Art and cars #14 - Solved! Buster Keaton and American Austin

[Ray B.]

Who is he, and what car can he be associated with?

Art and cars. Painters, writers, musicians, actors, movie makers: in a nutshell, artists. Cars of special importance in their work, or in their life.
This one, being relatively easy, will be worth just 1 point. Tougher ones will be worth 2, one for the artist, one for the car.
Rule of this puzzle is: you identify the artist, you have one week to find the car. After that, the hunt is opened and anyone can rob you of your point.

Also, please be sure to check out our other puzzles, and, please post a puzzle of your own if you'd like - the more, the merrier.

Thanks!

This guy is better known for riding trains, but he's been seen with a car too.

Buster Keaton.

I've seen one movie where he tries to repair a car...

Look on Youtube for "The Blacksmith".
( the cars in that movie are a Brass era Model T and a Pierce Arrow )

[Ray B.]

Buster Keaton, yes.
Now the car, or cars, I am after is not the one you mention. But he's been often photographed (in "real life") with a particular make.

Packard?

I read he owned one...

[Ray B.]

No Packard.

[Ray B.]

Pros, have at it!

[Allemano]

Bantam?

[Ray B.]

Bantam is fine, but what preceded it?
That's what I have ion mind (with pictures on my hard drive too).
The point is yours.

[Allemano]

American Austin Car Co.!  They first built English Austins under licence.

[Ray B.]

That's our baby! I will select a few pics and post them.

Metalshape, I am sorry, but by the hard rule applying to these puzzles (see first post), Allemano has robbed you of this point...

[metalshapes]

Thats allright...

If it was easy, everybody would be doing it.
