The lengths we go to, in order to thwart search-by-image cheats!

I guess it worked.  ;)

A point for me? It's been a long time! Allelujah!
I found the name in an article about the Nash styling studio on hemmings.com, and tried it.  I didn't find the source of the image.
Believe it or not, I still don't know how this search-by-image gizmo works. When this erupted, I tried it  to check it too see how some of my own puzzles had been solved, and got only one hit. That's all.

This american dream car is also not a Crosby. When the stills for this picture were young, the designer was looking forward, for sure.

Confused as usual.  I see the reference to CSNY and the David Nash --> Nash automobile, but the "looking forward" thing escapes me...well, it seems to be a reference to Exner and Chrysler.  Where did I take the wrong turn?  If it's in the lyrics of one of the songs on American Dream...well, CSNY isn't one of my favorite groups and I don't have that album, nor any of the songs on it in a coupla anthologies I have.

It's sorta like, "he who laughs last had to have the joke explained."

Maybe this will help :)

This american dream (an album by CSNY) car is also not a Crosby (member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young). When the stills (member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young) for this picture were young (member of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young), the designer was looking forward, (an album by CSNY) for sure.

CSNY were not really my cup of tea, either. But I was having a heck of time connecting this car to The Old Dog Barks Backwards  :D

Any luck n decoding this one?

Thanks for the explanation.  I wasn't familiar with the Looking Forward album...nor any of the songs on it. 

When my kids were of an age where they could enjoy puns and word play, I read a TON of Ogden Nash to them...but not the book you referenced.

My favorite one-liner of his is "when you shake the catsup bottle, none'll come and then a lot'll."
