Title: Neverending Chain, now closed!
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 01, 2009, 07:40:32 AM
Here's something different.
No car to guess but links. I'll start with a car, and you'll have to find out another car that shares ANY relation with the one I posted. But that's not all, because to get the point, nobody has to find out a link to the car you posted. If nobody continues the chain after one month, the point will go to the last one.
About the links, you can choose simple ones (4-cylinder, American, same builder), more articulated (same designer, same pilot...) or absolutely original (like the one I'm starting with).
Obviously the simple link get 1 point and the hard one more than one, but only the last one will get it so it's not important to define it now.
So easy? No, because you can use the same link and the same car only one time, and If you post the same link r car twice, you'll be warned and if you won't change it in 24h, you'll lose a point and the link will be not considered.
You'll have to post the pic of the car linked to the previous one but if you'll have technical problems, just add a link to a pic.
Here's an example (without pics and with easy links)
Fiat 600
Fiat 600 & Fiat Dino (same builder)
Fiat Dino & Ferrari Testarossa (same engine-builder)
Ferrari Testarossa & Lamborghini Miura (italian)
Lamborghini Mura & BMW 850 (12-cylinder)
BMW 850 & Auburn 850 (same model name)
and so on..
I choose simple links but they will finish soon!
Always open to suggestions...

Abarth 750 Zagato Coupé 1956 and Porsche 718 RSK 1955
Abarth's wife was the secretary of Dr Porsche's son-in-law.

Thank you, the point is, now that it's started, anyone can try with a very easy or a quite elaborate link. When days will pass by without any guess, I'll bump this up reminding everyone that there are easy points to get here. In the future the easy links will be over and we can prove our deepest knowledge...

Whether I am stupid, whether I didn't quite get over the new year's eve festivities: I'm not sure I understand how this one is working. But if all that's needed is a Studebaker connection, here is one, a 1935 Dictator.

I'm sorry I'm not too god in long speeches.
This is a chain and to continue it you can add a pic of a car related to the previous one. Can be the same builder, same year, cylinders, displacement, country, name, etc, as a simple link, or you can find a deeper one, like a pilot that drove both cars, cars that raced in the same race, same tecnical specs (like fwd, rwd, 4x4....), type of engine (wankel, diesel,.....), or you can just look for very obscure links (an example can be two of this cars http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=5279.0 , that shares the same sad story..) like the one I started with. The only important rule is that you can use the same link only once and when you finish the 1-2-4-6-8-12-16-cylinders, or all the nationalities, or the major manufacturers, or all the easier links, you'll have to look for deeper connections to get the point(s). Right now the point will be yours if in 1 month (till 2nd Feb) nobody continues the chain. To do that anyone can just add a pic of an american car, a 6-cylinder car, a car from 1935 or look for something different and obscure like Hitler's Mercedes, or whatever. But now you can not use the "same builder" link or the "same engineer" link.

The 718 RSK didn't arrive on the scene until 1958

You are right, that's what happen when you post the pic you find on the net and you do not check them. Now, why don't you spend a little time also for continuing this chain?

You can just post the name of the car and a link to a pic..if it's not a revealing site. If it's not possible to post links (question for the Administrators...) I'll accept also just the full name of a specific model, but only if you find a connection with a car and you are not able to post a pic/link. I would like to create a list of pictures and not just names.

OK to follow the Studebaker Dictator, I shall offer a Car once owned by a dictator (Mussolini):
Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Pescara 1935
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 08, 2009, 09:20:04 AM
Perfect, but please report the full name of the model, in order to give everybody the chance to use it for a further link.
links used so far:

relative of one builder worked for the builder of the other car (3 points link)
same engineer                                                                                (1 point link)
same builder                                                                                    (1 point link)
model's name-driver's name                                                        (2 points link)

Just to give an idea for the "value" of a link:
1 point: generic link, can be used for thousands of different cars
2 points: harder link, can be used for different cars, but not many.
3 points: very hard link, probably there are other cars that can use the same link but it's unlikely
4 points: impossible link, only these 2 cars can use this link.

I must admit I don't understand the rules of this puzzle. For what do I get a point?
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 08, 2009, 10:01:30 AM
I'll try to make it simple, I'm sorry...

This is a chain, the point(s) will go to only one person, the last one of this chain, (so far, the last one is Allan ).
Allan will get 2 points if nobody find a link to his car ( Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Pescara 1935) for 1 month.
Now, if you want to try, you just have to find a car that shares something with this one. It can be something easy (another car from 1935, another Italian car-1 point-), or very hard, but you can not use the connection used before, the ones I posted earlier.
You'll became the last one, but no points for you for 1 month, You'll get them when this will be over and only if nobody else continues it after you.
Now is easy, but in the end, you will have to find obscure connection if you want to steal the points.

Achille Varzi won the XI Coppa Acerbo race held on Pescara circuit (year 1935) driving an Auto Union Typ B. So, Typ B is a next car in this chain.
The picture is from another race and with another driver, if anyone would be interested.

I'll post the link already used (about the point, Otto, it was purely indicative, but to find out another car by Porsche seems not so difficult  ;) )

relative of one builder worked for the builder of the other car
same engineer                                                                               
same builder                                                                                   
model's name-driver's name
model's name-name of the circuit the car raced in         (more than 1 point -is this OK?  ;)-)           

If nobody finds a link with the Auto Union Typ B from 1935, faksta will get his points.
You have 1 month.
You can not use the connections posted above.

(please remember to write the full name of the car and possibly the year)

This picture is of employees of the Ford Motor Company being roughed up by the "Service" team of Henry Bennett, enlisted by Ford to resist unionization. Though this event transpired in 1937, the United Auto Workers (UAW) Union was first organized in the year 1935.

Good one, Ray!!   :lmao:  'How Ford beauty is created'


My turn :) In Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Godfather' movie there was a car not actually from 1935, but very close - 1934 Fiat 508 Balilla.

Post by: Paul Jaray on January 12, 2009, 11:27:58 AM
Let's put some order in here. I ask for the name of the car, complete with the year (that has not to be necessary 1935, unless this is the connection you decide).
I will appreciate the answer in this form:
Auto Union Typ B from 1935   and   Make  Model year    because: your connection explained as you prefer , and a picture of that car (or a link to a pic if you are unable, but not a revealing link for further puzzles)
I will consider further replies only if completed (as possible, sometimes for some cars it's hard to determinate a "make" or a year) .The last one is still faksta.
So far:

Abarth 750 Zagato Coupé 1956                  and                  Porsche 718 RSK 1958                                   relative of one builder worked for the builder of the other car
Porsche 718 RSK 1958                                and                  Studebaker Project Z-87 1954                        same engineer                                         
Studebaker Project Z-87 1954                    and                   Studebaker Dictator 1935                               same builder
Studebaker Dictator 1935                             and                  Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Pescara 1935             model's name-driver's name
Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Pescara 1935          and                   Auto Union Typ B from 1935                           model's name-name of the circuit the car raced in 
Auto Union Typ B from 1935                        and                   what car ?                                                           why?

I' m afraid we're gonna drive ol' Paul crazy on this one, we have so much trouble being sure of his rules..  I would have love if he had accepted Otto's UAW link, but...
Paul, would you accept this one: another Type B, the ERA Type B at Le Mans Classic 2008... ?

Don't worry about that, I can be very patient...for example I'm going to say once more that I would like also a year and a picture if possible.
About Otto's link, that's one of the wildest, but it's not a car....

ERA Type B (or Type C) is connected with 1989 ERA Mini Turbo - Same manufacturers name.

I'm afraid you have to change your answer, it's not the same name, it's the same manufacturer...in fact that's a M-Type Mini by ERA.
The "same manufacture's name" connection was already used for the Studebaker. You have 24 hours to replace it...

You finally give me the opportunity to tell you this...You are here the real expert, no matter how many points someone can get, but to recognize a car by the suspension, or the wheels or the bolts is far more "pro" than just recognize thousands of pictures from the net or the books!
BTW I consider the written answer. I ask also for a picture of a car because I do not want a simple list of cars, but a collection of pictures..(when possible).

The Turner 803, or Turner A30, used the Austin A30 engine. I'll add a pic if this thing decides to work. It doesn't at the time I am writing this.

Whether you guys seldom have the same problem, whether you're all very patient. This is about the 20th time I am trying in vain to attach a pic this morning and i't's driving me off my rocker.

