I don't think Ralph Nader would have approved. It screams Virgil Exner to me - maybe a proposal for a Chrysler 300 ?
I must be right - that's what it says on Wikipedia

1960 DeSoto concept drawing by John Samsen, a prolific and very under-rated stylist who worked for both Ford and Chrysler.

Exactly!
I agree with you about John Samsen; I have quite a number of his drawings saved as potential puzzles but never got around to posting them.  Some very attractive designs indeed.

I think you should definitely post more of his work . . . as you said, some very attactive stuff. If I see another puzzle from you that's his work, I'll not answer. It will let more of our puzzlers learn about him and his designs.
