Nope.

Two of the cars are from mainstream US automakers still in business; the other two are somewhat rarer, but easily recognizable by most AutoPuzzles regulars, I suspect - if they were not chopped into little pieces and mixed together.

The two non-mainstream automobiles in this puzzle feature engines from other, better known manufacturers. In fact, the engine in one of these cars is from the maker of one of the other cars included in this very puzzle, though from a different era.

As you might suspect, one is a 'trans-Atlantic' car. Another has other potential oceanic connections.

The following is a clue:

Two of these cars pay more attention than their contemporaries to the principals of fluid dynamics.

The preceding was a clue.

I believe if one pieced together the vertical grille elements, one of these cars would be quickly identified.

No sir. It's an American engine in a car built in Europe.