I'm going to risk a point by having another go as I don't think the "built in the same year" link has been used as yet

Stanley Steamer Model E2 1909 is connected to this 1909 Rolls-Royce 40/50 Silver Ghost (Roi-des-Belges by Barker) - Built in the same year

You are not risking any point because: if you are wrong you have 24 hours to change your guess but if you check on the 2nd page, the list of connections, you'll see that nobody used it before!
Very well!

Roi des Belges stands for King of Belgium, right? Here's a Delaunay-Belleville 70CV SMT Chauffeur Coupe by Kellner, where SMT stands for Sa Majeste le Tzar, or His Majesty Tzar - Nikolai II's personal car. Does this fit, how do you think? I just don't know how to call the connection better  :)

Very interesting but I have to ask you to define better the connection and please note that "model's name-driver's name" and "same model's name" are out of the game!

I got it, but like the Studebaker Dictator was connected with a dictator's car you are suggesting a Roi-des-belges car connected with a Tzar's car, that is more or less the "model's name-driver's name" connection already used.

Still looking for a connection...I really do not want to take away one of your well-deserved points, so why don't you find another connection between these two cars? There are some really easy links between almost all the cars, I'm sure you can find one, but you have to hurry!

That's fine!
Rolls-Royce 40/50 Silver Ghost (Roi-des-Belges by Barker) 1909        and         Delaunay-Belleville 70CV SMT Chauffeur Coupe by Kellner 1908     both one-off
Delaunay-Belleville 70CV SMT Chauffeur Coupe by Kellner 1908         and          what car ?                                                                                                why?

Continue the chain with another car (name-model-year) to get 1 (or more) point... use a connection that is not in the list on page 2. If you make a mistake, don't worry, you will have 24 hours to change your reply, after that you'll lose a point. There are still a lot of very easy connections left...

If nobody continues this chain, faksta will get the point.

Just found that Robert de Rovin bought the Delaunay-Belleville factory in 1948, so the above prototype (shown on the 1946 Paris Salon) wasn't yet built there. My apologies. But the link Delaunay-Belleville - Rovin is still there...

No problem, the spirit of this chain is in the connections between cars, like in this case between a huge, gorgeous car and a tiny little car. The connection is OK, because eventually Rovin built his cars in the D-B factory, and the picture is just something more I ask in order to have something to see in this post beside a list of cars. I try to check every connection you will find and for me this one is fine, even if the particular car you posted wasn't actually built there.

Post by: Paul Jaray on January 22, 2009, 08:49:22 AM
As I barely begin to understand how this puzzle works, I realize that I don't understand AT ALL how the points count works!

I can help you in 3 way:

1- I try to explain that on the first page, Reply #13 , probably there are other 2 cars that can be linked because the name of one is the same of the part introduced with the second, like  a Citroen Traction Avant and history's first FWD car, that's why 3 points. If there are 2 cars connected in a way only they can, it will worth 4 points;

2- Only the last one will get the point(s) so it's pure academic to define now if one connection is better than another and

3- I will decide at the end as I will find appropriate, always open to suggestions of course, but I'm sure the last one will be definitely a 3\4 points link!

For example, if now you post another French car, it is an easy link, 1 point. If you post another car with a SCAP engine, it's a bit harder, 2 points, if there exist a car named Art Cat, the anagram of Tracta is even harder, probably not many cars can be linked this way, 3 points. If you find out that the Tracta founder left his son drive this car and in that occasion he had a car accident with a Mochet Cyclecar driven by his son, well, that's a 4 points link!

Thanks Paul. I was just trying to be witty and didn't want to force you into a long explanation, but now I get it (almost) all! And I would heve kept playing even if I didn't.
The last thing is: do we still get those points if someone can continue the chain, or is it only the LAST puzzler who scores (as I had understood at first) ?
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 22, 2009, 09:17:24 AM
No problem at all, I got your point!
Only the last one will get 1 or more point.
That's why there is a 30-days limit after the last ring of this chain. After 30 days without valid guesses the chain will be over, will go to the solved section and the last puzzler will have the points. If there will be a wrong guess (a connection already used or somewhat wrong) there will be 24 hours limit to change it or I will subtract a point. This is in order to prevent anyone to shoot in the dark without thinking and this is the reason why I'm not so strict in this (am I Fastka?), when the connection was serious (but wrong\used).
But now, for example, are you going to leave Otto 3 points when you can just add thousands of cars? As time will go by, there will be no more easy connections and if you really want to get points you will have to: look closer to that model, to the manufacturer's history, to what happen in that year, who drove that car, where, why....
I'm only sad because I can't join this chain! But, hey, if someone likes the idea, when this one will be over (if ever)......

A very last point: does the winner walks away with all the points his links gave him throughout the chain, or just with those earned with his last link?

Now, to show that I still may not have undestood ALL: let's say I found a car for sale with 19981 miles on the odometer (same number as the displacment, in cm3, of the Christie). Does it qualify?
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 22, 2009, 10:26:01 AM
Only his last guess gives him points, so whoever will be, the maximum amount he has to hope for is 4 points.

If you find such car, with 19981 miles, in your opinion can I accept a connection like:
Christie Grand Prix 1907  and Fiat Punto 1.7 Diesel       the cm3 of the first - the kilometers the 2nd run?

I don't think, because in no way 19981 kilometers can define a Fiat Punto! The previous connections in a certain way can define the car the are related to, even the slightlest one someone suggested via PM (they are both made of tin!), but the km of one exemplar doesn't apply, unless that car has its particularity in that, like that Mercedes-Benz Taxi with # millions kilometers on its shoulders!
I think the easy way to get it is to try it. I'm sure you will not risk a single point, and feel free to suggest whatever you like, always remembering thet we are interested in car history, specs or trivia!

The difficulty will be to backtrack the neverending list of possible connections.

But real autopuzzlers keep that in an ethical correct manner and never would post such stupid comments .....  ;)

Not a real difficulty if you keep track of them one by one like I'm doing in the 2nd page!
About the connections, feel free to try, if it's inappropriate, I will decide. And once again, please note that if you use "both cars have side mirrors" I will (eventually) consider "both cars have the same body elements" generically, so nobody will use a "both cars have a windshield\rearview mirror\roof\hood\.." connection. If you link 2 coupes. 2 hardtop, 2 spider, it's different, but you can use it only once.I don't really care if someone want to try silly guesses...it's up to them and I don't mind to consider their guesses.

Well I've found a car with the same engine displacement  (well, just about it, 20.000 cm3 for this one, let's not be picky for 19 cm3), a Honda prototype.
Only problem: it's a toy...
Moteur V10 VTEC de 20 litres de cylindrée et double cockpit indépendant, voici les ingrédients du prochain prototype Honda ! Mais ne rêvez pas ce "délire" d'ingénieurs a été conçu... pour les enfants. Ce bolide mesure ainsi 7 cm de longueur, 3 cm de largeur et 2,2 cm en hauteur. Son poids : 40 grammes !

Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 22, 2009, 12:56:47 PM
I said that I will be elastic with the connections, but why are You exploring the limits?
This thing has a  “theoretical” 20 litre “engine” and is fuelled by “Gravity and a child’s imagination”.
Now, absolutely no problem for the missing 19cm3, but here the real car is missing. The next step will be Donald Duck's car? the limits are not so thight, but at least, post a CAR with a model name and a year (if possible model and year, I know sometimes it isn't).
If you REALLY want to match the capacity, there is another car, a real one and not so obscure of about 20500cc, I can accept that with an "outrageous capacity" connection, but not this.
You have 24hours to change this design with something real...if in the meantime Honda doesn't decide to make it real!
Title: Re: Neverending Chain

Sorry Paul... This was somehow meant as a joke, but...
Well if you admit an "similar engine displacement" or "outrageous capacity" link with a 519 cc difference (which is about the displacement of a Citroen 2CV engine yet), I propose the 1915 Mercedes Benz 79/200 SP, with a diplacement of 20.500cc.

1960 Cadillac Coupe de Ville and a 1915 Detroit Electric.

Cadillac, saved by Henry Leland and others from the ruins of a failed automobile company started by Henry Ford, was named for 17th century French explorer Antoine Laumet de La Mothe, sieur de Cadillac, who founded Detroit in 1701. The Detroit Electric was named for the city he founded.

