Car 6: Lincoln Zephyr (City 10: Lincoln, NE, and City 1: Zephyr, TX)

Car 3: Plymouth Belvedere (City 11 being Plymouth, MS, and City 4 being maybe Belvedere, CA)
I am taking a big chance with this one because I couldn't find the picture on the web, but #4 seems the most obvious candidate for Belvedere.

What about it, Otto?

Sorry - missed it - I was on the road again this week, and the 1st was 'get to the airport' day.

Car 6: Lincoln Zephyr (City 10: Lincoln, NE, and City 1: Zephyr, TX)

Car 3: Plymouth Belvidere (City 11 being Plymouth, MS, and City 4 being maybe Belvedere, CA)

(right car; wrong locations).

I knew you were on the road. When you come back there may be so many new posts to read that it's easy to miss one.

The point is lost anyhow, but wrong location? Maybe for City #4, but I doubt it concerning City #11...

Ray B. · « **Reply #29 on:** September 05, 2009, 05:58:09 AM »

And City #2 is Belvidere, Illinois. I feel inclined to claim the point after all: the Plymouth's exact name is Belvedere, and choosing a Belvidere when there are several places called Belvedere was whether a mistake or a dirty trick

.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #30 on:** September 05, 2009, 07:27:32 AM »

Fair enough.

No trickery - just sloppy work by the puzzle poster.

Ray B. · « **Reply #31 on:** September 06, 2009, 06:03:30 AM »

My last guess is more risky, because I am only 50% sure of the identifications I propose:
Car #5 could be a Dodge Monaco, to be matched with City#6 -let's say Dodge City, Kansas, and City/Place #4, Monaco.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #32 on:** September 06, 2009, 06:35:01 AM »

No Dodge in this puzzle.

Ray B. · « **Reply #33 on:** September 06, 2009, 11:55:38 AM »

You're right, car #5 is a Pontiac. A 1967 I guess, like city #6 (the Silver Dome in Pontiac, Michigan). The model I'd say a Catalina, as city #4, which should be somewhere in Santa Catalina Island (but I could find no proof).

Close, but no. Not a Catalina.

That's why I couldn't find the same picture.
According to the rules, let someone else find it.

75america · « **Reply #36 on:** September 06, 2009, 04:54:05 PM »

Car #5: Pontiac (city #6) Bonneville (City #4)?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #37 on:** September 07, 2009, 04:37:43 AM »

Nope - no Bonnevilles here.

Ray B. · « **Reply #38 on:** September 07, 2009, 08:03:48 AM »

The mystery thickens...

Ray B. · « **Reply #39 on:** September 07, 2009, 09:25:46 AM »

I found it but can't answer.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #40 on:** September 08, 2009, 04:44:17 AM »

Perhaps I'll put an expiration date on the lockout, should this go too long unsolved.

Stephen M · « **Reply #41 on:** September 17, 2009, 11:23:13 AM »

I think Car #5 is a Pontiac (city #6) Ventura (city#4)

Ray B. · « **Reply #42 on:** September 17, 2009, 11:25:33 AM »

Yes, it's the Ventura City Hall. Thanks, I am glad that you found it.

Ray B. · « **Reply #43 on:** September 19, 2009, 05:51:31 AM »

This one is done, as is Even More Cars and Tunes. No rush, I just don't know if you've seen Stephen's reply.
