#11 Arawak Hustler

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.

No 14: Buchanan from Australia

No 23 is the Saginaw cyclecar from USA

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #30 on:** October 12, 2009, 08:29:26 AM »

Right on both counts, sir!

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

pnegyesi · « **Reply #31 on:** October 12, 2009, 09:02:12 AM »

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

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #32 on:** October 12, 2009, 09:06:57 AM »

Nope!

pnegyesi · « **Reply #33 on:** October 13, 2009, 11:43:18 AM »

Do the remaining two cars come from the same country?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #34 on:** October 13, 2009, 11:56:39 AM »

As it happens, yes.

Number18: Gardner Coupe?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #36 on:** October 13, 2009, 12:34:04 PM »

Nope.

João · « **Reply #37 on:** October 13, 2009, 12:53:15 PM »

Numer18: Rickenbacker?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #38 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:01:32 PM »

Number 4 is a 1906 Compound Model 7.5

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

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #39 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:06:05 PM »

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.

João · « **Reply #40 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:13:25 PM »

Windsor?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #41 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:22:33 PM »

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!)

João · « **Reply #42 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:39:58 PM »

Dagmar?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #43 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:46:14 PM »

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).

João · « **Reply #44 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:54:10 PM »

Gardner
Rickenbacker
Windsor
Dagmar

And Enger?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #45 on:** October 13, 2009, 01:58:05 PM »

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

João · « **Reply #46 on:** October 13, 2009, 02:01:56 PM »

Star?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #47 on:** October 13, 2009, 02:05:25 PM »

Nope.

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

João · « **Reply #48 on:** October 13, 2009, 02:15:58 PM »

Elcar?

pnegyesi · « **Reply #49 on:** October 13, 2009, 02:18:02 PM »

Or the Mercer which was revived by Elcar in 1931?
