A german magazine commissioned an artist's interpretation, which doesn't have quite the panache of the version above, with these knife edge narrow guards, and huge chrome radiator surround. The headlights seem to perch out front with no shaping or nacelle merging back into the guards.

I'm not sold on the accuracy of the blue rendering.

I couldn't find a source for this one. The easy visual search doesn't seem to work with many sites. Bing/Yahoo/Tumblr seem to be broken with waterfox and startpage. I'm not signing up for pintrest. Only result was through Tineye which led to a French poster site dependent on gulag analytics to even function.

Any leads on this artist?

About the Dubonnet Dolphin… “The financially independent André Dubonnet was developing in France during the first half of the 1930s under the type description Dolphin an aerodynamic car, which however did not inspire interest among the industry. With the knowledge of his time as pilot during the First World War and his success on Europe´s race tracks behind the steering wheel of Bugatti and Sunbeam, Dubonnet was dreaming of a streamlined car, which could also be produced in series. Together with the engineer Chedru, he was creating a car body around the drive with a 3.6 liters V8 engine of Ford, which was strongly focused on a drop shape..........................

Compared with a series model, the French proved that his aero dynamical performance were right, as the car was achieving a maximum speed of 173 km/h (108 mph), while the serial-production Ford was only achieving 131 km/h (82 mph). But this success could not convince any company to produce his car in series and so André Dubonnet was dedicating to other projects and his unique formed car disappeared from the picture.”
