Solved -PJ383- Benjamin F Harris III's 5th car

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 05:35:29 AM

...not European...and not Harly Earl...

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 05:36:29 AM

George Barris?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 05:37:07 AM

Not him...and not Tremulis...(those are all clues...)

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 06:37:02 AM

Better-known for non-automotive industrial design?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 06:43:37 AM

Automotive! (Not Dutch Darrin or Northup...)

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 06:50:34 AM

Frank Kurtis?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 06:56:53 AM

With Barris and Kurtis you are slightly going out of the track...Stevens, Loewy, Earl, Mitchell, Exner, and this one are in the same list...

Allemano · March 12, 2011, 06:58:16 AM

Count Goertz? (he's at least half-European, though)

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 06:59:36 AM

Dick Teague?

Dick Teague?

would have been my next guess...

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 07:22:49 AM

None of the above.
I'm sure it will be your next one...I can't think at any other big name!

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 07:39:21 AM

Chuck Jordan?

Not him.
This man is closely and directly associated with some milestones in the american auto industry...you are dancing around that name!

Allemano · March 12, 2011, 07:50:37 AM

Larry Shinoda?

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 07:55:11 AM

Gordon Miller Buehrig?

Allemano · March 12, 2011, 07:57:39 AM

~~Bill Mitchell~~?

Gordon Miller Buehrig?

Yes!!!
Gordon Buerhig owned this car up until the time of his death!
Was I misleading with my clues? OK, it's always easy when you know the answer...
Now the, slightly, harder part.
Who build it?

Otto Puzzell · March 12, 2011, 08:19:09 AM

Was the builder also a designer?

Paul Jaray · March 12, 2011, 08:34:43 AM

Not a designer...but he designed and built his car....

Not Elvis Presley...I don't think we named him at Autopuzzles 17 times!

You are right, we named him 24 times.

If "17" is the Rosetta Stone, I'll say Colin Chapmann

Paul Jaray · March 19, 2011, 06:01:59 AM

Not CC.
We named him several times but in few topics...

Otto Puzzell · March 19, 2011, 09:04:26 AM

Crikey!

Was the builder named in the course of guessing the owner?

Paul Jaray · March 19, 2011, 06:11:52 PM

Nope, He was named because we have another car he built and because of his multiple activities...

Paul Jaray · March 30, 2011, 05:29:07 AM

One of us knows everything there is to know about him.
The clue not visible in the picture is the mascotte he used in the other creation he made...but also there is not visible....