Here's another connection tidbit: Clara Ford, the wife of Cadillac progenitor Henry Ford, drove Detroit Electrics from 1908, when Henry bought her a Model C coupe with a special child seat, through the late teens. Her third car was a 1914 Model 47 brougham model.

The first iteration of the Coupé Fiat, crafted in 1990 - a creation of several design minds within Centro Stile, including Chris Bangle - had no trunk (boot) - just like the Lincoln Indianapolis.

Automotive companies with founders of the same first name (not surname), who's brothers were tied to their early automotive empires. 

Louis Hupp and his brother Robert Craig Hupp, a former employee of Oldsmobile and Ford, founded Huppmobile in 1908.

Chevrolet was the brainchild of Louis Chevrolet, who also competed in the Indianapolis 500 four times, with a best finish of seventh in 1919. Younger brother Gaston won there in 1920 in a car Louis built.

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!

OK, quite logical. Let's make another attempt:

And Ford had its 1961 two-wheel Gyron:

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).

Nickname of the Packard (Pregnant Elelphant) was hood ornament on the 1931 Bugatti Royale...
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 30, 2009, 12:08:15 PM
The Royale ornament was a Pregnant Elephant?!?
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Ray B. on January 30, 2009, 12:09:39 PM
The Bugatti elephant doesn't look so pregnant to me, but if Paul agrees it's OK with me.

If he doesn't, I have another elephant, although I'm not quite sure of how the relation between both can be qualified (but he may see the same problem with yours too...):
The Chrysler produced 426 Hemi engine's nickname was "Elephant" in the muscle car world.

So here is a car with an elephant not OVER the hood, but UNDER the hood: a 1970 Plymouth Superbird Hemi 426
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Ray B. on January 30, 2009, 12:40:23 PM
May I suggest a way to connect the proposed Superbird to Dynamike Bugatti Royale:
as I was saying before, the two cars metaphorically carry, upfront, the same animal, an elephant. One over the hood, the other under the hood.

Now if Dynamike idea is rejected (I don't hope so): Since the Packard is pregnant, not only is it an elephant, but it's got another elephant in its innards, like the Plymouth.

@Paul: I've been bothering you too long with some zany connections. If those suggestions look the same to you, just dismiss them. No worry.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 30, 2009, 01:07:04 PM
Let's proceed with order...
Packard Convertible Coupe 1949      and     Bugatti Type 41 Royale 1931     nickname of the car-hood ornament
This is fine. I was just considering a bit outrageous the match (and funny of course) between the Pregnant animal and the Bugatti's sculpture, but of course it is a brilliant connection and of course I accept it.

Bugatti Type 41 Royale 1931     and       Plymouth Superbird Hemi 426    1970      nickname of the engine-hood ornament

This is perfect as well and if you were bothering me you will be the first one and this will be the first time, because I'm really enjoing this. Your connections aren't zany at all and don't worry about my patience, I've never seen its limit!

Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on January 30, 2009, 06:03:18 PM
I have to ask you to elaborate a little bit. You can even take another car if you please.The Arnolt had the Bristol engine, but was a different car and I'm not familiar with the Sokol-Auto Union connection.
There is an Arnolt Bristol as a start, find another car that, for any reason, can be matched to this, avoiding the links on the top of this page (or in the 2nd page in detail). The connection can even be an easy one, or you can dig a little bit in the Arnolt story and look for what shows up! The next move is yours for the next 24 hours.

Sokol was built on ideas taken from pre-war Auto Union GP cars, which USSR captured during WW2. Some historians even think it is a never built Auto Union Typ E, though I highly doubt that.
As for Arnolt, it had a shortened Bristol 404 chassis and Bristol 403 engine.

Ferrari 625 F1 from 1955, and the Chrysler 300K Convertible from 1964. 625 was the type of the Ferrari, and 625 was the number of 300K convertibles produced in the 1964 model year.

Chrysler 300K and this 1968 Volvo 122 S. Chrysler's wheelbase was 122 in inches, while 122 was also Volvo's model designation.

Volvo 122 S and Michael Schumacher's championship winning kart from 1987.

Volvo is headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, and Schumaker won both the German and European Championships for 1987 at Gothenburg, Sweden, ahead of drivers such as Alessandro Zanardi, Karl Wendlinger and Emanuele Naspetti.

OK Plymouth is the port from which the "Pilgrim Fathers" sailed to America.
Seville was where Christobal Colon (Columbus) sailed to (what turned out to be) America

Let's say a Cadillac Seville which may look like this, for all I know!
I am sorry to say, Allan, but Seville is no harbor at all. As a matter of fact, it's about 60 miles away from the sea. From what I read , he sailed from a place named Palos de la Frontera.
Your connection doesn't work.
Tardy response as broadband is playing up today!
In those days a decent river was all you needed and Seville has indeed a river (been there, seen it). It may well have been that they stopped off for final supplies at Palos de la Frontera, I don't know.
There is a fine memorial to the enterprise in Seville

I suppose we have to say that Seville was where his funds came from and he left it to "look for the Indies" by heading West. The ships he used were assembeled at Palos de la Frontera and although I reckon he probably went there by river, it was not in one of the transatlantic fleet.

Inland cities with harbours (at least adequate for 15th century ships) are not uncommon - Antwerp, for example, if you don't like London.

Chrysler 300K Convertibile 1964   and   Volvo 122 S  1968                            name of the car and number of one dimension of the other
 @Otto, about that kart, is there a make-model designation available? Otherwise will be a little hard...and the connection is between the Volvo and Micheal, the link with the car is really thin...(something like place of manufacturer-place were the pilot won)...

I want to make sure I understand - estimating the mileage of a concept car is a solid connection, but connecting a car built in a specific city with a championship won in the same city is 'thin".

I don't know the brand; I believe most karts are an amalgam of parts - a motor from here; a chassis from there, etc.

I guess you'll have to disallow my answer.

About the mileage of the concept, in some occasion I have to trust your connections. I do not think that anybody will come up with a fake one just to get a point, and of course everybody can prove it wrong. I'm sure Ehhxekt took that data from a valid source, and I have a loot of books to prove a lot of links, but I don't know where to start to verify this. That's why I think it's fine, it's just a game and there is no joy in cheating.
Your connection is not worse that that, but you are connecting "a car built in a specific city" with  "a championship won in the same city". OK, you are proposing the car that won that championship, and it's fine, but  only as Schumacher's winning kart . That's why I said it's not so solid. If You have a specific model, will be "a car built in a specific city"and "the car that won in that place", with or without Schumi. And you know the rules, I can't just disallow your answer... ;D

The engine of the Volvo was called 'B18'. In 1927 Citroën built a bunch of 1200 cars with model name 'B18'. These were basically B14 G models, but they had RHD and a 19 cm larger track. They were destinated for the Far-East. Only two are reported to have survived, one in Holland and one in France.

(so the link is 'ones engine name is the others model name)

Sorry Otto, but I don't get this. You have found some unthinkable connections before and now you pass because I said that I need a model designation instead of a driver? I'm sure you have zero-problem in finding another link between a Volvo and any other model or in looking for the name of that kart. I do not want to be a nit-picker, but I don't know how this chain can go on after a generic Schumi's kart. And what does it mean that you pass, that I have to take away one point of yours? You know that's just a way to prevent people from shooting in the dark, but that's not your case. So, please, why don't you reconsider your original idea, looking for that model or another car? If you are tired of all this, then no problem, but I really do not want to take anyone's point.

About your link, DynaMike, it's perfect, but I'm still waiting for Otto's decision, and if He decide to continue, I'm afraid will be useless.

Nowadays the traffic and direction signs in France made by Michelin are best known, but in the beginning of the 20th century several car companies placed such signs. Mors was one of them, later Citroën was better known for their signs, but also Renault and Peugeot made those. Thus I'd like to make a link from Mors -> traffic sign by Mors -> traffic sign by Peugeot -> 1922 Peugeot Quadrillette Type 161 E 4CV.

Peugeot Quadrilette was a successor of Peugeot's previous cheap model - Bebe, which was designed by Ettore Bugatti. But before Peugeot Bugatti proposed his project to Wanderer. They've refused, but a bit later showed their own car - Wanderer W1 Puppchen, which technically was an evolution of Bebe. Thus, my connection would be Quadrilette - 1911-1913 Wanderer W1 Puppchen. I think we can say they've had the same predecessor.

