Solved - NEH 550: Jim Webb's Savage - 1956

[richard cuyler]

That's a 1956 Chrysler 300 windscreen, so Chrysler of that era  underneath?

Yes, the car quite reminds me of the Chrysler Falcon, but then I thought 'surely not'?!

Not a Spohn creation. The windshield is a not from a Chrysler car, but belongs to one of the brands of the Chrysler corporation. The windshield is not related to the base (which was a Chevrolet, see earlier reply).

I knew I knew the car but I just couldn't put my finger on the name...

But as soon as you mentioned it I knew you were right; here's why:

it was 1958 savage sport/custom car by jim webb?

A point to kwgibbs. It's the Savage by Jim Webb. Although I see that the other puzzles have it as a 1956, my sources says it was a 1958, just like kwgibbs identified it as.

And I have to say I'm quite surprised by this being a repost. I tried searching for "jim web" and "savage" when I posted it, without finding anything. Is there something I have misunderstood about the search function on this forum?

I believe the 1956 is incorrect and it is from 1958.
It depends how  you searched; if you put in "Jim Webb Savage" you'll get nothing as the heading read "Jim Webb's Savage"..  The apostrophe is everything!

Even if you put in "Jim Webb" you'll get nothing so only be putting in just "Savage" would you get a hit.  You'll get used to it!
