For one point, specify the year, make, and designer of this curvy auto.

Up! After a short visit with the rookie(s), this one is ready for the experts.

is it a colani drawing from the late fifties?

1970 AM (Alfredo Momo)

One point awarded to DeAutogids for the complete answer. (Not sure if I should have finished the puzzle. It was either designed or built by Frua.)

I don't know if the car was ever built, or if any other pictures/drawings exist.

It looks a lot like a 1970's Camaro.

My modified image:

This is the image I was working from. The prospectus/brochure cover is probably the source of every available image of this car.

That's how I found it!

The Momo Mirage was designed by Frua, but is there some proof that this car was also a Frua design?

Allemano · April 07, 2013, 04:08:38 AM

There's still a question mark even on Dierkes' website.

Since I'm looking for clues on puzzle cars this one always remained a mystery. The overall shape of the body doesn't speak Frua I think.

To me the overall shape screams "Bill Mitchell" of GM, but I doubt he was involved.
