the Pendolino (but could be another one of the ETR family) designed by Pininfarina for TREVI (TREno Veloce Italiano). Pininfarina designed also.... hummm, oh yes the Ferrari F40.

No. 2 is the Steinway Peace Piano, a modern copy of the piano designed by Walter Dorwin Teague.
Teague designed bodies for Marmon, notably the 16

Allan, you've beaten me on that one while I was out for lunch !

Fixed (I hope)

Correct!

#4 is the Ansco Anscoflex II camera (1954) designed by Raymond Loewy who also created the Studebaker Avanti, the aweful  Lancia Loraymo (Flaminia based) and the BMW 507 — in the strange Loewy version!  :yuck:

About #5,
a) It's not a train;
b) It's not Pininfarina;
c) It's not that Pininfarina's train;
d) It's up to me to find out?

Correct.

When I found this picture, I knew immediately what I was looking at, though not the exact manufacturer or designation of this configuration.

FWIW, I've traveled only on vintage railroad equipment, but fly quite often... 8)

Is #5 a DC-8 cabin?

No, but you are headed the right direction.

Oh, so it's a plane then.

;D

Yes! Not a train.

A plane, not a train, the rain in Spain falls mainly in the plains.
I thought it was obvious.

Quite plane.

Air plane.

Great plane.

Simple plane, or was it plain?

707 (although what I see is not quite like it, but I know nothing about airplanes cabin arrangment) ?
... Or rather a Connie or DC6 that has been refurbished ?

Connie?

Too small for a 707 - could be a Convair 880/990, or a DC-9 series

Quote from: Otto Puzzell on October 26, 2008, 06:46:21 AM
Connie?

A familiar nickname for the Lockheed Constellation or Super Constellation. Sorry, the way you talked about planes, I believed you knew it.

Oh, I did. I just wanted make sure you weren't using it as a nickname for the type of plane that Allan identified.

I've got it: this is the cabin of a TWA Convair 880 (thanks Allan) designed by Dorothy Draper, who also designed interiors for Chrysler and Packard, like this 1952 model.
I had recognized the TWA by the seats material design. It confused me and led me first to designer Alfons Bach, who never did a car, apparently.

That's not the designer my source credits.

Draper ? Dammit! I was really sure.
O.K., it's Harley Earl, no less, who did... the 1927 LaSalle for instance.

But it seems they worked together on this (source: Oxford Journals/Journal off Design History): "Dorothy Draper designed interiors for General Dynamics' Convair 880, in 1958 which were developed by Harley Earl, Inc. See Varney, op. cit., pp. 183–7"
Another source, at the time the plane was developped):

That's the ticket! (airline joke)  :D

I was kidding.

Well, not about it being a plane.

I mean, I knew it was a plane, I was just... oh, bugger.

I've got another one. Pure luck, because this is TOUGH. I was searching for picture N°3, googling "Philco", and I found PICTURE N°1. It took me some time but here it is:
#1 is a 1931 Philco radio-timer, design attributed to Norman Bel Geddes, who just happened to drop by at Philco's for a short period (same as Alexis de Sakhnoffsky).
Bel Geddes, although a very important designer and visionary, had little to do with cars, excepts for a few concepts (see below) and the design of the Futurama pavilion for GM at the 1939 World Fair. He id said to have helped a bit for the design of the Chrysler Airflow, and to have designed, in 1946, a new grille for the postwar Nash. I suppose this means the 1949-50 bathtub model, because the 1946-48 grille was a carryover from 1942.

Well-done!

Only #3 remains...

#3 is a Coronado radio designed by Brooks Stevens for Gamble-Skogmo. Stevens designed a lot of cars, for instance the Wienermobile, the Jeepster and almost all the postwar Jeep station wagons, the Valkyrie, some Packard and Studebakers, the AMC Gremlin, etc.

Congratulations Ray B.!
I saw countless Coronado radios on my search. Had a certain feeling that it's probably one ot these, but for some reason I've ignored to search via flickr!! (I've found the Loewy camera on flickr!)  :'(

I'll go along with most of that, but the AMC Gremlin? No sir. That was a Dixie Duvall design.  ;)

Well, I didn't search by flickr. I spent a lot of times on google image searching for this one with sophisticated tag words and simply found it by typing "radio" design" and the choice of any year between 1950 and 1959. It was maybe in the fourth page.

I guessed so but I just copied the information I found on the IDSA, which should be authoritative. But you know how it is for designers (see Loewy). It's never a solo job, and you always find one taking credit for another guy's work.
"Authoritative"? Does this word simply exist? "Solo job"? Does anyone say that? Sometimes I wonder if the English I write can be understood outside of New Guinea...

The same page indicates no cars were built in Brazil until he "designed" the Aero Willys 2600. :)

Well done, lads. Here's the points tally:

I...ahem... wouldn't want to sound greedy, but didn't you day in your first post that each picture was worth 4 points if all the questions were answered correctly?

Indeed I did. My memory continues to deteriorate.

I'll re-tally.

Don't worry. For some reason I think he forgot this one.

Sorry guys - a lot on my mind. I'll try to get to it soon.  :)

Take the time you need. I've a much better understanding now!  :-\

OK, then. As the airplane interior questions was a joint effort, the full 24 points could not be awarded. The corrected totals are as follows:
