What's this, by whom, from when - for 1 point?

Google Image Search continues to raise its ugly head on AutoPuzzles.
For the sake of our newer members who may not be aware of past discussions on it, Google Image Search as a means of solving puzzles is banned on this website.

AutoPuzzles is primarily a game of automotive knowledge, not of who can copy and paste the quickest.

Have fun!

This looks as if it may be a 'future car design' proposal by prolific American industrial designer Walter Dorwin Teague Jr, probably done in the very late 1930's. His designs had a signature about them and the front of this car suggests his work. Not sure though. :-\

Well spotted, you are indeed correct.
It's one of his ideas for an aerodynamic car, dating from 1938.
