One of these things is not like the others,
One of these things just doesn't belong,
Can you tell which thing is not like the others (and why)
By the time this puzzle is gone?

Fixit 1 Fixit 2

Fixit 3 Fixit 4

[/size]

To explain:

Three of the cars have something in common. The fourth does not have this in common with the others. The 'something' is not mechanical, and has nothing to do with the constructor, nor the places where these cars were built.

Since this was buried by the bulk posters, bumping it back to the top of the charts.

3 of the cars have no passengers, while one of them has passengers.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #6 on:** June 05, 2011, 07:28:28 AM »

That is one possible solution, but not the one that pays a point.

3 of the cars have tires which are made of natural rubber, while one of them has tires made from synthetic rubber tires.(chemical...not mechanical..differences)

3 of the cars are painted in a dark color(shade), while 1 is painted in a light color(shade)(chemical difference..not mechanical).

3 of the cars are phaeton(s)..1 is not.

I don't know the makes of car. Is only one make still in existence?

tonyola · « **Reply #11 on:** June 05, 2011, 09:15:52 AM »

I don't know the answer to the question, but I do know that Fixit 3 is the Apple 8, built in Dayton, Ohio between 1915 and 1917. The builder, William Apple, was an ancestor of mine.

That's an apple, all right.

is the "something" visible in the pics?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #16 on:** June 07, 2011, 05:28:59 AM »

Admittedly, the connection is obscure, and unrelated to the automobile industry - except by coincidence.

The connection has nothing to do with the appearance or configuration of the pictured cars, nor the composition of the photographs.

Will a Pro know? These gentlemen of natty attire offer themselves as a clue.

Keyword fashion?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #19 on:** June 17, 2011, 05:01:13 AM »

No. The fashion illustration above (I removed the text) comes from a book I spoke about long ago, in a non-puzzle thread. The book's author is connected (remotely) to the solution to this puzzle.

It's too easy now I rather stay quiet...
