Rumpler Tropfenwagen and Alfa Romeo P33 Cuneo. Both model names refer to the shape of the body.

Please enlighten we ignoramouses what 'Tropfenwagen' and 'Cuneo' mean?! (I always thought Cuneo referred to a town..)

Wendax · « **Reply #1101 on:** March 28, 2011, 05:16:37 AM »

Tropfen = drop (as in teardrop)
Wagen = car

Cuneo is Italian for wedge.

Thanks! The Wagen bit I knew.
Strange name for a town..!

Wendax · « **Reply #1103 on:** March 28, 2011, 07:11:38 AM »

Alfa Romeo P33 Cuneo and Opel Manta Black Magic, because their model designations include names which have an ambiguous meaning, of which one is a Piedmontese municipality.

(Thanks for the strange town name hint

)

Opel Manta Black Magic and Mini After Eight.

Both cars are named after a box of chocolate!

Wendax · « **Reply #1105 on:** March 28, 2011, 03:05:15 PM »

Mini After Eight and Citroen 2 CV 6 Sausss-Ente, because both were limited editions not offered on their home markets. The Mini After Eight was offered in France, the Citroen 2 CV 6 Sausss-Ente in Germany.

Citroën 2CV6 and Citroën 15-Six D

Both cars had a different tax horsepower rating than their names suggest.
The 2CV6 was actually a 3CV and the 15-Six (also called 15CV) was a 16CV.

Wendax · « **Reply #1107 on:** April 17, 2011, 12:43:41 PM »

Citroen 15 Six D and Ford V8, because they both have a reputation as being suitable cars for gangsters.

yves · « **Reply #1108 on:** April 21, 2011, 03:59:09 PM »

1932 Ford V8-18 and 1949 Mercury Eight

Both were popular hot-rod bases

Wendax · « **Reply #1109 on:** April 22, 2011, 02:56:53 AM »

1949 Mercury Eight six passenger coupe and Auto Union 1000 S Coupé, because they both have a three-piece rear window

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #1110 on:** June 14, 2011, 06:14:36 PM »

So far so good...shall we end it?

barrett · « **Reply #1111 on:** June 16, 2011, 04:26:36 AM »

Auto Union and VW Beetle. Both are German saloon cars that later gave up their mechanicals for small 'sports' cars that mimicked American car designs (DKW 1000SP/ Ford Thunderbird and the VW Karman-Ghia/ Chrysler Coupe D'elegance)

Wendax · « **Reply #1112 on:** June 16, 2011, 04:38:57 AM »

Volkswagen Beetle and Rover P4, because their rear windows were enlarged considerabily during their production run.

Last week.
Continue the chain or Wendax will have his points.

If some of our new members do not know the rules, they are easy, connect the last car of this chain (Rover P4 in this case) with a new one and give a valid reason.
You can earn up to 5 points (if you find a really distinctive connection), you can't use twice the same link (don't worry, I'm taking care of that..) and you should add a pic of the car you choose.

Carnut · « **Reply #1114 on:** October 03, 2011, 11:02:43 AM »

Have we had this one before?
Rover 75 (that's the P4 version pictured above) and Tucker Torpedo - both cars have a cyclops light in the middle:

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #1115 on:** October 03, 2011, 11:07:01 AM »

We have a new candidate for those points...

Wendax · « **Reply #1116 on:** October 03, 2011, 12:56:17 PM »

Tucker Torpedo and Lanz Eilbulldog, as their number of exhaust pipes corresponds to the amount of cylinders their engines have.

Carnut · « **Reply #1117 on:** October 03, 2011, 06:07:05 PM »

Well surely we've had this one before but let's try it:

Lanz Eilbulldog and Lamborghini Diablo SV - both cars have rear wheels that are bigger than those at the front:

Yes, thought it unlikely..
Shall I delete my post?

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #1120 on:** October 04, 2011, 04:52:00 AM »

No need to delete, just find another one or we can take a step back and proceed from here:
Tucker Torpedo and Lanz Eilbulldog, as their number of exhaust pipes corresponds to the amount of cylinders their engines have
Lanz Eilbulldog and what car? why?

Carnut · « **Reply #1121 on:** October 04, 2011, 05:25:37 AM »

OK, let's try again!
Lanz Eilbulldog and Model T Ford: Both cars have separate headlights fixed to a horizontal metal bar!

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #1122 on:** October 04, 2011, 05:33:27 AM »

(not a 5-point connection, but still a good one!

)

Wendax · « **Reply #1123 on:** October 04, 2011, 05:39:15 AM »

Ford Model T and Citroen B14, as they both were assembled in Germany, too.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #1124 on:** October 04, 2011, 05:54:57 AM »

Citroen B14 and the Chevron B17 (the green car behind the Brabham)

Both share their type designation with a bomber aircraft designed in the 1930's and pressed into service during WWII (The Lockheed B14 / "Hudson" and the Boeing B17 / "Flying Fortress")
