To earn your point, provide the name of this vehicle, and who built it.  If you provide more information than I already possess, you might earn a second point.

Not built by Jay Ohrberg.

Like your last two suggestions, the last name of the builder contains an "H".

LOCKED for oko94!

Yes, this is a Ray Farhner car.  To earn your point, provide the name of this car, which is the only other piece of information I have found on it.

I've browsed a huge amount of web pages related to Ray Farhner and I can't find a trace of this vehicle. Is the solution available online ?
Title: Re: WTH # 478
Post by: sixtee5cuda on April 01, 2016, 01:48:39 PM
I found the puzzle image online.  At the top of the image was the name of the car.  I do not know of a web page which contains both the name Farhner, and the name of the car in text form.

We may just be reduced to guessing the number of letters, and spelling the name one character at a time.

It is a nice looking car.  Too bad that no information about it survived the 60's.  Given the proportions of the car, it was either rear-engined, or didn't have an engine.

Is the name of the car only one word ?
Title: Re: WTH # 478
Post by: sixtee5cuda on April 07, 2016, 07:36:52 PM
If you count "The", the name of the car is 2 words.  Otherwise, it is a single word.

The Alien ?
Title: Re: WTH # 478
Post by: sixtee5cuda on April 08, 2016, 03:56:21 PM
Not The Alien.

The first letter is a vowel, but it is not "A"  (So we shall proceed with taking the word apart, one letter at a time.)    :)

Post by: oko94 on April 11, 2016, 12:45:32 PM

Post by: sixtee5cuda on April 15, 2016, 11:54:36 AM
One point awarded to oko94 for finding the name of this unique car, The Infinity.

i suspect it wasn't possible to enter the passenger dome, without sliding the whole center section forward.

Here is the original image:
