Cars and Dolls #10 - Cindy Eilbacher / My Mother the Car
« on: July 24, 2011, 07:25:58 AM »
Who is she, and why is she in an AutoPuzzle? For 1 point, please respond below and identify this actress, and an automobile she is readily associated with. In this case it's a rather special one-off automobile with a bit of screen history of its own, so I'm going to ask for the builder's name.  

If you haven't registered yet, you need to do so in order to reply.  You can do so by clicking here.

Also, please be sure to check out our other puzzles, and, please post a puzzle of your own if you'd like - the more, the merrier.

Thanks!

Did this actress and the special car appeared in the same movie?

Let's try:

Angela Little and 2003 Dodge Durango Hemi RT Concept. They both appeared in Nip/Tuck TV series. I cannot find any other special/one-off vehicle...

No - the car is much more unique than that.

In Reno911! she had a brief appearance in the edisode: The Department Gets a Corporate Sponsor, posing with a pink-white police car. That must be fairly unique :)

The automotive connection in play here predates Nip/Tuck and Reno 911! by some decades.

The car was built by a person who built other solved puzzle cars.

The car was owned by solicitor, and coveted by a mariner. Or, so the story goes...

It is not. But you have hit upon the right genre of builders.
