When he gets bigger, he'll be riding in style.
For 1 point, identify this lad, and the car with which he would later be famously connected.
Be sure to answer all parts of the question, if you'd like the point.
Only complete answers will earn a point
I believe this one is impervious to Google's image matching, but if you take that easy way to the answer, please be honest and tell us so.

Maybe an Expert has a guess?
John F. Kennedy and Lincoln Continental?
Is it Craig Breedlove and maybe his Ferrari Lusso?

Not him. This youngster had already achieved a kind of fame before he was old enough for kindergarten. But he's be paired with the car that's the co-subject of this puzzle when an adult.
Archie Scott Brown and the Lister

Archie Scott Brown and the Lister
Our puzzle subject
isn't connected with a competition car.
Johnny Whitaker?
I guess there is a bit of resemblance, but not him.
All right. But I don't understand how I could reply in the Expert Board.
There is a beginning of an explanation here http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=1682.0
Still, between pros and feature writers, all this is not very clear, especially since I don't really understand what I am: a pro? A feature writer? Both?
I'll save my next guess until this one is upgraded for the pros I suppose.
Ricardo Montalban and the Chrysler Cordoba ("I love what they've doen to my car")

I hadn't noticed your gaffe. The vagaries of the mechanics of this board allow pros to post as rookies and experts, but don't allow experts to post as rookies. Unless they are feature writers. :P

What profession did he ply as a youngster?
Not him.
Frankie Darro? "Born into a show-business family - his parents were circus aerialists - Frankie Darro appeared in his first film at age six."
If it's him, the car would be (let me just find an images) Robbie the Robot's in Forbidden planet, since he "played" Robbie.
hmmm...
I guess I better move this to the Pro section.
Not Master Darro. This lad's work started at an earlier age.
That's what I guessed from your line about kindergarten.
So, a baby actor?
Baby Leroy for instance?

Not a baby actor. But his early work was usually done for the entertainment of paying customers.

I own copies of two of Robbie's movies early -
Forbidden Planet and
The Invisible Boy. The former is one of my top-10 favorite films, my my all-time favorite screen adaptation of a Shakespeare story. I also have a couple of movie posters from the film, and a miniature Robby toy.
:) I think that I have made a very serious fan of Shakespeare come out of the woods. I had no idea of the shakesperean relationship of Forbidden Planet, but I quickly thought of The Tempest when I read you.
Very interesting. I have to discuss this with my wife, the most dedicated Shakespeare lover in the house.
That you had a thing with this film and Robbie I maybe guessed before.
Richard Teague?
Sticking to show business in his younger age: circus performer?

No sir.
Mickey Rooney?
Ford Model A Roadster 1931 ?
No, not Mr. Rooney
Was he Canadian?
Would this be James Dean as a kid, later obviously associated with Porsche in general, and the 550 Spyder he died in in particular?
Nope. This lad's still around.
Did he won a title like "Most beautiful baby of whatever"?

Given the puzzle picture, I'd say that's a stretch! :D
No, he earned his early accolades. And his later accolades, as well - though his work was not to everyone's tastes
Well, in the puzzle picture he may have had just his finger nipped by a crab, which may account for his expression.
Ummm... How about Christo and his Post-It Note car?

Or, perhaps, a cat. Cats don't like water

Not born in Europe
Uh oh! This one is sliding toward the black hole. Who can stop it??!!
Here's a clue, in fact there's two - in the form of a nun, and an armed bandit, too.
If you know who they are, you can follow their trail, the crux of this conundrum will soon be unveiled.
Jerry Lewis?
Neither the puzzle boy nor the clues pics are Mr. Lewis
Frank Gorshin, then?
so the car could be the 1927 Model T roadster from Dragstrip Girl.
But, given some of your recent puzzles, I suppose that the car is the Batmobile, ex-Lincoln Futura, which, as The Riddler, he steals in Return to the Batcave.
EDIT: And then, I could be wrong, first because he's still alive, second because I see no trace of any celebrity before kindergarten.
But he did play a one eyed nun.

Frank was the clue; he's not the puzzle subject. He was earning money performing before he graduated high school, he was not doing so before kindergarten.
Batmobile is correct however. Still need the puzzle boy's ID
Since Ray identified Gorshin, an extra point is reserved for him if he can identify the film from which the clue pics were taken.
The film should be Record City, but I still have to recognize that kid...
...and I guess it's Burt Ward, who was a professional ice skater at age 2.
Complete.
Burt was not in Record City (point for that too, by the way), but his ofttimes co-star Gorshin was.
