Still got no name for it – only a vague description...

This is not only what is written on the cover of that magazine, but also what you can read in an ad of the car, togheter with the builder's name.

Final clue: 44-59-99

That is interesting!
The car is named after its builder and in each source there's nothing about "the best" but it is simply called "Special". It has got a Jeep chasiss and another pic of mine with the body lifted up, reveals that these 2 cars are the same. The builder is from New York and if you read my clues, the answer will be much easier...I remind you that another point lies somewhere if you read my clues...just in  case.

6- This one can't be still around! I can name at least 3 of you that are familiar with this car or at least know the place where I took it...and it's not a big site at all! This car was the cover-car of a magazine...I'll leave my last clue, just in case...

About #6: it is american and it was on the cover of a magazine, but not a Popular or Automotive one...it was more about Science and Mechanics....
I know it's a big clue, but I'll leave another, just in  case.

Well done, but remeber the title of this puzzle...your answer is not complete.
There is one, simple point for anyone who will take the time to review my answers...there's one in particular that should make you ring a bell....I'll leave it for few hours then it will be time to move!

I'm the one who solved it, when I started this puzzle, I checked each repost.
The other one (that's why my reply #44) was a rocket car, by Heylandt with Max Valier.
I've checked now, and they are both gone.

I asked because I couldn't find it either. Maybe that made it a little harder to make the last point... ;D
Strange, that Ray kept silent.

The last point was a bit hard, under the circumstances...about the Case, I wrote

I can name at least 3 of you that are familiar with this car or at least know the place where I took it...
, and one of them is Ray.

Game over!  ;D
