alex tremulis sports car concept?
Yes, it's by Alex Tremulis.
So I'll lock it for you now to identify it.
Is it the, Tucker-Tremulis-Neidlinger-Kaiser-Frazer, 1951?

Nothing to do with Kaiser-Frazer at all AFAIK!

Actually I misled you a bit as this is in fact what it is.
It did later morph into a Kaiser-Frazer so I was also wrong when I said it had nothing to do with them, although it didn't start out as a Kaiser-Frazer.
So all I need to know now for the point is who/what was it a Sports Car Concept for?
Still locked for kwgibbs!
was the design to be for the XK-120 Jaguar?

No! For whom did Alex Tremulis do some work before being employed by Kaiser-Frazer?
Long shot: Tucker Talisman, which probably was not designed by Tremulis
I think we're still locked for kwgibbs?
QuoteIs it the, Tucker-Tremulis-Neidlinger-Kaiser-Frazer, 1951?
We got an unequivocal "NO" to this guess, although at least two web sites identify the exact quiz photo as exactly that. Still looking for an alternate name, nothing so far.
Didn,t Alex Tremulis work for a design firm-Tammen&Denison, before Tucker?
Well it's actually Tucker I was looking for; you hadn't mentioned the name previously on its own!
I've seen those threads about the Tucker-Tremulis-Neidlinger-Kaiser-Frazer as well but I believe that covers a whole series of cars (which this one may indeed have ultimately joined) but as far as I understand it Tremulis designed this, his Concept Sports Car, whilst still doing work for Tucker and only resurrected the same thing later when he started working for Kaiser-Frazer. If I'm wrong I'm sure someone more knowledgeable than I will correct me; I'm not a big expert on these designs.
I see what you mean now,he certainly designed a good many cars,thank you for the point!
Good job.
Yup it was first done as a Tucker sports car that would have eventually competed with the Jaguar XK120. Then Tremulis and Neidlinger teamed up to sell it as a custom-built sports car, then he reworked the model to the photo seen in the puzzle for Kaiser-Frazer.
