No, I'm afraid it wasn't him either.
Don't give up - the answer is out there!
He specialised in aerodynamic shapes in his early career, which started in the 1930s.

Are you looking for the person who drew this specific sketch or for the head of the styling staff? 

I scanned this picture from a book, and the caption reads:

"Studebaker planned to revive its Express Coupe car/pickup in the ambitious all new S-P line first envisioned for '57.  ******** penned five possible accessories for it, including a pop-up pup tent" (as per my puzzle picture).

So I guess that would mean the actual stylist.


I found the quote in a book.  The person mentioned was A. Roberts.
Always remember to keep the shiny side up and the greasy side down.

I'm afraid that must be a different book - that's not the name in mine!
The name mentioned in mine is quite a respected and known designer.

Was the designer more of a freelance, industrial designer than a Studebaker staffer?

I believe he was, yes.
It wasn't Loewy though..

Not him, no.
There was an article about the designer in a very well-known New York newspaper about 18 months ago, which was mainly about his work on smaller and more aerodynamic saloons in the mid 1930s.

Very honourable - even if I do need to get my dictionary out to find out what 'recuse' means!!
