No, nothing as realistic!
was it just a drawing that left the drawing board?

It was just a drawing; no car was made.

Not that I'm aware of, no.
It was part of a commissioned series.

Yes; you are on the right track but just haven't got there yet...
was it Robert Edwards?
could it be carl renner?
Quote from: kwgibbs on June 10, 2016, 09:14:45 AM
could it be carl renner?
No; I don't think he was employed by any of the Big Three. (But I might be wrong!)

No, they're all from the right era of course and did similar things but still not there..

Not as familiar as him but he has featured here on AP a few times..
I wonder if it is virgil exner?
Quote from: kwgibbs on June 10, 2016, 07:04:31 PM

No, he's not really as well known as him (or Harley Earl).
You'll know him though...

No. I'm not sure whether any of the designs of the subject of the puzzle ever became actual cars.

No; you've almost earned a point for effort but still not quite there...!

Quote from: kwgibbs on June 12, 2016, 06:52:46 PM

Not him either!
But all the ones you have mentioned were from the right time and were probably mates of his...!
joe oros perhaps?
jeff Teague?

jeff Teague?
Still not.
You're pretty close with all these guesses so I'm surprised you haven't hit the jackpot yet!
Maybe it's time to lock it for you now as don't want someone to jump in with the only one left after you've eliminated all the others!
sorry for my persistence,would it be frank kurtis?
Quote from: kwgibbs on June 13, 2016, 11:28:34 AM

Don't apologise! It's what the game is all about..
Not Frank Kurtis; as I said earlier, I don't think any of his drawings ever resulted in an actual car.
Im given Raymond loewy a shot,I can,t remember if any of his sketches ever took off,wished I could remember though?

Not Loewy; whether or not his sketches came to fruition a number of Loewy designs were built, which is not the case for the subject of the puzzle (I'm pretty sure I'm right..)

I believe ben kroll did a lot of car sketches that never made it?
But it's not one of his..
If you can ascertain what the sketch(es) were for it would lead you straight to the answer...
the car sketch artist that Im thinking of ,I believe starts with the letter S he did sketches very similar in style like arbib,kroll but I can,t remember his name. your right he has been featured here before? I,ll keep digging though.

You're right; his first name starts with an S...

Not him, but you've got the first 2 letters of his Christian name!
this is harder than I thought,the only other name I can find is Stanley willinsky,but I,ll keep searching?
You'll have to keep searching; it's not him!
Still locked for kwgibbs.
I did some more searching and couldn,t find any name,s that start with letter,s S-T, I did find the name Syd Mead,but the letter,s aren,t correct,I,ll continue though.

Well done :thumbsup:
thank you! I didn,t think I would ever solve this one,it was alittle more difficult than I thought.
it was known as the Dupont car of tomorrow,there were two other car sketches of similar design.

Yes!

..and Yes again!
You took a roundabout route but you've got there in the end!
The DuPont Chemicals company commissioned a series of prints of Cars of Tomorrow and this is one of them.
Well done at last!
