Great puzzle methinks..

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.

Do Experts know their (car)history?

250gto · « **Reply #5 on:** September 27, 2009, 02:48:29 PM »

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.

75america · « **Reply #6 on:** September 27, 2009, 02:55:25 PM »

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 # 7 was a Chrysler LeBaron concept.

Which Connects it to Baron von Richthofen ( P8 )

Great puzzle, but a bit nuts for me yet.

metalshapes · « **Reply #10 on:** September 28, 2009, 02:33:13 PM »

Car # 2 '49 Kaiser Traveler ( America's first Hatchback )

Connected to Kaiser Wilhelm ( P6)

faksta · « **Reply #11 on:** September 28, 2009, 02:55:40 PM »

How's that a hatchback? $:-\$

Ah, OK, now I've noticed that unusual rear door.

C5 is a Clan Crusader - linked to P5 Richard Lionheart, crusader

DynaMike · « **Reply #23 on:** October 08, 2009, 06:03:11 PM »

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)
