I'm feeling generous today - another clue:

The automobile with which this man was associated, is of a general type that was the subject of a group puzzle dedicated to that type.

It was also a stand-alone puzzle.

Wild guess. Buses.

Is that Carl Wickman ?

I may not have the patience to check all the possibilities. The group puzzle must be paul's, then...
Let's try J. Roy Hunt, builder of several "House-cars".
If I'm wrong, please unlock this puzzle.

No sir. The car in question was not named for this man, but it did appear on another, better-known car.

There is more than enough in the Q and A so far to solve this with little effort.

There is a sort-of Kevin Bacon-esque connection to this other puzzle:

Or, perhaps Charles Kettering of GM "X" car first generation fame.?
Edit:  Never mind, no car named after him and I cannot seem to delete the post.

Is it Bob Gregorie, designer of Edsel Ford's streamline roadster?

Despite a vigorous marketing effort, nowhere near 418,000 of this man's cars were sold in the model year in which it was was introduced.
