Car3 - Plc6 N.J. Nikkei Taro 1954 & Nikkei (Tokio Stock Exchange)  :o that was a hard one!
Car6 - Plc14 Argonne Four Customer Roadster 1920 & Argonne National Laboratory
Car8 - Plc4 Smolensk Car - Smolensk Station
All correct, though I have a slightly different name for the car of the last pairing you've guessed. Maybe it's only about a wrong translation, but the point is yours

#1 and PaCII 09 : 1961 Fiat 600 Coupe by Caprera. Caprera is a small island off the coast of Sardinia, Italy.

Well so car number #11 is a Ford V8 Cabriolet by Neuss....it should match with location number #1 I think,Neuss,Germany.
Car number #15 should match with the #15 - It“s the observatory in the Tatra Mountains..it“s a project or a prototype car made by Tatra. Can“t find it..

(If the last one is right,award pnegyesi for it as I would never find this observatory)

That would mean you know more than I knew before I posted this puzzle, but unfortunately I can't find anything to confirm your 'news'.  :-\
If you show me something reliable I'll give you an extra point!  :)

It's not a Ford and there's not a city of Neuss in this puzzle!
You're right with your second guess, but I just need the designation of that obscure Tatra. My infos are very limited on this project, but I do have a certain name for this car...
(Sorry Joćo, you're a fair player, but as mentioned in the first post and to avoid chaos I give only points for complete answers)

I imagine it has to do with car 9 though, as I think it is the KAN. Car 9 fits location 15.

 :D Car number #11 is an Adler Standard 8 Cabriolet by Karmann and designed by Walter Gropius...so it must be place number #8 a building "made" by him in Germany with some Opels parked there.

You got the car, but the location has a certain (obvious) name as well — very famous in Germany for its 'objectivity' and depressing atmosphere.

No15 and place 15 are a pair. As I sad place 15 is an observatory in the Tatra mountains.
Car No15 is a 1:16 scale model of the 1999 Tatra Renegate, which would've returned the company to its original values.

And I sent a PM on car No8

I'm stunned again! Where did you get those infos as it's content of a recent German mag about classic cars?  :faint:

Well done pnegyesi, you are my man!  :applause:


PM will be analysed tomorrow as the rest of the replies!

Car #08 seems indeed to be the 'Laura' which didn't know before.

I feel generous and give one point each to pnegyesi who gave me a source to confirm
and one to del78 who was first who came along with the right name. :) (points already added!)

Eeehh, no! ???
Previously I had car #08 under the name 'Smolensk Supercar' (which real designation seems to be 'Laura') matches with the Smolensk Central Station.

There's nothing about "Laura" in the last pair. ;)
