One artist, and one car...

Tell me who the artist is and what car he's associated with for a point!

OK, no activity on this one... time to move to Experts.

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #2 on:** June 14, 2009, 05:33:28 PM »

Pros?

Is that Dana Andrews?

The movie I most remember of his was "Hot Rods to Hell" in which he drove a '61 Plymouth Belvedere four door while being harassed by degenerate hot rodders! Is that the car?

Glad to see some activity on this, but... nope.

A couple of hints:

(1) The nature of his art is such that you wouldn't know his face from it.
(2) The association between artist & car is very close -- you wouldn't associate another man with the car, or another car with the man.

A writer?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #6 on:** June 15, 2009, 03:44:12 PM »

Nope.

Musician?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #8 on:** June 15, 2009, 08:15:35 PM »

Also nope.

Ray B. · « **Reply #9 on:** June 25, 2009, 05:50:23 AM »

In the movies, somewhere behind the camera?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #10 on:** June 25, 2009, 08:07:52 AM »

Nope. Think closer to the more specific sense of "artist."

Ray B. · « **Reply #11 on:** June 25, 2009, 08:17:47 AM »

I don't think there is a specific sense in the meaning it would define a specialty. In my country, at least, the most commonly (and wrongly) understanding is "pop singer". Nevertheless, I think that you may mean "painter".
So, if a painter, let's start "around the world in 80 days": British?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #12 on:** June 25, 2009, 08:19:26 AM »

Yes, you're right about the direction I was trying to go in with that. It's not "painter" but that's closer than anything else guessed so far. And not British.

Sculptor?

DynaMike · « **Reply #14 on:** June 25, 2009, 08:29:47 AM »

Or car designer

?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #15 on:** June 25, 2009, 08:34:35 AM »

Not sculptor.

Not known as a car designer (except in the case of the one car that this puzzle is concerned with).

Ray B. · « **Reply #16 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:46:38 PM »

Architect?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #17 on:** June 25, 2009, 03:54:12 PM »

Nope. Think a little less "seriously."

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** June 25, 2009, 05:16:27 PM »

Alexander Calder?

I hope you don't mean something like magician or illusionist. That would be a little far fetched.

No, I don't. I'm sticking with basic, 2-D visual art.

Ray B. · « **Reply #21 on:** June 25, 2009, 06:23:48 PM »

Thanks. I'll keep looking.

Ray B. · « **Reply #22 on:** June 26, 2009, 03:38:39 AM »

He might look like a young Theodor Seuss Geisel, Dr. Seuss, without a beard. In which case the car would be this fire truck.

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #23 on:** June 26, 2009, 07:41:38 AM »

Very interesting guess, but not correct.

Another hint: In the spirit of most of my "Name That Make" puzzles, this involves a somewhat-obscure make of car, rather than, say, a weird custom one-off or a specimen of some well-known brand (i.e., this isn't "so-and-so and his customized psychedelic 1964 Austin Mini").

Is it either Ed or Jim Gaylord?
