Who is this man and what is the car connection for a point?

Everyone take a shot!

Designer?

Not a designer...in fact, his connection to cars is more financial.

In fact, he got a major automaker off the ground!

Alexander Y. Malcomson.
Detroit's largest coal dealer, Malcomson became Henry Ford's partner in 1902. With Malcomson's money Ford bought machinery and material to develop a prototype of an automobile. This eventually became Ford Motor Company's first product. In 1906, after a dispute with Henry over the direction of the company, Malcomson sold his stock to Ford for $175,000.
