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)

All good!

Can you please list the unidentified pics? Just letter and numbers...I tried to find it back but probably you keep note of them.

I had to fill in the map by hand, but it made all the difference.   :faint:

These next two were connected before, but to complete the path (going up from 13):

13  (Moses Fleetwood Walker) and B (Cadillac Fleetwood)
B (Cadillac Fleetwood) and N (Mick Fleetwood)

...but this one should be new (to finish the connection):

N (Mick Fleetwood) should tie to K (Who's Magic Bus) (both musicians or bands)

...and I'm guessing that 22 (Tata City Rover) and X ("Rover) are connected through 17 (a Hispano Corrocera custom coach, acquired by Tata/Rover)?

Then 12 (Dual Ghia) must fit in between I (Chrysler Imperial Dual windshield) ("Dual" in the name) and 15 (Chrysler Cordoba) (both Chrysler).

And 3 looks like Keith Moon's Bucket T (or one similar to it) which would connect it to K (Who's Magic Bus).

(Either that or it's the Who's cover of Jan and Dean's "Bucket T".  And since it doesn't look like Moon's actual Bucket T, it must be the song.)

So then V is Sammy Packard of NASCAR fame, and he's connected to D, Sammy Johns (both named "Sammy")...

...and he's connected to 10, Brooks Stevens Packard (both are  "Packards")

...and the final piece would be connecting 16 to Q, the DeLorean.

I assume that it's a stainless steel car, built with questionable styling and possibly poor attention to detail, probably with an anemic engine not befitting its looks.  And just because you can build it doesn't mean you should. 

But I'm still trying to figure out 16...    ;)

Great puzzle!
