It looks like a future Corvette sketch...kind of looks like a Don Wood drawing.

This has an AMC/Rambler feel to it.  It wouldn't be the work of Dick Teague would it, for an AMX model?

Not Teague or AMC/Rambler

OK.  Loewy then for a Studebaker Avanti proposal?

Not Loewy; not Studebaker.

I believe this is by John Samsen. I don't know for what make yet. For the 1967 Plymouth Barracuda.
