The VW Beetle was designed by which emgineer, most famous for founding a separate car brand in his own name?
Just looking for the family name.

Name the sea creature the elongated, low-drag, white-liveried 1978 iteration became nicknamed.

Nope, although there was a Stingray sports car (Corvette) so I can see why it was worth a go.
Clue…
This sea creature was much bigger than a stingray.

Not the kraken.
It’s a real animal, but a particular one from a work of fiction.

The first line of Moby sausage is famously, “Call me Ishmael.”
Identify the novel from which the following opening line is taken:
“It was a queer, sultry summer, the summer they electrocuted the Rosenbergs, and I didn’t know what I was doing in New York.”
