It's actually very easy to find with the information that you have. I'll keep it locked for you through the weekend.

I,ve been searching hard,so far no luck on finding this sketch.The only car that resembles to some degree is where he,s at the drafting table and looking at it.So far it just comes up with the bronco,ford gyron,warrior and a turbine car from 1958. :o

Is this design from the Ford years?

No, this design was completed prior to Thompson's tenure with Ford.

I feel bad for kwgibbs, but a Google search for "McKinley W. Thompson Jr." reveals the puzzle image (for me, anyway).

Was it actually built or just remained on the drawingboard?
I'm pretty sure this design was never built.
