One artist, and one car...

Tell me who the artist is and what car he's associated with for a point!

OK, no activity on this one... time to move to Experts.

Is that Dana Andrews?

The movie I most remember of his was "Hot Rods to Hell" in which he drove a '61 Plymouth Belvedere four door while being harassed by degenerate hot rodders!  Is that the car?

Glad to see some activity on this, but... nope.

A couple of hints:

(1) The nature of his art is such that you wouldn't know his face from it.
(2) The association between artist & car is very close -- you wouldn't associate another man with the car, or another car with the man.

In the movies, somewhere behind the camera?

Nope. Think closer to the more specific sense of "artist."

I don't think there is a specific sense in the meaning it would define a specialty. In my country, at least, the most commonly (and wrongly) understanding is "pop singer". Nevertheless, I think that you may mean "painter".
So, if a painter, let's start "around the world in 80 days": British?

Yes, you're right about the direction I was trying to go in with that. It's not "painter" but that's closer than anything else guessed so far. And not British.

Not sculptor.

Not known as a car designer (except in the case of the one car that this puzzle is concerned with).

Nope. Think a little less "seriously."

I hope you don't mean something like magician or illusionist. That would be a little far fetched.

No, I don't. I'm sticking with basic, 2-D visual art.

He might look like a young Theodor Seuss Geisel, Dr. Seuss, without a beard. In which case the car would be this fire truck.

Very interesting guess, but not correct.

Another hint: In the spirit of most of my "Name That Make" puzzles, this involves a somewhat-obscure make of car, rather than, say, a weird custom one-off or a specimen of some well-known brand (i.e., this isn't "so-and-so and his customized psychedelic 1964 Austin Mini").
