Another proposal that was not realised, as far as I know.
For one point, please respond and identify the artist and the proposed car.
One for the styling experts
Professional styling knowledge needed
Italian?
Neither car nor artist
Great Britain?
Yes on both
Bentley based?
Yes, it was supposed to be based on a Bentley.
I think you need a hint:
The artist is on the following picture.
Mike Haig?
No

I think you need a hint:
The artist is on the following picture.
... and the car behind the group is a clue finally leading to the artist.
Derry Mallalieu?
The car in the background is not a Mallalieu, it is authentic ;)
... and the hint car is a famous car with a famous first owner. The owner (also famous) at the time the picture was taken, employed the artist we are looking for. ;)
Last call before its way down the drain
Its new home will be as dark as the background of the drawing.
I missed the little clue photo before. Is the artist John Burgess (on the lower right)?
Funny how a second point sharpens the mind ;)
Yes, it is John Burgess, curator of the Briggs Cunningham museum, which owned the Duesenberg SSJ in the hint picture. Since we already had figured out that it was a proposal for a Bentley, I declare this puzzle solved. Two black points for you, Otto.
I wasn't sandbagging - really! :)
Just joking, no offense meant :)
None taken. :)
