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.
One point 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 second point.

If you haven't registered yet, you need to do so in order to reply with your answer.
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!

Carroll Shelby?

Ray B. · « **Reply #2 on:** January 21, 2009, 01:45:11 PM »

Did he paint or sang (outside of the bathroom), acted, wrote poems, novels...?

Generation of the 1890s?
American?
Ernest Hemingway?
If so, the Bugatti in Garden of Eden?
Let's have a "yes" for the first line, at least!

I think te "Erbas rule" applies here. So I'll answer only one question. You're a lucky man: I've decided to answer your second question, and the answer is YES.

Doubly lucky, since I haven't the foggiest what the Erbas Rule might be. Fascinating chairs, though.

You could always search the forum. I'll spare you this though: The Erbas rule states that there's only one guess per post allowed. Therefore you can't for example ask for the country, make and year at once. Or name 5 companies and ask if any of them is correct.

This rule was named in memory of this thread: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=2420.0

Much obliged

Ludwig van Bethoven?

Ray B. · « **Reply #10 on:** January 24, 2009, 04:37:17 PM »

In what year do you think Ludwig was born, Arunas?
Or do you believe that photography was invented in the 18th century?

Damned clever, those 18th century Germans

Fascinating chairs, though.

The chairs may roughly give an indication of where this man was born.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** January 25, 2009, 08:52:06 AM »

Is that John Ford?

Ray B. · « **Reply #14 on:** January 25, 2009, 12:22:28 PM »

John Ford was born in Cape Elizabeth, Maine, in 1894.
This is not John Ford.
So this answers max's first question: he is not of the generation of the 1890's.
And he is an American.

Allow me to notice that you've already made it almost one and a half year ago

Ray B. · « **Reply #17 on:** January 27, 2009, 04:05:03 AM »

Time to move this one up.

Ray B. · « **Reply #18 on:** February 11, 2009, 12:37:08 PM »

All right, this one seems tough.
Upgraded to 2 points. And a clue, an answer to one of max's question:
He's not Ernest Hemingway, but there is a double connection between him and Hemingway.

Ray B. · « **Reply #19 on:** February 27, 2009, 04:28:09 PM »

One clue isn't enough?

They also were close friends.

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #20 on:** February 27, 2009, 06:26:16 PM »

Maybe Waldo Peirce?

Ray B. · « **Reply #21 on:** February 28, 2009, 04:12:46 AM »

Not Waldo Peirce.
Remeber that when I speak of art, I mean all the arts, not especially painting.

F. Scott Fitzgerald?

Maybe those chairs only speak to me but... they don't fit with Scott Fizgerald.

ImpishGrin · « **Reply #24 on:** February 28, 2009, 04:56:56 AM »

I have no idea what you mean with the chairs

Apart from the fact that they look native american (is it the correct politically correct term for red indians?) to me. But the guy doesn't look like one.