That's good but it sounds like a "both cars have the same mechanism" link already used for the Bédélia and  the AV Monocar. I know that are different parts of the car, but in some cases I take the connection as general as possible, otherwise there will be really an infinite number of "same parts" connections! But a "same transmission" can be fine. Is it OK for you?
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Allan L on February 07, 2009, 06:01:25 PM
the Bedalia/AV connection was centre-point and wire-and-bobbin steering. If you just call it "same mechanism" it would rule out a lot of interesting connections yet to come.
My point is that the change-speed mechanism involves belts in both but not in the same way - so it's not "same transmission" - you'd have to go to a modern CVT (or old Zenith-Gradua) for that.
Final drive in each case is by something else. (unlike some cyclecars (e.g. Bédélia) where that was the final drive and had nothing variable about it).

the Bedalia/AV connection was centre-point and wire-and-bobbin steering. If you just call it "same mechanism" it would rule out a lot of interesting connections yet to come.
That's fine, I'll consider a "similarities in the steering mechanism" in order to alllow more "mechanism" connections. I did this way because I though that you all were bored of a neverending list of same-device links, but it you say so, it means that probably you will keep on guessing!
About your last one, I got your point, just trying once again to make a general connection, but I was wrong, nothing to do with a transmission, it was a change-speed mechanism. I will consider "similarities in the change-speed mechanism".

On the other hand, one can try to lead the chain toward a car that is very obscure and hard to connect in order to end the game.

Knock-off wheels are what we call them when they are secured by a single eared nut which is tightened/loosened with a hammer.
This usually means Rudge-Whitworth splined hubs (and wire-spoked wheels), but in the case of the G-K and the MGA the Dunlop disc wheels have pegs to transmit the drive/braking.

The Steyr-Puch 650 TR had an extended roof spoiler that enveloped the rear window to aide aerodynamics; an idea that was reintroduced in the early 1980s on the MG Metro with a spolier wrapping around the rear window.

That would assume that the aerodynamic effect was imaginary.
With most tailfins and with some "spoilers" that is undoubtedly true, but here I think we have effective devices rather than just "body styling".

Ok, sometimes it happen that I do not get your connections right. You can help me writing them as simple as possible, like:
both cars have this and that, were made by this with that, etc etc,   SO:
car1 make-model-year    and car2  make-model-year    because:      the reason if few words.
In the short explaination of the reason try to be as generic as possible, do not use "both cars have extended spoilers to help aerodynamics" but something like "both cars have devices to aid aerodynamics" so that nobody else can post for example other 2 cars with other devices (pointed noses, covered wheels, ailerons, tonneau covers....) for the same reason.

"Same engineer" (Porsche) and "designer of one car worked in the design-house of the second" (Boano) are the ones that are closer, but different.
I try to check each time in the list in the top of each page and in the reply n.43 in page 2. In this case, Giacosa could be considered as Porsche as an engineer, but He was also a designer and actually was involved in both project.

We are in danger of having a discussion on whether an Engineer is a Designer.
Modern parlance seeems to regard the stylist as a "designer" where once men like Porsche, who were Engineers, designed cars.
Similarly modern Formula 1 drivers have their own "race engineer" who is probably a bit more than a mechanic, but possibly has no formal qualifications as an Engineer.

I do prefer consider Porsche or Giacosa as engineers, and Michelotti or Martin designers. Usually (but it's not a rule) a designer is also an engineer but an engineer do not have to be a designer. Obviously an engineer who designs a car take into account other issues, and a pure designer can let his creativity go free. On the other hand this chain is yours, I just have to check each time your connections and update the list. "Same designer" was a new one and now it's over, so I accepted it. Sometimes this links are really thin, other times are open to different points of view and that's what I like about that. (btw: Otto, I miss yours connections...).
This is definitely a topic for men with big brains.

I don't think so: you can post a Fiat Panda and write "both cars have 4 wheels" because it's good. If you want, you can take a look to Cisitalia's story and find something relevant about his logo, and then the connection with another car maker will be easy. You can also remember that the D46 was... it's up to you to decide how deep you go, and it will be harder and harder in the future. Now Graywolf's point is out there, make your move.

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).

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.

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.

The Audi Typ K that was illustrated was one of the first aerodynamic car bodies by one Paul Jaray, who had started his career as an aerodynamicist working on Zeppelin airships.
The Burney Streamline was designed (and produced ) by Sir Dennistoun Burney, who had been the Airship Guarantee Co.'s (which produced the R100) Managing Director

TVR Grantura Mk I 1958 and Healey Tickford Saloon 1951. Both are standard production models named after the body manufacturer.

Of course, we can find many cars where the coachbuilder's name is part of the model name but, as those cars are in most cases special versions of some base model, only an additional part, like in, say, 'Bristol 406 Zagato'. What makes the two cars above special in this respect is that neither is a special; here the name of the coachbuilder is used as a standard model designation (from Grantura Plastics and Tickford Motor Bodies, respectively).

[I have to say that since now, only 75america Ehhxekt DynaMike and neilshouse helps me writing the connections in this form: car-car-connection and the reason. Thank you, I really appreciate!

I don’t know if this one will be valid but I give it a try:

Healey Tickford Saloon 1951 and Volkswagen Type 3 (1966)

Both are from a brand that later on made a car in collaboration (without a merger) with another brand. 
Special is (and this is the link) that each time both brand names appeared on the car.  (Austin-Healey 3000 and VW-Porsche 914)

This is not the first connection between manufacturers and so it's OK.

Biscuter Commercial Rubia 'Woodie' and 1983 Nissan Sentra (this one with extra wooden bits).

The Biscúter was the brain child of Gabriel Voisin, who was born in 1880. The Nissan was a product of a spinoff of the Nissan Konzerne. founded by Yoshisuke Aikawa, also born in 1880.

Connection: both cars existed because of visionaries born in the same year (1880).

I’m addicted to this chain!

It’s only a pity that in the end, you can just earn a single (1) point.
There are faster puzzles to score a point.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on April 06, 2009, 05:01:14 PM
That's not true!
You can earn from 1 to 4 points!
I'll find out where I write this rule and post it here.
I'm preparing anothe chain, slightly different...
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on April 06, 2009, 05:12:49 PM
This was the link suggested: "Renault Type A 1½ CV  1898                         and           Tracta T11  (first car with CV joint) 1929                              model's name-part introduced first time"
As I barely begin to understand how this puzzle works, I realize that I don't understand AT ALL how the points count works!

I can help you in 3 way:

1- I try to explain that on the first page, Reply #13 , probably there are other 2 cars that can be linked because the name of one is the same of the part introduced with the second, like  a Citroen Traction Avant and history's first FWD car, that's why 3 points. If there are 2 cars connected in a way only they can, it will worth 4 points;

2- Only the last one will get the point(s) so it's pure academic to define now if one connection is better than another and

3- I will decide at the end as I will find appropriate, always open to suggestions of course, but I'm sure the last one will be definitely a 3\4 points link!

For example, if now you post another French car, it is an easy link, 1 point. If you post another car with a SCAP engine, it's a bit harder, 2 points, if there exist a car named Art Cat, the anagram of Tracta is even harder, probably not many cars can be linked this way, 3 points. If you find out that the Tracta founder left his son drive this car and in that occasion he had a car accident with a Mochet Cyclecar driven by his son, well, that's a 4 points link!
1 point: easy link (same make, name, country, number of wheels) There are a lot of cars that can be matched like this.
2 points: not so easy link (same engine, designer, one is the development of the other,...) Not many cars can be matched like this
3 points: hard link. Very few cars can share this connection.
4 points: almost unic. Probably there won't be other 2 cars that shares this connection.

For example your last reply worth 3 points. I can't find many manufacturers that started building cars under the license of the same third manufacturer.

You should say VAZ, Zastava and FSO, as Lada and Polski Fiat are only makes. But FSO started with licence-built Russian GAZ, not with Fiats.

1989 Alfa Romeo SZ and 1967 Rover P6 BS. Both names contain an acronym referring to a different company.

SZ = Sport Zagato, BS = Buick Sport.

Rover P6 BS 1967 and Columbia LX Electric Runabout 1903
Both companies had their origins in producing versions of the Micheaux Velocipede.
Rowley Turner and James Starley founded the Coventry Machinists Co to make Micheaux cycles, which eventually developed into a cycle called Rover, after which the company was subsequently named.
Pierre Lallemont left Micheaux to go to the USof A wher he was granted a US patent for the Micheaux Velocipede. He sold this on to Albert Pope, founder of the Columbia Cycle Co. in Hartford, CT which later made electric and IC-engines motor vehicles

I'm not the jury of this game...but I'm not sure this entry is valid.

