Sure looks like one, but no.

Holland Coachcraft on a ? chassis?

Otto Puzzell · December 01, 2011, 03:43:56 AM

This was a scale model. I don't believe a full-size example was ever made.

Otto Puzzell · December 16, 2011, 08:21:25 AM

Well-known designer and client

Wendax · December 16, 2011, 09:54:15 AM

Raymond Loewy for Greyhound?

Otto Puzzell · December 16, 2011, 10:08:03 AM

Not Raymond, but of a similar ilk.

The customer was not in the passenger transportation business.

Wendax · December 16, 2011, 10:13:19 AM

Brooks Stevens?

Otto Puzzell · December 16, 2011, 10:18:33 AM

Not him

Otto Puzzell · December 23, 2011, 04:45:27 AM

The list of possibilities grows shorter.

Harley Earl?

Wendax · December 23, 2011, 05:15:38 AM

Bill Mitchell?

Otto Puzzell · December 23, 2011, 05:18:25 AM

Not Mitchell, nor Earl.

Like Loewy and some of the others mentioned, motor vehicles were but a part of this designers portfolio.

Allemano · December 23, 2011, 05:21:16 AM

Let's change the direction: Louis Lucien Lepoix?
