Now, you're probably saying, "Wait a minute, odd-user-name-guy... all cars have names!" Well, yes, but these cars really have names! And hopefully it won't take you long to see what I mean.

(P.S.: These cars almost all have one other, very basic thing in common, which I didn't plan on but oddly found I couldn't avoid. Again, you'll see what I mean.)

Set 1 of 2:

I understand what you mean, so come to us, Experts little puzzle

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #3 on:** November 05, 2009, 10:06:55 AM »

OK, I'm going to toss these to the Experts, who I predict will devour several (but not all) of them in short order.

#1 1930 michel irat type CB2 berline
#2 1930 Bollack Coach
#4 1913 leon bollee G2 double diligence
#6 1923 georges-irat type 4R torpédo sport by aubertin
#8 1903 georges richard type H 10HP 2 seater coupe
#9 1923 Benjamim

#1 - Correct, 1930 Michel Irat -- I don't have model name handy
#2 - You're correct, but part of the answer is missing
#4 - Correct make name, I have it as a 1911 G1 Double Berline de Voyage
#6 - Correct make name, I have it as a 4A
#8 - Correct make name, I have it as a 1902 Type CB2
#9 - Incorrect

I'll give you points for #1, 4, 6 & 8 since you have the full make names. I need the rest of the answer for #2.

See the theme yet?

Number 10 Benjamin? I guessed the wrong number I think...
Number 7 is a Georges Roy 12-HP Touring Sport Torpedo from 1909

João · « **Reply #7 on:** November 05, 2009, 10:54:06 AM »

Number #2 - Lucien Bollack?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #8 on:** November 05, 2009, 11:03:55 AM »

Correct on #2 & #7.
No Benjamin to be found here, though - you don't quite have the hang of the theme yet, apparently!

Also, I have the Lucien Bollack as 1929, not 1930.

#9:1925 Jean Gras

João · « **Reply #10 on:** November 05, 2009, 11:44:28 AM »

#5 is a 1903 Tony Huber...

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #11 on:** November 05, 2009, 11:47:38 AM »

Right on both counts! This is going even faster than I expected. But it's the remaining 3 that I've expected to be hardest...

pnegyesi · « **Reply #12 on:** November 06, 2009, 08:47:14 AM »

CWN3: Germain Lambert coupe?
CWN10: Jean Graff cyclecar?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #13 on:** November 06, 2009, 09:02:32 AM »

Nope on both.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #14 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:50:44 PM »

CWN3: Theo Schneider?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #15 on:** November 06, 2009, 12:57:03 PM »

Nope.

pnegyesi · « **Reply #16 on:** November 07, 2009, 06:45:59 AM »

cwn03: could that be a Robert Serf?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #17 on:** November 07, 2009, 07:22:25 AM »

Nope - I'd looked for that one, but couldn't find a pic that I could be sure was one.

BTW, I think it's obvious by now that the "other" common ground is that the cars are French -- but there is one exception.

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #18 on:** November 12, 2009, 09:41:36 AM »

OK, the last 3 names still have not been named. Time to open up to the Pros.

Allan L · « **Reply #19 on:** November 12, 2009, 09:55:50 AM »

No 11: Luc Court?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #20 on:** November 12, 2009, 09:58:16 AM »

Nope. (I won't even ask if that was actually someone's name.)

You didn't say it had to be someone's name - in this case, I'm not sure but it could have been!

No 10: Jacques Muller?

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #22 on:** November 12, 2009, 10:13:36 AM »

Yes! 2 to go!

OK, now I'm saying it has to be someone's name!

ftg3plus4 · « **Reply #23 on:** November 19, 2009, 01:25:55 PM »

OK, it's been a week of no activity. Time a couple of hints.

#3 is the one not made in France.

#11 was a short-lived make of which I suspect this is the only surviving example.

#3 - 1921 Victor Page Aero-Type Four Sedan
