Forget about Elcar please!!!!!!!

It“s a Jaeger!   Only now I saw that you changed the pic

[ftg3plus4]

That's it! Apologies again for the mistake.

For some reason I decided to see if I could find another pic, and in the process happened to notice, belatedly, that the caption to the one I had said the Jaeger somewhat resembled this Chevy except it didn't have a rumble seat! AAAAAAAA!  Fortunately I found the real pic at the same time (although a better one would be welcome if someone has one... hint hint). Sigh. For this mistake, I hang my head in shame (and refrain from posting another puzzle until who knows when)! At least I caught it before someone else busted me.

Final results:

Ftg3plu4, this puzzle was awesome. I don't think it was such a terrible mistake, and if you have more of these, please post them!
Only a little complain...befor giving to many hints, why don't you move it to the lonely pros? 

[ftg3plus4]

Sorry, but the Experts were just too good on this one... it never came close to making it to the pros! (And it's not like I gave a lot of hints, either!)

OK, what could I do next? Maybe one with Babcock, Abadal, Scootmobile... nah!

"The Jaeger was an automobile built in Belleville, Michigan by the Jaeger Motor Car Company from 1932-33. The Jaeger was powered by a six-cylinder Continental engine, rated at 70 bhp. Wire wheels were standard on the vehicle, with a V-radiator grille and three diagonal groups of four louvers on each side of the bonnet. Only a few coupes and convertible coupes were actually produced. The vehicle sold for $700."


Would be a great idea!

I'll shut up after this, but... I blame my mistake mostly on the article where I got the first "Jaeger" pic. Who writes a whole article about a car, then doesn't provide a picture of that car, but of some other car that it looks kind of like? Especially when most cars from that era look kind of like each other to begin with? Lame, lame, LAME!
