Yes - that front.
Nothing to do with P-P, Jaguar or Loewy though!

The latter, though it does have a maker's name that will be known to all here.

Exactly.
I wonder if he is related to that Audrey Moore Hodges mentioned by AlexFrance?  Apparently he worked for GM Design in Reno, Nevada.
Sorry Majeko - you were right but beaten to it with full info!
