Norm James in a styling buck for one of GM's Motorama Firebirds?

HaHA! You fell for my fiendish plan of process of elimination by uninformed guessing. Now I've narrowed it down to the remaining 11,938,566,212 people who have ever lived during the existence of the necktie, and likewise to the 42,712 cars which reached the design phase during the age of photography!

An admirable estimation of the remaining task. :D

This designer is more well-know than Norm James, in my opinion.

That´s a little bit tricky. I´ve found this photo in May 2009, described as "Porsche_15" at some website.


But as I´m quite sure it is not a 904 GTS or anything alike, I think it must be some GM concept car, maybe a pre-presentation version of the Corvair Monza GT.
And - as I hope I am not totally wrong, a photographer named "Madler" was active for GM in those days...

The man might be Norman J.James.

Aaaargh! Didn't notice that it entered the Professionals:

Caption from Car Styling: “A happy Shinoda and Lapine in the seating buck.” (of a Corvair Monza GT)
