Given the design cues, I'd guess it is a concept drawing for the early '70s Buick Riviera boattails....

Course, I do also see some styling elements from the Cadillac El Dorado of the same vintage....

You're in the right general vicinity, but it is not either of those cars.

I see Cord cues in the hood and grille, and those fenders look like extreme versions of what remained on the 2nd generation Toronado...so is it an early styling sketch of the Toro? ???

I do care to...but I can't find the rendering, nor who was working in the Olds styling studios at the time this would have been done.  Irv Rybicki is a wild guess, nothing more...

It is!

Dangumit ... I was afraid of that.  I mentioned the El Dorado ... thought for a minute it might be the Caddy's cousin Toronado, but "talked" myself into believing it was the Caddy.  LOL!

There's still a point for the taking, if you can ID the artist.

Point 600?
I think we've both have given him a "point 600" at the same time, so this should make 601!

EDIT: My mistake. I checked and the "add" on my topic wasn't green.
Corrected.

This thing was built. Probably just a mockup, but looking full size anyway.
