Is this Mr. M from Akron sharing his surname with somebody famous for his automotive achievements, like Mitchell for instance ?

Not completely, but you've picked the right one of the two. :)

Oh sorry, I didn't answer clearly.

Moore is part of the surname, but it's not complete.
I don't believe his first name has been posted.

Also, against all odds, I've managed to locate another image!