Reason is that by my knowledge, there never was an official statement with the explanation where SZ stands for in the ES 30 car case.   
For all other Alfa Romeo SZ type cars, it stood officially for 'Sprint Zagato'.
So most people assume that also in this case, it stands for Sprint Zagato.  (Some exceptions like  Ehhxekt think  that it stands for 'Sport Zagato' but that sounds more like a Lancia name to me)
So, is there somewhere an official statement that the Z in SZ stands for Zagato?

Your comments are always wellcome, because You are one of the most competent in automotive history I know.
No, I don't have (so far) an official source that the Z in SZ stands for Zagato and I'll look in some magazines, but in all Zagato's history there was a Z in the name that stood (sometimes officially) for Zagato. If your question is if it is official, I don't know, but I'm sure that's the intent. In the connection I wrote that there is an acronym that refers to a company and IMHO the Z refers to Zagato.

My information about the meaning of ’SZ’ may well be false – I admit it sounded to me so evident that I didn’t bother to check it. Now that my fragile entry is buried by two brilliant suggestions, I can only say I am sorry. Otherwise I would have proposed to go back to the Alfa and discard my last post.

Nothing to be sorry about, if SZ do not stand officially for "whatsoever Zagato" there are strong elements (almost all the Zagato products) that suggest that the Z may refers to Zagato and your connection is valid. Allan suggestion is also valid but  written in this form "Both cars have a  name containing an acronym that refers to a different company " it fits well.

I know, your comment about the origin of SZ is still valid, there is no official source about that, but Ehhxekt's link, written in that form, avoid the problem, because, I hope You agree, that Z if not stands for Zagato, it refers to it.

That was my comment, not Allan L's. 
And yes, I agree that, although not proven,  the Z in SZ most probably refers to Zagato (to what else?).

Autobianchi Coupe (G.31) and Citroen Traction Avant. Both companies were at least partially owned by tire companies. Autobianchi was a joint venture of Bianchi, Pirelli and Fiat. In 1934, Citroen was taken over by its biggest creditor, Michelin.

The action Avant shown in Otto Puzzell's picture is the very first 11 (later known as 11 Normale), built between September 1934 and January 1935 (longer wheel base than the earlier 7 and the 11 Légère, still signal horns on the bumper). So technically a 1934 car, though regarded as (early) 1935 model year.

1935 Citroen 11CV Traction Avant and 1998 Toyota Progres.

Both brands are named after their founders (name when they were born), but with a small change in the name.

Citroen => Citroën,
Toyoda => Toyota

André Citroën's grandfather (a dutchman) was called Limoenman (Lemon man) because he sold lemons. He changed his name to Citroen (Dutch for lemon) to make it sound 'less jewish'. When André's parents moved to Paris, they still used the name Citroen, but when André had to be registered to go to school, this name was not accepted, because it was 'unpronounceable', André's father suggested to change it to Citroën, and that was accepted. So when André Citroën started his company his name was Citroën for many years already...

 ::) We are supposed to find new links between cars, but not necessarily new cars, am I right?

So 1998 Toyota Progres could be linked to 1955 Citroën 11 B Traction Avant, since both cars have a model name that refers to modernity (progressiveness; avant garde).

And for the 1955 version of the Traction Avant, Alexis Kow made an advert design with the slogan "Vérité bien ancrée, la Traction dompte la force centrifuge" ("Well anchored truth, the Traction tames the centrifugal force"). The same Alexis Kow made many designs for Panhard adverts and brochores, like this one of a 1956 Dyna Z. So Traction can be linked to Dyna Z because the same designer made adverts of both cars.
(There could be made another link: the front ends of the unitary construction of the Traction are called 'jambonneaux' (little hams), and the taillights of the Dyna Z had the nickname 'couilles de rhinocéros' (rhino's testicles), both names referring to a part of an animal...)

::) We are supposed to find new links between cars, but not necessarily new cars, am I right?

So 1998 Toyota Progres could be linked to 1955 Citroën 11 B Traction Avant, since both cars have a model name that refers to modernity (progressiveness; avant garde).

And for the 1955 version of the Traction Avant, Alexis Kow made an advert design with the slogan "Vérité bien ancrée, la Traction dompte la force centrifuge" ("Well anchored truth, the Traction tames the centrifugal force"). The same Alexis Kow made many designs for Panhard adverts and brochores, like this one of a 1956 Dyna Z. So Traction can be linked to Dyna Z because the same designer made adverts of both cars.
(There could be made another link: the front ends of the unitary construction of the Traction are called 'jambonneaux' (little hams), and the taillights of the Dyna Z had the nickname 'couilles de rhinocéros' (rhino's testicles), both names referring to a part of an animal...)


You are right...You can bring it back to a car already used.
Toyota Progres  and  Citroën 11 B Traction Avant 1955  both cars have a name that refers to modernity (progressiveness; avant garde).
Are you suggesting the next step?

1956 Panhard Dyna Z and the Ferrari 308 GTB. Both cars were introduced with bodies made of a lightweight material, and then switched to steel. The Dyna initially had aluminum bodywork, and switched to steel due to cost concerns. The Ferrari was first built with glass-reinforced plastic (or GRP) panels, and moved to steel later in the production run.

André Citroën's grandfather (a dutchman) was called Limoenman (Lemon man) because he sold lemons. He changed his name to Citroen (Dutch for lemon) to make it sound 'less jewish'. When André's parents moved to Paris, they still used the name Citroen, but when André had to be registered to go to school, this name was not accepted, because it was 'unpronounceable', André's father suggested to change it to Citroën, and that was accepted. So when André Citroën started his company his name was Citroën for many years already...
Very interesting, I´ve asked a lot of people in which language is the name Citroën and nobody knows, now I learn here in AP :)

The Nevering Chain is far too good to grind to a halt, so in the interests of keeping it moving, how about this for a tenous link;

Changcheng vehicles are made under licence in Iran under the DIAR brand name. 

Another vehicle made under licence in Iran for many years was the Peykan, an Iranian version of the Rootes/Chrysler UK Arrow series (Hillman Hunter, Humber Sceptre Singer Vogue, etc.)

It is, as I've said it's built in licence by DIAR in Iran, as is/was the Paykan.

 Changcheng Hafo CC 6460KY     and      ?           why ?
You start with the DIAR and link it with the Paykan, but the last one is not the license-built version.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Djetset on April 30, 2009, 05:03:20 AM
No need to apologise and perhaps I'm the one that's being slow. 

The Paykan was originally licence-built in Iran from a licencing agreement with the Rootes Group, signed in the mid-1960s.  The Paykan example I illustrated was probably not the best image as it's a late model that doesn't quite resemble any of the many facelifted Hillman Hunters, but it was the only picture I could find in a rush.  Perhaps I should have chosen another car built under licence in Iran, such as a Renault 5 or Citroen Dyane...  I was just keen to keep the Chain moving, as it seemed to have dried-up after the Changcheng link, berhaps because  the Hafo model illustrated was not the Jingling refered to in the link.  Anyway, hopefully we can keep the Chain moving and growing...
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on April 30, 2009, 05:16:30 AM
I'm glad that You want this chain to move, so let's do it well..
I know the PEYKAN (as it is reported in many sources) started with license-built Hillman.
I learnt now that Changcheng is built in Iran by DIAR.
The last car in this chain is the chinese-built Hafo CC 6460KY   and the link was referred to the manufacturer and not the specific model.
Now, I'm asking, which car can be directly connected with the chinese Changcheng (the brand or the specific model, as You prefer)?
My suggestion can be an Hillman, because You found out that both models are built under license in Iran, but this is your call (and I have to check the connection already used...).

Understood.  As I said, I did this in a real rush bettwen meetings.  So, let's go with the Hillman Hunter (as illustrated), which was also built under licence in Iran by Paykan (a.k.a Peykan) as is the Changcheng.  So...,

The Changcheng is made in Iran by DIAR
The Hillman Hunter was/is (in pick-up form) made in Iran under licence by Paykan
So, both cars produced under licence in Iran from other manufacturers

Ok, my first one finally, I hope I get it right :)

Hillman Hunter (1966-1979) and Argyll Turbo GT (1976-1990) - both cars share their model names with polish heavy metal bands (Hunter and Turbo).

