Me thinks too, but I am not sure to understand. Can you give us an example that's not in your puzzle.
(Us... well, not me, I can't play there).

Edit: I may have been retarded. I've just found a pair and I get it now.

Ok I think person 5 is Richard the Lionheart, who was a crusader and can be linked to car 5 which is a Clan Crusader. Also person 4 is Benito Mussolini (a dictator) who is linked to car 1 which is a Studebaker Dictator.

Car 5 is indeed a Clan Crusader but Person 5 is not Richard the Lionheart.
But you are correct about the other pair.
Person 4: dictator Benito Mussolini
Car 1: 1928 Studebaker Dictator

I believe car #6 is a '66 Pontiac Grande Parisienne Sport Sedan.

The brand was named after Chief Pontiac.

So that would connect it to Chief Joseph. ( P3 )


Edit.

Looking at it some more, I think its a Pontiac Star Chief.

Car #8 (Ford Pilot) should be linked to P #1, though I don't know her name  :(
And Car #4 (Datsun/Nissan President) should be linked to P #2 (Charles de Gaulle)
