My head hurts just reading through this one. Anyone care to make a summary of which pictures still need to be identified/linked to others?

I think this includes all of the connections made-to-date...

Now you just need to fill in the blanks.  ;D

15, G and T: A Chrysler, a gargoyle on the Chrysler building, and a Chrysler building head ornament (I don't dare call it a hat)
Yep! Who's wearing the hat?

In T, the man wearing the hat is William Van Alen, the architect of the Chrysler building. So T is also connected with BB, the Chevy van.
I don't know how you can keep track of all the possibilities and answers on a puzzle like this.
I go see another one now, because not only my eyes but my brain hurts...

I Can? It's a job for Albert Einstein. And I'd say you're the one who's got the worst part, giving the answers, awarding the points and tying all the strings together (see, you forgot to award me the points for the connections made 2 posts above).

But I'll make an effort at identfying stuff, but can make no connections.
13 is Isom Dart, I think, a rustler that was killed by Tom Horn (yet I can find no Dart in the cars). And 12 is a Dual Ghia, which could possibly connect it to the Chrysler Cordoba and the Chrysler building.

Your ID of 13 is wrong.

You're doing good on the rest!  :)

B is a Cadillac Fleetwood and N is Mic Fleetwood.

#13 can be linked to B & N - it is a picture of Moses Fleetwood "Fleet" Walker, who was the first African-American to play Major League Baseball, for the Toledo Blue Stockings back in 1883.

Let's try a few more links:

4 and O:  Captain Oliver Harmon "Spearchucker" Jones (from M*A*S*H) was a college javelin thrower and the Jowett Javelin (both javelin related)

G and I:  "Gargoyle Chrysler Building" and a Chrysler CL Imperial Dual Windshield (both are Chrysler's)

I and W: Chrysler CL Imperial Dual Windshield and Joe Flynn from the Imperial Margerine commercial (both are Imperials, fit for a King)

W and 15: Imperial Margerine and Chrysler Cordoba (Chrysler connection)

K and U: Since nobody's mentioned this one - Who's Magic Bus and a School Bus (both are busses)
