Not exactly a repost.

For one point, please respond and identify this proposal, when it was published and which car it led to.

I guess at that time, Fairchild was not yet named. Let's call it the "New York State Safety Car project", which later led to the Fairchild Experimental Safety Vehicle. Conceived by George Hildebrand, an aerospace engineer who worked at Republic Aircraft on Long Island, and Edward Speno, a New York Senator who was also the son of a designer.

Yes, it led to the Fairchild Hiller New York State Safety Car, but was connected to another company's name. Locked for you.

If it's not Republic (the other half of Fairchild-Republic), I don't know, so it can be unlocked.

Yes, I have it as the Republic Aviation Safety Sedan. Tell me the year and I'll give you the point.

Thank you.

A well known automotive magazine in the US did a feature on this project recently. I was going to use one for a puzzle.  ;)

I'll scan some pics and add them shortly.
