Who is this happy-looking man, and what is his connection with the vehicle he is sitting in?

It's Pietro Frua sitting in one of his first 'car' designs, circa 1946 (could be '48 - my bad memory again)

Good job he got the hang of scale for his later cars then...!

The only problem is: it's not him!

Ohh, my sources suggest that this is Pietro Frua sitting in an early car of his creation, c.1948.

For the moment I am awarding Barrett the point, unless anyone can proved that this is not Frua.

I quote the Frua page:

"Ein von Pietro Frua konstruiertes Kinderauto Anfang der 40-er Jahre. Bei dem darin sitzenden Mann handelt es sich nicht, wie von Chapman (1987) angegeben, um Pietro Frua."

translated:
~ Kid car constructed by Pietro Frua in the early 40s. The man sitting inside is not Pietro Frua as stated by Chapman (1987).


This pic shows Pietro Frua in 1965: (the man sitting in the kid car is apparently older in the early 40s  ;))

Gosh, it sure looks like a younger Frua.  I'll keep this on open for definative proof, or otherwise.
