Solved: NTM #48 - Namesakes 2
« on: June 14, 2010, 10:32:10 PM »
Sometimes more than one make uses the same name... and often the most famous make with a given name isn't the first.

Here are some cars whose names you know... these just aren't the cars you normally associate with the names.

For one point each, name each make and give enough information to distinguish it from other makes of the same name.

Hint #1: There is not much variety among the more famous makes that use the names.
Hint #2: Sometimes more than two makes have the same name.

Well, I guess this is going to have to be another puzzle for the Pros to have fun with. But I knew that.

Thanks, and that's one down. Not sure how that one qualifies as "the easy one" any more than the others, but oh well.

I assume you mean "like that." Anyway, yes -- all the names (as associated with other cars besides these, of course) are extremely well-known, with one that maybe slightly fewer people would know than "Mercury."

Nope. And I used the American Austin in the first Namesakes puzzle; I have not reused any cars here from there.

The years may be a little off, but you've got the correct makes. 2 more to go! (As I said, not much variety among the more famous makes involved.)

Very good! And I had thought that would be the last one gotten. One more to go!

Note that the Plymouth drawing is not from a period ad, but a 1980 Auto Album cartoon:

Nope. That make would also be a repeat from the first Namesakes puzzle.

And finally, all the sixes.

Car No 6 is a 1920 Lincoln Six tourer, also apparently called the Lincoln Pioneer Six, made by the Lincoln Motor Car Company of Sydney, Australia, and powered by a Continental six-cylinder engine.

This manufacturer was active from 1919 to 1924. According to Georgano: "The Lincoln Motor Co. of Detroit, Mich. requested the company to drop the Lincoln name in 1923, but it is not recorded that the Australians did so". :)
