Looks like a RIVA-boat inspired 1950´s design (model car) contestant.

I'm not sure if the car was boat-inspired, but it is a model...

Any connection with the Thunderbird?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #4 on:** August 07, 2008, 01:54:27 PM »

To my knowledge, no.

As mentioned earlier, this none-too-heavily gilded model is not from a builder of water crafts, man.

The previous post was a thinly veiled pun / clue.

Then why not NASA? If not water crafts, it could be space crafts...

No points for you.

C'mon, lads!

Anything to do with Barris? Like that Mercury Comet Escapade thing?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** January 08, 2009, 08:15:43 AM »

Nope.

And how about with Ghia? The builder of the Gilda concept (or did I get the clue wrongly

)

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** January 08, 2009, 12:40:08 PM »

You got it wrong - but at least you read it!

One thing: was it built as a one-off, like a hot rod or something by some known craftsman?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** January 10, 2009, 03:04:06 AM »

It is a one-off, built by somebody who had hoped to be known as a craftsman.

Joao Gois · « **Reply #18 on:** January 10, 2009, 06:03:21 PM »

And is it known for anything else?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** January 11, 2009, 03:45:20 AM »

The car was one of many similar concepts penned to similar specs and built by up-and-coming designers, some of whom became quite well known.

Was it a proposal for an Italian design competition?

Ray B. · « **Reply #21 on:** January 11, 2009, 05:45:29 AM »

Not Italy, Missouri.
It's a 1954 proposition by James Lee Garner for the Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild.
