Ray's own Cartunes - Solved by Allemano, Otto Puzzell, pnegyesi, 75america and Ultra,
« on: November 22, 2009, 01:38:30 PM »
With the permission of Otto, I am having a shot at this myself!
Thirteen performers, thirteen cars. They're connected two by two by a car song.
You know the rule: one point for the connections (please give us the title of the song). No point for the name of just the performer or the car.

Now, the performers:


Tuner #1 The Happiness Boys (Allemano)


Tuner #2 Johnny Cash (Allemano) 


Tuner #3 K.C. Douglas (Otto Puzzell)


Tuner #4 Collins & Harlan (Allemano)


Tuner #5 Robert Johnson (pnegyesi) 


Tuner #6 Billy Murray (Allemano) 


Tuner #7 The Treniers (Allemano)


Tuner #8 The Andrew sisters (Otto Puzzell)


Tuner #9 Chuck Berry (pnegyesi)


Tuner #10 The Playmates (pnegyesi) 


Tuner #11 Bob Dylan (75america) 


Tuner #12 Reverend Horton Heat (Ultra)


Tuner #13 Sonny Boy Williamson (Otto Puzzell)

This particular car is a 1963 Buick Special Deluxe Sedan.
According to Wikipedia: "In 1962, the Special was the first American car to use a V6 engine"

Right. Starting 1931, Buick was only powered by eights. So a Buick 6 can only be a Special.

Quite often, as in Otto's Cars and Tunes, the connection is to be found in the lyrics and not in the tile.

Tuner #2 is Johnny Cash. Should match to Car#9 a Psycho Billy Cadillac from the tune "One Piece at a Time"

Car No 13 is a 1948 Cadillac Series 61 fastback coupe and Tuner No8 are The Andrews Sisters who apparently sang about a Cadillac in the Spring, 1947 song: The Lady From 29 Palms

Car No 2 is a Curved Dash Oldsmobile. And then there was the song: My merry Oldsmobile in 1905 so I think the match is No6, who I believe is Gus Edwards.

Tuner No5 is Robert Johnson who sang Terraplane Blues, which matches Car No3 a 1935 Terraplane DeLuxe Six convertible coupe

Tuner No10 shows The Playmates, who had a song, "Beep beep" mentioning a Nash Rambler, a reference to Car No1, a Nash Rambler Convertible Landau, 1951.

Tuner No13 and Car4: Sonny Boy Williamson who in "Brother James" mentioned a 1929 Ford, which happens to be Car4: 1929 Ford Model A Coupe.

@pnegyesi: Your third and fourth pairings are correct (the Rambler is a 1953, but it's not obvious). The rest is false.

Sure, but that was already found by pnegyesi

Otto: 3 shots, 3 bull's eyes. For car #12, I couldn't find a picture with six, so they're only four.

Tuners #1 are Billy Jones & Ernest Hare matching car #8 a Ford T.
The song is "Henry's Made a Lady Out of Lizzie"

Actually the lyrics are about car#4 the Ford Model A which was presented in 1928.

" In 1927, after selling over 15 million Ford Model T cars,
the Henry Ford Motor Company replaced the Model T with the Model A.
This song was written in praise of the new Model A."

Correct! And you weren't fooled long by the trap. The point is yours, but can tell us, as a bonus, under what name Jones and Hare performed?
