Sorry Otto, your connection was good (and funny) but I just found that DynaMike's one is not correct:

About the Baroque, that pic comes, apart from that list of kitcars builder, from the original brochure, where the car is sold as Baroque Motorcars by Knudsen Automotive Inc. and 'Gold Coast Coach' is not active before 2000, with a different kind of vehicles...

So we are still here:
Wolseley Viper and AC Cobra  both cars being named after a snake

[Otto Puzzell]

D'oh! 

OK...

AC Cobra and A Cob Car

The latter is an anagram of the former.

[Otto Puzzell]

The above is tongue-in-cheek, of course.

It's a pity that it's not real....

[DynaMike]

I apologize for my wrong link (I relied too much on internet info...). A similar link would be:

AC Cobra    and    1961 Rambler Classic     as both have a model name that refers to an art period.

[Paul Jaray]

I'm happy you found another car with the same, original, link.

You should perhaps explain, as I don't recognise any art period in either of those names.

[Paul Jaray]

I wasn't aware of any Cobra period, but a quick search revealed that there are many more periods than I knew...
http://www.caldarelli.it/jeanraine/cobra.htm

"Alla base del pensiero Cobra vi è la ricerca delle radici della creazione artistica attraverso lo studio della cultura e dell'arte primitiva, dell'arte popolare, dei disegni dei bambini; utilizza simboli, figure, motivi improntati alla natura, ai buoni e cattivi spiriti, alla fertilità, alla vita, alla morte, avvicinando l'uomo ai fondamenti dell'universo attraverso il mito; Cobra tenta il superamento della distinzione tra astratto (il pensiero) e concreto (la sua trascrizione), tra figurativo e non figurativo per un linguaggio e una scrittura universali che portassero allo scoperto il fantastico e il favoloso che risiede nel profondo di ognuno di noi."

"The basis of thought Cobra is the search for roots of artistic creation through the study of culture and art, primitive, folk art, drawings of children, using symbols, shapes, patterns characterized the nature, the good and bad spirits , fertility, life, death, bringing the man to the foundations of the universe through myth, Cobra tries to overcome the distinction between abstract (thinking) and practical (his transcription), including figurative and non figurative for a universal language and writing that led to discovering the fantastic and the fabulous that resides deep within each of us.

"Cobra" seems to be rather an art movement than an art period.. Mostly common in the Netherlands, Belgium and Denmark.

[Ultra]

1961 Rambler Classic

1962 Plymouth Valiant Wagon

Both have the C-pillar angled in the opposite direction.

[DynaMike]

Indeed, Cobra was a post-war avant-garde movement of  Karel Appel, Constant, Corneille, Christian Dotremont, Asger Jorn, and Joseph Noiret, from Copenhagen, Brussels and Amsterdam. They made colourful, quite childish looking paintings and sculptures. A bit too loud to my taste...
Classic is indeed a rather wide term referring to classicism, art that is based on Roman and Greek esthetic principles. A bit too strict to my taste...

[Paul Jaray]

1961 Rambler Classic
1962 Plymouth Valiant Wagon
Both have the C-pillar angled in the opposite direction.

...sounds like a body style element.

Um, not something I've ever come across (nor do I want to from that description PJ found)
"Classic" is also a bit unhelpful either as a period or a movement so far as my understanding goes.

[DynaMike]

I agree the link is not very good, or maybe even not good at all...
Let me try this:
AC Cobra     and     1986 Mercedes-Benz 190     as the second car has been painted by a painter of the art movement with the same name as the first car.

[Allan L]

Come back, Alexander Calder, all is forgiven!

[metalshapes]

I'm going to try one....

Mercedes-Benz 190  and Checker Marathon.

Both were the car of choice in their respective countries to use as a Taxi.

[Ultra]

The Checker Marathon and the VW Beetle.

Both were cars that were produced for more than 20 years.

[metalshapes]

VW Beetle and Auto Union D Type.

Both their factories were lost to the Germans as part of War Reparations


( Volkswagen was started up under the leadership if the British officer Ivan Hirst, and the Auto Union factories were dismanteled by the Soviets )

[Otto Puzzell]

Auto Union D Type and Jaguar E-type.

Their type designations are in sequential order both chronologically, and alphabetically.

[metalshapes]

Jaguar E type and the Ferrari 250 LM.

Both factories tried to bend the rules a bit to get then accepted for Sportscar Racing.


Jaguar by claiming that the prototype was the production car ( and visa versa ), and Ferrari by claiming the mid engined LM was a continuation of the GTO.

Wow!
