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

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.

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

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

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.
