Neverending Chain, now closed!

[Otto Puzzell]

That's correct

[Paul Jaray]

Hupmobile Skylark 1940  and   Chevrolet Nomad 1955    founder's relatives were tied to their early automotive empires
Chevrolet Nomad 1955  and    what car?            why?

Continue this chain for 1 to 4 points use any connection but do not use these:

-Both cars have the same: builder\manufacturer,factory building,builder's name,model's name,country,city of construction,year,
                                               engineer,engine,engine layout,source of energy,number of CV,traction,body style elements, mileage radius
-Both manufacturers: made an unorthodox vehicle
-The name of one car and: the driver of the second,the circuit where it raced,the part introduced first time,
                                                the same name in a different language, the name of the city founded.
-Both cars: are one-off, have one exceptional technical spec, are named after daughters, had later revival projects
                   of the cars distributors
  -Name of a vessil & a sea-going car
-The engine of one car is the evolution of the engine of the other
  -The designer of one car worked for the design-house of the second
-The same man owned the design-house of the 1st and was a dealer for the 2nd
-One builder's relative worked for the builder of the other car
-The last model of both builders derives from the same car
-Founder's relatives were tied to their early automotive empires
-their engineers worked for the same company\model
-the builder of the 1st car was a pilot in the 2nd
-the features of the first car were credited to the designer of the 2nd

Chevrolet Nomad and Veritas RS. Both had later revival projects.

[Paul Jaray]

I like it, plane and simple!

Chevrolet Nomad 1955  and  Veritas RS2000 1947    Both cars had later revival projects
Veritas RS2000 1947     and   what car?                         why?

[Ehhxekt]

Veritas RS 2000 1947 and AFM 2,5 L 1951

The Veritas was the brainchild of Ernst Loof, AFM was founded by Alex von Falkenhausen. Both engineers worked for BMW before the war, and contributed to the development of the famous 328 Sport model.

[Paul Jaray]

Now is getting harder....well done!

Veritas RS2000 1947 and AFM 2.5l 1951    their engineers worked for the same company\model
AFM 2.5l 1947              and what car?            why?

[Allemano]

BMW 700 RS: was driven by Alexander von Falkenhausen who wasn't only an talented engineer, but also a successful racing driver!

[Paul Jaray]

That is good:

AFM 2.5l 1947               and     BMW 700RS 1960     the builder of the 1st car was a pilot in the 2nd
BMW 700RS 1960       and     what car?                      why?

[Allan L]

I don't think we've had a specific link for flat-twin (boxer) engines. Like the BMW 700, the Wolseley 7 h.p. has that engine layout

[Paul Jaray]

No, we had not!

BMW 700RS 1960     and     Wolseley 7 HP 1922      Same engine layout

[DynaMike]

The license plate (NK-numbers) indicates this car is from Hertfordshire. Students of the University of Hertfordshire built this 2007 UH10, a Hydrogen Electric  Formula car. I don't think we had the geographical link based on a license plate, yet.

[Paul Jaray]

I really do like this one, but I said that the picture is not crucial, not a matter for the connection. If there is a blu Renault Clio, you can't continue the chain with another blue car, because the blue color do not define a Clio in any way.On the other hand, a picture of the Jenatzy Jamais Contente allows connections like this because it's only available in that color. If you post a one-off or a car (like the Rolls-Royce AX101) that can be somewhat related to the license plate it's OK, but this one is not a connection, is a coincidence!

[DynaMike]

OK, quite logical. Let's make another attempt:
Wolseley made also a two-wheel car, the Gyrocar.
And Ford had its 1961 two-wheel Gyron:

[Paul Jaray]

OK, so the next step in this chain is:

Wolseley 7 HP 1922     and                         because                         ?

[DynaMike]

Wolseley 7 HP 1922     and     Ford Gyron 1961     because     Wolseley made a two-wheel car like the later Ford Gyron.
Hrmm, I guess I made one step too much, didn't I ?

[Paul Jaray]

nothing irreparable when I can find a more generic connection  !

Wolseley 7 HP 1922     and     Ford Gyron 1961     because     both manufacturers made an unorthodox vehicle (gyroscopic car)
Ford Gyron 1961           and     what car?                  why?

[faksta]

Wasn't Gyrocar Schilowski's personal project?

[Paul Jaray]

Yes it was, but I think that the connection is still valid, sometimes even the "official" concepts are the development of so-called personal projects....
and "unorthodox vehicles were made from cars of both manufacturers" do not sound soo well....






( ok probably they can buy this.... )

[faksta]

I wasn't asking that to ruin the connection, but to be sure I've had the right info 

[Paul Jaray]

You were right, Wolseley didn't make such car and it's good to point this out. 

[Otto Puzzell]

Ford Gyron 1961 and the Tucker Torpedo. Ford credited the gyroscopic concept of the Gyron to Louis Brennan, who invented the steerable torpedo.

(Both car's bodies were designed by Alex Tremulis, but I believe "same designer" was already used).

[Ray B.]

Paul, I've been impressed by yours too, but the knowledge accumulated by this man is beyond belief !

[Otto Puzzell]

 

[Paul Jaray]

... the knowledge accumulated by this man is beyond belief !

Absolutely!

Ford Gyron 1961                 and                   Tucker Torpedo 1948     the features of the first car were credited to the designer of the 2nd
Tucker Torpedo 1948        and                    what car?                          why?

[Ray B.]

Tucker Torpedo 1948        and         1931 Rolls-Royce Phantom II    : both cars star in a film that bears their name. Tucker, the man and his dream and The yellow Roll-Royce
You can object that the title of Tucker refers more to the man, but his dream refers to the car. Besides, both cars bear the name of their makers.
