For one point: Who is the gentleman pictured, and what is his connection with the world of cars?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

White lines on the foreign postcard,
written in jest to the boy with the Vespa
Well, you don't go with the weekend doubles
You know they don't like puzzles like you
Not like you

I'm thinking that there's got to be a clue in there somewhere, but I haven't managed to work it out.

I can make an indirect connection with Jeep, though. Could this man be John North Willys?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not Willys, and the car is not a Willys nor a Jeep.

Only reply #10 was a direct clue.

The picture must have been taken in the 60's, was he involved in the design department of a major car producer?

I don't know when the picture was taken, but it could date from the 1960's. He was not part of a major manufacturers design department.

[Otto Puzzell]

A fellow named Halstead ?

No sir.

[ropat53]

Was his connection with the world of cars related to racing?
