Title: Art and cars #32 - Coby Whitmore and the Fitch-Whitmore Le Mans Special

Who is he, and what car can he be associated with?
(sorry I couldn't find a better picture)
Art and cars. Painters, writers, musicians, actors, movie makers: in a nutshell, artists. Cars of special importance in their work, or in their life.

Rule is: you identify the artist, you have one week to find the car. After that, the hunt is opened and anyone can rob you of your point.
Thanks!

As this is a hard one, I make it a two-point puzzle.
Two clues:
Recently, several artists of the same kind have been identified.
This man, and the car we're looking for, were associated with a man you can find in another of my recent puzzles.

Now, let's move it to the true pros' board.

Clue time.

While an illustrator and not a car designer, this man designed for a friend a car who has been the subject of a solved puzzle.
The other car we're looking for was also featured in a solved puzzle.

You did it!
Were my clues too obvious or did you need a little brainstorming?

Here is another picture of Coby Whitmore at the wheel of the car. He should have kept the mustache and watched his weight, if you ask me. But a great artist anyway.
Then, another picture of the car (and a period pic), who has been the subject of another puzzle (and not pointed as a repost).

It sure was, and I think I knew it when I posted this one 6 months after.
