Opel Omega B and Holden VE Commodore. Derivatives of each platform were sold by as top-of-the-line Pontiac models in the US (Pontiac GTO and Pontiac G8, respectively)

Actually the last car is an Omega A, but that's fine (the Omega B is a derivate...).

In the 30s Holden was just the Australian importer of GM cars (chassis), bt in 1936 Laurence Hartnett instigated plans for building a 'real' Australian car. This resulted in 1948 in the first Holden. But just before, Hartnett, the father of Holden, left GMH to start its own business, and he presented a car with his own name: the Hartnett, a 600 cc front wheel drive car with an aluminium body, based on a Grégoire prototype. Some 125 of these were built in 1951. So the Holden VE Commodore can be linked to the 1951 Hartnett, because the father of one make (the first) also created its own make (the second).

I like this!
Holden VE Commodore 2007 and Hartnett Pacific\Tasman 1951 the same man was director of the first and founded the second company

It seems that Dynamike found an hard one!
6 days closer to your well deserved pointS.
Is anyone able to continue it?

GRAYWOLF · « **Reply #280 on:** March 12, 2009, 04:14:08 PM »

This turbine powered 1952 SOCEMA Gregoire was designed by the man (Jean Albert Gregoire) who's design inspired the Hartnett.

This is good!

Hartnett Pacific\Tasman 1951 and SOCEMA Gregoire 1952 the same man designed one car and the car which inspired the other

What a beauty...

Djetset · « **Reply #283 on:** March 12, 2009, 07:27:31 PM »

The SOCEMA Gregoire was the inspiration behind the fantastic fantasy comic strip Spirou & Fantasio Turbo-Rhino 1 car.

Spirou & Fantasio Turbo-Rhino 1 and what car ? why?

Now it's interesting...

Ray B. · « **Reply #286 on:** March 13, 2009, 09:10:33 AM »

Spirou & Fantasio Turbo-Rhino 1 and Ray Banana's Ford X-100: both cars are concept cars or prototype (imaginary for the Turbo and real for the X-100) used by comic books characters.

Djetset · « **Reply #287 on:** March 13, 2009, 09:48:16 AM »

I like your thinking Ray B. I was worried that the Turbo-Rhino 1 might have steered us into a cul-de-sac, or the next link would have been some wretched special-edition Suzuki Jimny. Good work!

Ray B. · « **Reply #289 on:** March 13, 2009, 10:27:56 AM »

No problemo. I am unbeatable when it comes to the Ford X-100. This car was also called the Continental X, and presented as a Lincoln. However, there is a mockup that logically predates it, called the Lincoln Typhoon. Is a mockup eligible for this chain?

If so I suggest: Ford X-100 and Lincoln Typhoon. The second car is a styling mockup that became the first car.

DynaMike · « **Reply #291 on:** March 13, 2009, 11:38:47 AM »

Lincoln Typhoon 1952 and 1976 Maserati Khamsin, because both cars have names after some sort of wind (we had already daughters and object/thing, but I guess a wind is nor a daughter, nor an object/thing)

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #292 on:** March 13, 2009, 11:45:57 AM »

Lincoln Typhoon 1952 and Maserati Khamsin 1976, both cars are named after meteorological events
back to safe streets...

Quiller · « **Reply #293 on:** March 13, 2009, 11:53:50 AM »

Maserati Khamsin & Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow because they both used Citroen-patented hydropneumatic systems

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #294 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:03:32 PM »

This will never end!!
Maserati Khamsin 1976 and Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 19-- both cars have the same Citroen-patented hydropneumatic system

Arunas · « **Reply #295 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:21:03 PM »

I am not very good at those things so PJ please tell if this suits:

Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow and 1923 Lancia Lambda.

Silver Shadow was the first Rolls-Royce to have monocoque chassis while Lancia Lambda was the first car to feature a monocoque construction.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #296 on:** March 13, 2009, 12:28:16 PM »

Good!
Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow 19-- and Lancia Lambda 1923 both cars first introduced the same feature, one in the world, the other for its builder

1923 Lancia Lambda and 1976 Volvo 244. The Volvo 244 was the first car equipped with a lambda sensor.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #298 on:** March 13, 2009, 01:13:20 PM »

It's unbelievable how many different ways are out there to connect two different cars!
But I'm afraid this one is out of the game:
Renault Type A 1½ CV 1898 and Tracta T11 (first car with CV joint) 1929 model's name-part introduced first time
You have 24 hours to find another one for the same car or a new car.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #299 on:** March 15, 2009, 03:17:41 AM »

1923 Lancia Lambda and 1923 Audi Type K. The Lambda is named for the 11th letter of the Greek alphabet; The type K (in this case, an aerodynamic study from 1923) is named for the 11th letter of the Latin alphabet.
