How old is Richard Eherenberg, veteran automotive journalist
Executive summary
The sources provided do not establish a public figure "Richard Eherenberg" described as a veteran automotive journalist, and no reliable biographical record for that name appears among the supplied results; the available hits instead concern several different people named Richard Ehrenberg/Erenberg and third‑party people‑search listings with conflicting ages [1] [2] [3]. Because the supplied reporting does not contain a verifiable profile for an automotive journalist by that exact name, it is not possible from these materials to state his age with confidence [3] [4].
1. Search result landscape: many similar names, no clear match to a "veteran automotive journalist"
The dataset returned multiple, distinct profiles for people named Richard Ehrenberg or similar spellings — including a 19th/20th‑century German economist born in 1857 (Richard Ehrenberg the historian/economist) documented on Wikipedia and in reference works [1] [5], an obituary for a Richard "Rick" Allen Ehrenberg born in 1966 [2], and commercial people‑search entries claiming various ages for different Richard Ehrenbergs [3] [6] [4] — but none of the provided records identify a Richard Eherenberg as a veteran automotive journalist or give a clear, corroborated birthdate for such a person [1] [2] [3].
2. Why the supplied sources are ambiguous: name variants and provenance matter
The supplied sources illustrate how small orthographic differences and low‑quality aggregators produce confusion: authoritative historical references point to Richard Ehrenberg the economist (born 1857) [1] [5], an obituary record concerns Richard "Rick" Allen Ehrenberg (born 1966) and is clearly dated and local [2], while background‑check and people‑finder services list several different ages (for example, Richard Russell Ehrenberg claimed as born December 1940 and aged 78 on one aggregator) but those services are not primary biographical authorities and often conflict [3] [6] [4]. None of these supplied entries ties any Richard Ehrenberg/Erenberg/Eherenberg explicitly to a career as a veteran automotive journalist [1] [2] [3].
3. The reliability problem: commercial aggregators versus primary sources
Commercial people‑search databases (Intelius, BeenVerified, USSearch, etc.) appear in the results and present precise ages, but these platforms compile public records and third‑party data that can be outdated, conflated among individuals with the same name, or incorrect; that undermines their utility for confirming a journalist’s age without corroboration from primary outlets such as a news outlet biography, professional press pages, or an authoritative obituary [3] [6] [4]. The dataset includes an IMDb credit for a Richard Ehrenberg in production roles, which suggests media‑industry activity for a person with that name but does not provide an age or an automotive‑journalism biography [7].
4. What can be concluded from the provided reporting
From the supplied reporting it can only be concluded that there is insufficient evidence to answer "How old is Richard Eherenberg, veteran automotive journalist" because no source in the set establishes (a) that a person by that exact name is a known veteran automotive journalist and (b) a verified birthdate or age for that person [1] [2] [3] [7]. The closest outcomes in the dataset are unrelated individuals with similar names — a historical economist [1], an obituary for a different Richard Ehrenberg [2], and various age listings from commercial databases [3] [4] — which together show the risk of conflating distinct people.
5. Recommended next steps to find a verifiable answer
To obtain a definitive age for the subject who is claimed to be a veteran automotive journalist, follow sources that would normally verify a journalist’s identity and age: newspaper or magazine bylines and staff bios, LinkedIn or professional CVs, archival masthead records at automotive publications, press releases from auto shows that identify senior journalists, or direct public records tied to a byline; the present corpus lacks those confirming links and therefore cannot provide a reliable age [3] [7]. If alternate spellings (Ehrenberg, Erenberg, Erenberger) were intended, targeted searches of major automotive outlets’ archives and professional social profiles should be consulted next, since the supplied materials do not cover those documentary sources [1] [7].
