Experts?

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

Otto Puzzell · January 28, 2011, 01:08:26 PM

No on both points

Herb Adams 'Vivant'...pre production artist rendering. $:-\$

Otto Puzzell · February 03, 2011, 01:41:09 PM

Not familiar with that one...

Pro time

Is this a GM drawing?

No

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

Otto Puzzell · February 04, 2011, 11:12:18 AM

Not Teague or AMC/Rambler

Djetset · February 04, 2011, 11:16:10 AM

OK. Loewy then for a Studebaker Avanti proposal?

Otto Puzzell · February 04, 2011, 11:18:56 AM

Not Loewy; not Studebaker.

A Michelotti sketch for an Hino Contessa Coupé?

Otto Puzzell · February 06, 2011, 05:00:03 AM

Neither Michelotti nor Hino

SeaLion · February 06, 2011, 06:09:34 AM

US-american?

Otto Puzzell · February 06, 2011, 06:15:18 AM

Yes!

Ford sketch for a Thunderbird perhaps, or a Mercury Cougar?

Otto Puzzell · February 06, 2011, 08:16:53 AM

Not a Thunderbird or Cougar

SeaLion · February 06, 2011, 10:23:48 AM

But a Ford?

Otto Puzzell · February 06, 2011, 12:12:34 PM

Not a Ford or Mercury

SeaLion · February 06, 2011, 01:09:12 PM

Virgil Exner sketch for Plymouth Valiant perhaps?

Ray B. · February 06, 2011, 01:25:05 PM

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

Otto Puzzell · February 07, 2011, 04:23:18 AM

Bingo!
