I don't believe he did anything like that. He is remarkable only for having his picture taken while seated in the car, as far as far as I know.

Perhaps the race car behind might be a lead to follow.

Perhaps I should turn off the faucet of clues for today.

Not Herbert. I don't think the young Mr Kohler in the picture is famous.

 :sigh: Another clue...

The race car in the back was built by a gentleman who shares his name with a baseball prospect who has played for three different teams that have bird mascots.

Rodriguez?
Title: Re: "Car" and "Driver" Puzzle #1997
Post by: Otto Puzzell on December 14, 2011, 04:05:22 AM
Not Isturiz nor Rodriguez

The ballplayer - who shares his name with the builder of the race car behind the puzzle car, has an alliterative name (first name and surname).

Running trough the list of baseball players named Rodriguez could take us years, so it's a good thing it's not that one.  ;)
