For one point: Where was this picture taken, and in what year?

Only a correct, complete and specific answer will earn a point; tag-on's to other guesses will not. So, be specific and complete!

Student project for a VW replacement?

It is not a Volkswagen

Any connection to the Fisher Body Craftsman's Guild Model Car Competition?

Was it planned to using a two-stroke engine like the DKW´s mentioned in the background poster?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #10 on:** February 01, 2013, 10:52:40 AM »

I don't think there was any direct DKW connection.

I hope he's not modeling a probe to explore the black hole...

Nope, he was

Picture was taken in 1950 at the North Carolina State University.

Right place; wrong time.

Locked for you, to have another go at it.

75america · « **Reply #16 on:** April 06, 2013, 02:16:59 AM »

Picture taken in 1950 by Ralph Mills is what my source says.
Maybe that's wrong but that's the only date I can come up with.
But I can PM you my source if you want.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #17 on:** April 06, 2013, 03:34:16 AM »

I saw that source, too. Further research will show you that the magazine outtake on the wall behind renders the 1950 date impossible.

Still locked.

You are absolutely right. Once again an example of the fact that you can not just blindly believe sources you don't know.
I believe 11/05/1961 might be more plausible.

Well solved.
