#1 - Bugatti T101 by Virgil Exner
#6 - Ferrari 212 Inter by Abbott
#18 - Jaguar XJ220 by Pininfarina

#10 - Ferrari 250 GT by Drogo?

I can only imagine that #16 is a Figoni & Falaschi but that short tail throws me off...

Just to hazard a guess - Delahaye 135 M F&F?

You are doing very well, gentlemen. Check the photo captions to see if you were correct.

Coach1 Looking for the coachbuilder, not the designer

D'oh! Ghia of course.

8= 1951 Talbot 26CV by Pinin Farina

I guess Ray B. would have had the correct answer when he would drop the 'Pinin'...:

# 8 Talbot Lago T26 Grand Sport by Stabilimenti Farina.

Ray B. · « **Reply #8 on:** August 17, 2008, 12:42:44 PM »

Dynamike is right. Funny thing is that I found a picture of the car in a book, captioned as a "Farina" coachwork. "Who is this Farina guy?", said I, being not specialist in italian coachbuilding, and I found it clever to add a "Pinin" before...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #9 on:** August 18, 2008, 04:31:11 AM »

I've made the same mistake myself.

C'est la vie

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #10 on:** August 21, 2008, 04:46:41 AM »

Sixteen down; four to go...

DHoffmann · « **Reply #11 on:** August 21, 2008, 11:13:55 PM »

Coach #4 - 1933 Lincoln KB Judkins Coupe.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #12 on:** August 23, 2008, 06:05:47 AM »

Correct!

A few more left, AutoPuzzlers!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #13 on:** August 27, 2008, 03:39:01 AM »

As usual, those I thought you'd have a hard time identifying were gone in a flash, and some of the 'easy' ones remain unidentified.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #14 on:** September 11, 2008, 04:33:27 AM »

Time let the Pro's clean this one up.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #15 on:** September 11, 2008, 06:06:30 AM »

Coach2 - Ford 1919 by Albright
Coach5 - Bugatti Type 46 cabriolet by veth & zoon

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #16 on:** September 11, 2008, 06:17:44 AM »

Right, and right.

DHoffmann · « **Reply #17 on:** September 11, 2008, 06:31:53 AM »

Is #20 an Alfa or Jaguar?

Allemano · « **Reply #18 on:** September 11, 2008, 06:59:02 PM »

#20 is a "Corsica" Bugatti T57S, 1937, S/N #57503

I've been waiting for this one to finish so I can finally make the jump over to expert. Glad it's through this puzzle.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #22 on:** September 13, 2008, 06:52:19 AM »

I regret you found this tedious.

Here are the point totals:

DynaMike: 11
Paul Jarray: 2
DHoffman: 4
Ray B: 1
autominded: 1
Allemano: 1

Allemano · « **Reply #23 on:** September 13, 2008, 06:57:59 AM »

All of these cars can be found on one and the same page. Regret I've found this topic too late!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #24 on:** September 13, 2008, 06:59:25 AM »

And with that, this puzzle is closed, and DHoffman has been promoted to Expert status!