I didn't think I was going to contribute to this thread, but I'm going to take a shot now. If this doesn't qualify for some reason, then just scratch it & move on!

Argyll Turbo GT and Allard P1:  Each make shares its name with a much earlier make from the same country.

(And if that's not specific enough, I believe both of the earlier makes started in 1899!)

Cool! But there's got to be a way to phrase that so it's clear that the earlier makes started in the same year as each other, but each in the same country as the later make.

(Saying the two Argylls are the same brand really sounds like a stretch, but then I didn't say "much earlier unrelated makes.")

Both brands are named after both their founders (Charles Stewart Rolls and Henry Royce - Cyrille Coutin and Pierre Desgouttes)
One of the founders of each company also produced cars under their own name (Royce and Desgouttes) before they founded the double-named brands with their partner.

Let's try this:

Cottin & Desgouttes:

In 1907, the company also produced a 9.5-liter, 30 hp, six-cylinder model, as well as a 2.5 liter, 12 hp model that was so well accepted by the public that is was produced without any major changes for more than four years.

Prima (France):

1906-1909 Ste des Automobiles Prima, Levallois-Perret, Seine

These cars were made by Leon Lefebvre who had previously been responsible for the BOLIDE. In 1906/07 two models were listed, a 9hp single-cylinder and 10/12hp 4-cylinder, and for 1908 the single was joined by larger fours of 12/15 and 20hp. Eash type was available on three wheelbases, and wide range of bodies was offered, tourers, doctor's coupes, limousines, landaulets, delivery van and trucks. They had unit construction of engine and gearbox, which was very advanced for the time. Two cars were entered in the 1907 Coupe des Voiturettes that did not distinguish themselves.

source: Beaulieu Encyclopedia Of The Automobile

The link: Both companies manufactured a model with very similar power units at (almost) the same time.

Cheetah is also the name of Tarzan's chimp companion, in the Johnny Weissmuller films at least.
In "Tarzan and his mate" there is also a character named Tom Pierce ( http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0025862/fullcredits#cast )

Before it became Pierce-Arrow, the famous brand's name was just Pierce.
So: 2008 Cheetah Coupe and 1907 Pierce Great Arrow 6 cyl.
Boths cars bear the name of characters from Tarzan movies (unfortunately I couldn't find a car named Jane or Tarzan).

Felber Excellence and 2005 Fisker Tramonto

Both cars are heavily based on production cars ‘Pontiac Firebird’ and ‘Mercedes SL 55 AMG’, most modifications concern the front and rear but both original cars are still clearly recognizable.  On top of that, both have a V8 engine, are made in a limited production run (12 and 150 cars) and the brand name under which they were sold is named after the companies founder.

Fisker Coachbuild designed a high end men’s watch for Danish company Rosendahl.

The K.O.7 was inspired by the TAG Heuer Grand Carrera watch, and has one mounted in its instrument panel.

(http://www.autopuzzles.com/ko7.jpg)

Connection: the designer of the first car was retained to design a watch, because the watchmaker was inspired by Fisker's cars. The designer of the second car was 'inspired' by a watch, which he incorporated into his car.

Cy-Car TigerCat 3V2 and the Australian-built Hot Rod Hawg. THough both are powered by motorcycle engines, I'm pretty sure we've used that before. The connection is each is designed and built with no engine cover.

We had this:
'Maserati Khamsin 1976  and  Rolls-Royce Silver Shadow  both cars have the same Citroen-patented hydropneumatic system'
but your connection is perfect.

Here we go again:

Yes, but it's phony.  ;D There is no Rue du Clos Hutin in Clamart (although there is one in Evreux, Normandy).
Of course I could try to remember which one of my neighbours possessed a GS, and what other car was, before and after, his pride and joy, but I am too lazy for this.
By the way, I have noticed that these relatively old Citroëns have their unconditional lovers. In a village next to where I live, a man has about eight GS rotting in his yard, and I've witnessed that with the CX also.

About your connection, Ray, I can see that you are not a fan of this game, but I don't think you will appreciate in your (very cool but for me unaffordable) 'art and cars' thread something like "Hey, I know him, that's my uncle Paolo, He currently drives a Ford Fiesta".. ;)

Hey, don't get me wrong, Paul: I have no grudge against this thread, and if there was some wit to my reply, it was friendly wit. I stopped playing at a time because I found it a bit boring to check all the already used connections (although you've remedied this). And, true, because I felt this was going towards connections as thin as the one I've proposed.
But I can appreciate a comic relief and I think I may have laughed myself sick if you had posted this "uncle Paolo" reply.

By the way: didn't you solve, and brilliantly, at least one of those "unaffordable" art and cars puzzles? Nothing is unaffordable to a good sleuth.

I't s fine...but it's easy to verify the connections from my list above, it takes few seconds..if the connection in your mind is between 2 cars, just check "both cars"...if it is something that they have in common "both cars heve the same" if it's about the manufacturers "both manufacturers" and so on...
About the consistance of them, it's up to you, you can prove your deep knowledge on a car (and someone really did) or just find something trivial...the only rule is that the connection have to define the car, that's why 2 white cars are not allowed (unless it was the only color available for they)...the easier way is to have a try.

1937 Peugeot 402 Eclipse and the Ford Model T

Each is commonly - and incorrectly - referred to as the first of its kind. Peugeot's retractable hardtop, "invented" by Georges Paulin, was preceded by Ben Ellerbeck's design as affixed to the Hudson Six in 1922. While Ford Ford's model T production techniques radically improved mass-production techniques, it was not the first car built on an assembly line. Ransom Eli Olds introduced assembly line production in 1902.

Let's see if this one works? 

The Ford Model T and Saab 99 Turbo. 

Both cars are famously (but incorrectly) known for only being available in one colour;  black. 

The Ford was offered in a wide range of colours (although most were black), and at launch the Saab 99 Turbo Combi Coupe could be ordered in metallic green or burgandy, as well as black (with black being by far the most popular colour choice).  Later two-door 99 Turbo models could also be had in white and red, as well as black.

... Ford Model T and Austin 7.

Versions of both of these 'peoples' cars were produced in the same countries; the USA, Great Britain, France and Germany. 

The Ford was built in many overseas plants, including Manchester (UK) and Cologne (Germany).  For the Austin this was made as the Bantam (USA), Austin (UK), Rosengart (France) and Dixi BMW (Germany).

The maker of each car - each of which was a the car-building arm of a company with a three-letter name - chose to name their cars with a Latin first-person statement.

BMW's DIXI = "I have spoken"

2007 Lincoln MKR & 2002 Ford Thunderbird - the latter was built on a Ford DEW platform, which has later become a basis for Ford D2C platform, used for an MKR. So, the connection is:

In case this connection goes in, I have a question: should I connect the next car to Uno Turbo Mk2 exactly or can I use simply Fiat Uno connection?
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: faksta on September 26, 2009, 02:59:07 PM
OK, I have found another connection, so that question does not matter much now :)

How about this?
Fiat Uno Turbo Mk2 - Connaught B - both cars officially wore only Pirelli tyres.

:lmao: 
We had this:
-Both cars:               are one-off,
                          are the high-output version of a standard model
                          are limited production based on production cars
                          are standard production models named after the body manufacturer
                          are concept cars\prototype used by books\movies\... characters
                          are coachbuilt specials based on a popular production car from a different continent
                          are factory-built 2-door pillarless coupes based on the regular 4-door sedan/saloon model
                          are woodies
                          are pick up versions of sedans also being offered
                          are missing of a part

but I think it's different here, it's not a car without a vital part like the Monocar and the Techno Daf without the lights!

So both are OK.

OK how about the 1950 Mercury and the London taxi, which is made by the Manganese Bronze group.
Both manufacturers are named after metals!

I don't want that a  Volkwagen wins this game so:

Karmann Typ 1 1965 and Lancia Aurelia B20 GT.

Both were designed by one coachbuilder (both Ghia) and built by another one (Karmann and Pininfarina [altough approx. the first 100 cars were made by Ghia themselves)
Title: Re: Neverending Chain

Sorry, but it is still very controversial who really did the design of the Karmann Typ 1 as there was a very similar DAF sketch clearly made by Michelotti.

