Wendax · April 08, 2011, 04:16:13 AM

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

Wendax · April 22, 2011, 03:15:01 AM

Professional styling knowledge needed

Otto Puzzell · April 22, 2011, 05:21:10 AM

Italian?

Wendax · April 22, 2011, 05:23:42 AM

Neither car nor artist

Otto Puzzell · April 22, 2011, 05:24:20 AM

Great Britain?

Wendax · April 22, 2011, 05:27:28 AM

Yes on both

João · April 26, 2011, 03:05:08 AM

Bentley based?

Wendax · April 26, 2011, 03:17:08 AM

Yes, it was supposed to be based on a Bentley.

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?

Wendax · June 05, 2011, 01:02:22 PM

The car in the background is not a Mallalieu, it is authentic

Wendax · June 24, 2011, 09:27:06 AM

... 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

Wendax · July 09, 2011, 03:35:51 PM

Its new home will be as dark as the background of the drawing.

Otto Puzzell · July 10, 2011, 03:30:54 AM

I missed the little clue photo before. Is the artist John Burgess (on the lower right)?

Wendax · July 10, 2011, 06:21:25 AM

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.

Otto Puzzell · July 10, 2011, 06:27:58 AM

I wasn't sandbagging - really!

Wendax · July 10, 2011, 06:31:40 AM

Just joking, no offense meant

Otto Puzzell · July 10, 2011, 06:50:38 AM

None taken.
