1 point for one of its owners
Enjoy!

This car is not (and was not intended to be) a replica of any kind.
The names I'm looking for are not obscure ones...

Nothing like that.
If you search for this name (the owner) in Autopuzzles, you'll have 17 results...22 for the builder.
There can be a clue in the picture if you can see it...(It's barely visible but ...who knows...)

You all know these two names (famous owner, builder).
Is not easy to find a clue for a very known name...is like 'french metal building, very tall...'
C'mon you'll find it interesting...(well, I did...)
You won't have to look far away from the Automobile world...

Somebody who buys a neoclassic Stutz is also able to buy this one: was the owner Elvis Presley?

Not Elvis Presley...I don't think we named him at Autopuzzles 17 times!
This man proved, beyond any doubt, that is taste for cars is refined...(and that's a big clue)
The builder selfbuilt this car and then gave it to this friend of his.

You are thinking too complicated...this is a name you have to know.
Curt Brubaker is not THAT known.
This man can be associated to several cars, a very strange one in particular...it's not Bill Mitchell, none of the Italian designers...
