Another dashboard group puzzle.
But this time, all come from dreamcars, concept cars or prototypes. This will help you focus your investigations.
I am giving the rookies and experts a chance before promoting it to the pro level.
Have fun.

That would be a terrible car to take on a date...

I see you haven't lost your sense of humor, Mr Chapin...

Roy Chapin, head of Hudson Essex Terraplane, the guy you were before Mr No Milk Today (I still have to solve this one)

I know - I was kidding

I also hoped that with a gentle reminder, this post might be moved to the pro section

Up you go, little group puzzle !

EDIT: Mayday, mayday... Moved that one into the solved section ( instead of the professional section) by mistake! Help needed.

D8 = the Buick LeSabre show car from 1951

D8 = the Buick LeSabre show car from 1951 Yes
A well-known car, but not an easy picture to identify.

When I have the time to work on these, they are (well, some of them) elementary, Watson.

I mean, Ray.

D1= the Cadillac LeMans from 1953

Ray B. · « **Reply #12 on:** August 26, 2008, 06:54:28 AM »

D1= the Cadillac LeMans from 1953 Yes!
3 found, 5 to go. And, as you say some of them elementary, since you know what you can focus on.

D3: 1958 Chevrolet Bel Air series
D4: 1955 Mercury D-528 Beldone concept

Hello, Ehhxekt! Happy to see a new puzzler interested in this one. I am away from my computer until Thursday so I can't do no checking, but you're almost right.
D3 is a 1958 Chevy alright, but what is its special name (this is no production model)?
D4: correct!

Ehhxekt · « **Reply #15 on:** October 08, 2008, 01:19:23 PM »

I found it: D3 is the Chevrolet Impala Martinique show car, a special edition of the Convertible, ’feminized’ by Jeanette Linder. I should have thought that a puzzle in this series wouldn’t be such a common thing like a production Chevrolet...

Is D2 the 1953 Packard Pan American Convertible Concept?

I had the same idea (based on the body colour), then I saw that the Pan American had ivory-coloured dashboard and a column shift. But from there it is only a small step to get to the Parisian – aka Pininfarina Fastback...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** October 09, 2008, 02:24:56 PM »

You are probably right.

Ray B. · « **Reply #19 on:** October 10, 2008, 06:23:31 AM »

Ehhxekt is right on both:
D2: 1952 Packard Parisian Pininfarina concept.
D3: 1958 Chevrolet Impala Martinique show car.
Only 2 left to go!

Ray B. · « **Reply #20 on:** October 10, 2008, 06:02:48 PM »

D1: 1953 Cadillac Le Mans - Otto Puzzell

Yessir. Keep on the good work, you have good eyes.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #23 on:** October 28, 2008, 05:41:43 AM »

Is number 5 from one of the non-Big 3 US brands?

Ray B. · « **Reply #24 on:** October 28, 2008, 06:12:24 AM »

No. One of the Big Three. Lots of leather, heh?
My turn to offer my apologies: N°3 is not truly a dreamcar or prototype. You rather might call it a factory custom, with unique body style and very, very, very low production numbers.
