Last 3 all correct!

Custoca, of course, is also known as "Custoka," but either would be OK.

It occurred to me last night what I probably should have used for #10: NJ. Oh, well, it would have had the same issues as the Excalibur J anyway. It would have been a repost, and it would have slightly violated a (heretofore unstated) part of my theme: one-word, non-acronym names.

Just four to go, including the two I've been expecting to be the hardest.

Right on both counts, sir!

I thought the Saginaw would last a little longer, but my expected "hardest" still remains...

Just a shot in the dark: can No4 be a Crawford from USA?

Do the remaining two cars come from the same country?

As it happens, yes.

Number 4 is a 1906 Compound Model 7.5

You naughty, naughty boy - you changed the color pic to b&w ;)

Compound it is! But why is changing the color pic to b&w a problem? I did that a bunch of times here!

But #18 is neither Gardner nor Rickenbacker. It's a shorter-lived make than those. (American, as has now been established.) Sorry for such a generic-looking pic, but it was all I could find.

Another good guess, but... nope.

(BTW, in case it's not clear: This is the one I had expected a while ago would be the hardest!)

Nope, not Dagmar either.

My sincere apologies, guys, but I just looked again at the page where I found the original #18 pic and realized that it was not of the actual car in question, but of a common car that the car in question somewhat looked like. I have, on short notice, managed to find an actual (though admittedly lousy) pic of the real car. Please take a look before continuing with guesses. I'll post a better pic later if I can find one (though this one was hard enough to find).

Nope. A hint: The makes you've guessed so far all seem to have ended before this car was made.

Nope.

At least my mistake with the picture doesn't seem to have made things any harder than they would have been... ::)

Or the Mercer which was revived by Elcar in 1931?
