Here they are. One half-dozen turf-tending implements, built and/or sold by companies that also built (or builds) and/or sold (or sells) automobiles. To score points, you have to identify the mower's maker, and post a pic of one of their automobiles.

Easy, no?

Enjoy!

You must be kidding!

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #2 on:** November 21, 2010, 07:27:12 AM »

Nope.

Apologize, first I didn't read that those producers also made cars.

Nice puzzle!

#3 looks like something from British Anzani?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #5 on:** November 22, 2010, 04:51:03 AM »

Not familiar with that one, and that's not the name I have for it.

Interesting puzzle Mr P.

I think mower No.6 is a Sears, if that is correct here is a picture of a Sears Motor Buggy from 1909.

Is #3 an ATCO, who also built the Safety Training Car from the late 1930s onwards?

neilshouse · « **Reply #10 on:** November 25, 2010, 07:54:00 PM »

No. 2 is a REO Royale which shared its name with this 1931 REO Royale.

No4: is that a Honda? I'll post a pic later

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #18 on:** January 10, 2011, 05:16:26 AM »

No, it's not a Honda

hugo90 · « **Reply #19 on:** January 13, 2011, 06:52:37 PM »

#6, is that a Lamborghini? The grille looks similar to a larger one I saw a couple years ago.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #20 on:** January 15, 2011, 06:45:39 AM »

I say "no" to Lambo

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #21 on:** January 16, 2011, 07:31:17 AM »

The remaining makes are (or should be) well-known to AutoPuzzles Pros

Green grass to Black Hole? $:-\$

Tom_I · « **Reply #24 on:** February 15, 2011, 12:21:42 PM »

The black and white photo removes a major clue, but #1 is a Ford YT16, current 1984-87.

Ford have made quite a few different cars in their time, but here's one that's contemporary with the mower - an '84 Mustang. Mmmmm!

Or should that be "Hmmmm"? $:-\$