So a slight change in my connection is needed:

Karmann Typ 1 1965 and Lancia Aurelia B20 GT.

Both were designed by one coachbuilder (both a designer who owned his own coach buider company (Giovanni Michelotti/Carrozzeria Michelotti and  Mario Felice Boano/Ghia) and built by another one (Karmann and Pininfarina [altough approx. the first 100 cars were made by Ghia themselves]

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...

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.

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...

And I'd vote for a Jhle Dixi which I found at Hotel Westin in Frankfurt.

The connection: both cars are shown at a place which is not a car museum or a technical museum, but there are some cars (at Artstetten there are two Graf-Stift automobiles, while at the Hotel Westin you can see a dozen classic cars)

So Otto's reply is the link?


If so, here is my answer...


1901 Celeritas Rennwagen and 1968 DAF formula 3

Both were racecars built by car manufacturers that also produced Trucks and Busses.

I think your answers were both valid and they arrived in the very same moment.
I can only say that Otto's reply appeared first (don't know why) and that's the only reason why I choose that.

1901 Celeritas Rennwagen and 1968 DAF formula 3  Both were racecars built by car manufacturers that also produced Trucks and Busses

...but it will give from 1 up to 5 points to who will find the last ring of this chain.
If no-one will be able to continue it without repeating an existing connection, points will be awarded:
Somewhere I wrote how I will decide if a connection will worth only one or 5 points:
5 points: only these two cars can be connected with this link (I used this example: a builder's son driving one car had an accident with the son of another builder)
4 points: very few cars may be connected in this way (like yours, about JFK and Archduke Franz Ferdinand of Austria)
3 points: not very direct
2 points: quite direct
1 point: quite easy (same name, same year, same builder, etc...)

1968 Lotus 49B and the Vels Parnelli VPJ6

The former was the first to use the Cosworth DFV in F1 racing. The latter was the first to use the turbocharged version of the engine - the Cosworth DFX - in the USAC Champ Car racing series.  Each engine went on to dominate its respective series for a number of years.

Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: metalshapes on December 23, 2009, 01:49:11 PM
Vels Parnelli VPJ6 and  Eagle T2G.

Both teams have the name of the owner in them ( Vels Parnelly and Gurney Eagle ), who were Hot Rodders that ( amongst other things ) raced Nascar, and both teams were active in F1 and Indy.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain

Eagle T2G and 1951 MG TD. Both are in museums with a name which starts with a "D".

 ;D  ;D

The TD was a real succes story...

I was at a Swapmeet and it was sitting on the ground with a sledge hammer leaning up against it, and a sign saying you could wack it with the sledge for a buck per blow.

The guy wanted to see it destroyed, and I had a hard time negotiating a price so i could take it home.

It was an old Drag car, and its now re-united with the son of the guy who used to own and race it...


when I bought the Morgensen spl, the guy I bought if from told me he was going to turn it into a Field Car, for his kids to play with.

I only later found out it was the missing and forgotten Special built by Dick Morgensen for Tracy Bird.
A full sistercar to the '54 Morgensen Plymouth spl. ( which later became famous as ol' Yeller, when Max Balchowsky owned it )

That sounds great, but the connection should somehow qualify these cars...it's not possible to use links such as 'this Yaris and this Focus because they are both grey', or 'these 2 cars because my parents had them'...
...but since it's Xmas time, and I like your cars, I think that 'both cars were saved and are under restoration by the same buyer (who is incidentally an AP member!)' will be fine!

I think that 'both cars were saved and are under restoration by the same buyer (who is incidentally an AP member!)' will be fine!

Then these might still not qualify.

I found and bought them both, but I only kept the Morgensen spl.

The former owners son is doing the MG...


Edit.

They were both found in Arizona...  Maybe that helps?

If not, I understand... ;)

But I thought that especially the MG TD was worth a mention, because I bought it under such bizarre circumstances.
And the family it was re-united with doesnt even live in this State....

If the Morgensen special holds true, then I have a connection.
Dick Morgensen was a Porsche-Volkswagen dealer.

So here we have a Hispano-Suiza Cabriolet by D'Ieteren, which was also later a Volkswagen dealer.

So the connection is: both cars were built by Volkswagen dealers.

No, it's a game and I did not have the time to reply...
for example this 'Eagle T2G and 1951 MG TD Both are in museums with a name which starts with a D' is on the edge...and the one about the Bentley coachbuilders is good, but the connection should be between the Bentley by XX and the Bentley by YY and not between XX and YY, that's why I slightly changed it.

But I know that sometimes these rules are only in my head and that's why I prefer to let go and to let the fun continue without being to strict about it.  ;)

BMC ADO15 "Mini" and 1967 Lamborghini Miura.

Both the Mini and the early Miura's had a transversely mounted engine that shared the engine oil with the gearbox it was mounted to ( if I remember correctly, the later Miura's did not because it gave them troubles.)

Both were designed by someone who was of Hungarian origin.

The Alfa Romeo was designed by Vittorio Jano, who was born as János Viktor to Hungarian parents who moved to Italy before Janos was born.
Maikafer was designed by Josef Ganz, whose father was German who married a Hungarian girl and Ganz was born in Hungary

You are right...we need an original connection between 1936 Tatra t-97 and 1939 KdF wagen to fix the missing ring: who want to try? (except Otto, he can't post 2 consecutive links)

Bantam "Jeep" Number One and the 1961 Jaguar E-type (# 77RW) that made its debut at Geneva.

Each was delivered in the nick of time, driven by one or more of its engineers.

On 23 September, 1940, Bantam engineers Harold Crist and Karl Probst drove the Jeep (called Number One, the Model Mk I or GPV) from Butler, PA to Camp Holabird, MD (230 miles) for delivery to the Army, arriving with only a half-hour to spare before the delivery time promised.

In 1961, Jaguar engineer Norman Dewis drove the E-type non-stop to get the car to the Geneva salon before the show opened.

1961 Jaguar E-type (# 77RW) and the 1965 Jensen P66.

Both Showcars ( The Jag at Geneva and the P66 at the London Motor Show ) linked by Martin Robey

He restored the Jaguar E-type #77RW , and he is also a Jensen Specialist (  he owns Jensen tooling, stock and archives that he bought when the factory went under )

Post by: Paul Jaray on January 07, 2010, 04:56:27 AM
I see the link with that Jaguar, but what connects Mr Robey with the P66 in particular?
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: metalshapes on January 07, 2010, 12:47:44 PM
Nothing with the P66 in particular...

Just that he is the Go-To guy for Jensens, and did the Jag.

But you are right, as a link that might not be enough.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: metalshapes on January 09, 2010, 12:16:44 AM
So to clarify some more...

No acctual link from Robey to the P66 that I know of, except for his involvement in all things Jensen.

I was trying to find any Jensen that was restored by his firm, but I couldnt find one.

The best I could find was a Jensen with Robey replacement parts on it.

So I decided to go for a Jensen that had been in a Motorshow to strengthen the link somewhat, but I realise its still not a great link.

I'll understand if its rejected...  ;D

Jaguar XJ13    and    Renault 177    because superstition seems to be real:      #13 is obviously the 'bad luck number' in Europe and indeed the XJ13 ended in an accident, whereas in Italy the bad luck number is #17, therefore Renault sold its 17 as 177 in Italy, and the shown car here is still alive (at least when the picture for this advert was made).

