Could this be a sketch for a restyle of the "Bulldog" series Volvos (122s)

50s Buick sketch?

On the right trail - now flesh it out...

The fender peaks look like something Bill Mitchell would draw...if not him, Ned Nickles maybe. My two guesses would be proposals for the '59 Buick (but it almost seems too early for that), or the redesigned '54 Buick, since the hood is down between the fenders.

Year is unknown (though I expect it's early '50', not late). However, neither of those gentlemen produced the illustration pictured.

Note: I hit "modify" accidentally, vs. "quote". You answer is as you posted it.

Wow...tough one. I'm going to say David Holls, but he would have been pretty young then.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #8 on:** October 06, 2010, 03:30:12 AM »

Not him.

Anyone else have a guess?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** October 13, 2010, 03:35:17 AM »

Pros know....

Aaron65 · « **Reply #10 on:** October 13, 2010, 06:44:54 AM »

OK, I'll try again...how about Chuck Jordan?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #11 on:** October 13, 2010, 08:21:31 AM »

Not Chuck.

I can't drop this one without a fight...I own a '53 Buick! How about Henry Lauve?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** October 28, 2010, 03:25:26 AM »

It's not Henry, too

Aaron65 · « **Reply #14 on:** October 28, 2010, 09:00:28 AM »

Argh...how about Strother MacMinn...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #15 on:** October 28, 2010, 10:15:40 AM »

No, not him

Aaron65 · « **Reply #16 on:** October 28, 2010, 03:32:13 PM »

I could go on all day...how about Ed Glowacke?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** October 29, 2010, 05:23:57 AM »

Some help, perhaps. Our mystery artist went on to work for another automaker, and can be seen in this picture.

Aaron65 · « **Reply #18 on:** October 29, 2010, 11:36:13 AM »

How about Larry Shinoda?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** October 29, 2010, 12:50:05 PM »

No, not Larry.

Aaron65 · « **Reply #20 on:** October 31, 2010, 06:35:18 PM »

How about Homer LaGassey?

.....and a cold wind blows this one into the black hole.

Aaron65 · « **Reply #23 on:** December 03, 2010, 08:06:38 AM »

I'm really struggling with this one...did Elwood Engel ever work for GM? I don't think he did, but???

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #24 on:** December 03, 2010, 01:00:24 PM »

Not him. Didn't you feel the breeze from the last clue?
