No; I don't think he was employed by any of the Big Three. (But I might be wrong!)

No, they're all from the right era of course and did similar things but still not there..

No, he's not really as well known as him (or Harley Earl).
You'll know him though...

No.  I'm not sure whether any of the designs of the subject of the puzzle ever became actual cars.

Not him either!
But all the ones you have mentioned were from the right time and were probably mates of his...!

Still not.
You're pretty close with all these guesses so I'm surprised you haven't hit the jackpot yet!
Maybe it's time to lock it for you now as don't want someone to jump in with the only one left after you've eliminated all the others!

Don't apologise! It's what the game is all about..
Not Frank Kurtis; as I said earlier, I don't think any of his drawings ever resulted in an actual car.
