A couple of the coffee-table car books mention Dr. Wunibald Kamm; betcha
he _never_ found his name in the rotary rack of first-name key fobs near
the checkout line at Pep Boys.

Again, from the Coffee-table books: the only car he directly contributed
to was the early 1950's Cunningham (C4R?).

Well, you didn't provide a door count, but even a 4-door Falcon wagon
would be better than another minivan on the planet; go for it. And

Got up into the low 50's in MD over the weekend, actually got out for 25
miles or so in the Garage Queen one last time before she gets the new
suspension.