I'm enjoing your discussion, and I thought Otto's link is good.
I don't think Allan is challenging anyone (but I'm not speaking for him, since he can do for himself) and I appreciate his help to find the right ones.
Sometimes I tend to accept almost every connections because I trust them (for me Golf is Tiger Wood's 2nd sport, that's why there was the Golf ball on the shift stick, but different country may imply different meanings) and you may know more than me.
@Allan, thank you for your support but I'll also would like you to find new connections, besides supposed mistakes.  ;)

Nitpicking, but I guess Alan is right. You hardly find a Golf wind in any German dictionary.
Golfstrom ~ Gulf Stream (name giver of the VW Golf)
e.g Golf von Persien ~ Gulf of Persia = an ocean bay
and Golf sport (same spelling in both languages)

I know there are points at stake, but this is a game, 1st of all.
I'm glad Allan helps me with the tricky ones, because I can't know all, in all markets and in every languages.
In my language Golf is not a wind, I'm pretty sure VW had not in mind a wind for that name but the same word can be associated to a wind in German language, it seems.
In my language Zephiro is a gentle breeze, like a wind: that's why for me it was good.
I remember you all that we had connection like "both cars are named after polish heavy metal bands "!
I want to keep it serious, but not that serious:
@Allan: your remarks are precious, keep them coming (togheter with your connections)
@Otto: your link it's good, the meaning was right.
@All: it's a game, not a challenge.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Otto Puzzell on February 06, 2010, 04:41:13 AM
I never said Golf by itself was a wind, I said Golf was the German form of Gulf. The term "Golf" (or golfe) predated "Gulf"

Gulf: c.1300, from O.Fr. golfe "a gulf, whirlpool," from It. golfo "a gulf, a bay," from L.L. colfos, from Gk. kolpos "bay, gulf," earlier "trough between waves, fold of a garment," originally "bosom," the common notion being "curved shape," from PIE *qwelp- "to vault" (cf. O.E. hwealf, a-hwielfan "to overwhelm"). Latin sinus underwent the same development, being used first for "bosom," later for "gulf." Replaced O.E. sæ-earm. Figurative sense of "a wide interval" is from 1557. The Gulf Stream (1775) takes its name from the Gulf of Mexico.

As to the origins of the car's name being the Gulf Stream, it appears in a few different articles about the car. Here's an example.

Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Allan L on February 06, 2010, 04:55:37 AM
The USofA origin of that piece results in some strange statements.
He says that the Golf is the successor to the Rabbit but I believe that Rabbit was the Golf's name in North America. In about 1974 the Golf and the Polo were named after games - or will someone tell me that Polo was named after a toroid-shaped mint sweet?

Nothing strange about it. In the US, the car sold as the Golf most of the rest of the world, was launched as the Rabbit it its first iteration. Subsequent generations fell in line with the name used elsewhere - "Golf".

Now, here's a site from the UK - land of all that is correct and the font of unassailable and absolute truth - that references the origins of the Golf name:

http://www.1stchoice.co.uk/parts_vwgolf.htm

I eagerly await a response along the lines of "well, that's the internet, bla bla bla". Since the internet is the medium you are using to nay-say my statements, I suppose I should reject your arguments out-of-hand, as well.

Enjoy your mints.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Allan L on February 06, 2010, 07:08:55 AM
Who cars how they chose the name really?!

At least it gives me a chance to revive an old joke which was that the Polo was so-called because its price was high enough to make a hole in anybody's mint.

The black paint Ford used on the ModelT's was called Japan Black.

It was Asphalt based and fast drying.

So when the assembly lines got too quick for other color paints, they used Japan Black.

by the end of the '20s there were other types of paint that could keep up, and you could buy your new Ford in different colors again.

That is not valid...the connection has to be valid in general and the link can't be related to a specific exemplar.
Some exceptions can be done, like the 1st one built, a BMW Art Car, a prototype, a car that raced a specific race...etc, but I won't accept connections like "Fiat Punto e Lancia Lybra (both cars were owned by my uncle)" or "Renault Scenic and Citroen Xsara (both parked in front at that shop)".

Well the FW (=FeatherWeight) C/Climax was an 1020cc firepump motor but in about 1953 it was adapted for use in cars as the 1097cc FWA (=FeatherWeightAutomobile) and first raced at Le Mans in a Kieft in 1954. A 1460cc version was named FWB (I think B just came after A!) and the 1216cc FWE (=FeatherWeightElite) which used the bore of FWB and stroke of FWA was therefore the third generation of Automobile engine, so the firepump was getting a little remote.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: metalshapes on March 05, 2010, 12:33:33 PM
so the firepump was getting a little remote.

Sorry, I disagree...

It is clearly the same family of engines.

And for example, it still had had some Fire Pump quirks in its Elite version.
Like the high oil consumption.
( because a Firepump needs to be able to run flat out right away )

Jay Chamberlain tried to explain that away in a creative way, in some of his ads....

The Coventry Climax car engine is very closely related to the fire pump engine. I sold this engine a few years ago, it is now powering a Bobtail Cooper, The head and block are the same, just the internals and ancillaries are different.

I think you are all saying the same, Metalshapes found the connection between the 2 cars (They both had an engine which was not designed to power a car) that is correct because (as also Allan wrote) that engine was indeed born as a firepump. I think Allan was adding more details about the engine that, even if it was born as a firepump, was later developed and in its stage mounted on the Lotus, was remotely connected to a firepump...and that's why I proposed this chain, to learn such details!

Lycoming Special and the Steyr Allard.

Both vehicles are named after the engines that powered them.

Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: metalshapes on March 06, 2010, 02:01:10 PM
Steyr Allard, and the Allard Front Engined Dragster.

Both are Racers, built by Sidney Allard that had no cooling system on their ( foreign ) V8 engines.

The Austrian Steyr was aircooled but had no fans, which was fine for a Hillclimb Racecar.

The American Chrysler Hemi had no radiator, which was fine for a 1/4 mile Dragracer.

:shakehead:

You have not to justify your posts...as I wrote from the beginning, I can't know everything, that's why I rely on and I trust your connections.
If someone else disagree, well let's ear his opinion and then I'll decide...so far I accepted almost every connection I received (except for immaginary cars or connections already used).
That is a game, I like to keep it like that, if you'd like it too, let's play, if someone takes it serious, we'll accept every comment, but the decision will be taken according to the spirit of this chain: not the holy truth, but a fair and enjoiable game.

Good!
A quick refresh for our new members:
This is a chain, you have to find a car that can be connected to the previous one for a specific reason.
If this link is easy (same builder, same year, etc) it will worth 1 point, if you'll find a very rare and obscure connection it will worth up to 5 points.
Points go only to the last ring of it: to earn your point(s) the last ring of this chain should remain without a connection for 30 days.
You can use the same link only once.

Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Paul Jaray on March 31, 2010, 12:33:11 PM
Not quite.
You can take a look few pages behind, there is a list of all the connection already used and a list of all the cars.
To give you an idea, you can use easy ones (same manufacturer, same name, same country, same designer, both v12, etc) but there are very few left, or more accurate and original ones.
In any case the connection has to define the car in a certain way, you can't use 2 cars owned by your neighbour or 2 cars available for sale on ebay at the same price, but you can use 2 cars owned by the same pilot or by a famous person or 2 cars that were for sale at the same price from the beginning.

Take a look around, it won't take much.
Always keep in mind that it's a game and only points are at stake here, that's why I wouldn't be too strict.
Last thing: only cars...I would like to avoid buses,trucks, airplanes etc.

In the post above there are all the connections already used.
In the link below, the list of all the cars with those connections.

Who wants to be the next?
Since this one is going on for such a long time (January 01, 2009) from now on, points will go to the connection that will stand for two weeks!

It's an easy game, you just have to find a car that can be connected with the last one of the chain, the harder the connection is, the higher score you make.
If someone finds a car that can't be connected to any other car in the world without using again one of the links above, he gets the point.

Ford Pinto and Ford Mustang II.
Both had a prototype build on their respective chassis by the same design office (Ghia) in the same year (1975) , which had the same B-pillar-style. Both these prototypes did not make it to production.

(This is a try, not perfectly sure if it qualifies)

Nope, because the Abarth can be connectet to other cars than the Porsche (the 2nd in this chain).

The connection has to define the car.
The colour (already used BTW) is not a caracteristic of these cars, but they just share the same colour incidentally.
The uglyness of them has to be a well estabilished feeling (like the Aztec, the new Multipla, etc...)

Lamborghini Countach and the Len Terry designed LT24 by Leda Cars.

Both had an engine that was mounted lengthwise in the chassis, just ahead of the rear axle, with the power take off at the front.

Both had the power directed back with a driveshaft to mate up with the differential that was mounted behind the engine.

On the Countach.

Stanzani knew the big V12 would inevitably made the rear end heavier than the front, thus resulting in excessive oversteer and difficult handling. To make Countach more balanced, he created a new idea - placing the gearbox and clutch in front of the engine, that is, in the wide central tunnel between the driver and the passenger. There was another advantage: the linkage between shifter and gearbox was vastly shortened so that gearshift became more precise and effortless.
Nevertheless, there were some drawbacks. The output from the gearbox was transmitted back to the rear axle via a drive shaft locating underneath the engine, inside the sump. Inevitably, the engine had to be raised for a few inches to accommodate the drive shaft. As a result, center of gravity was raised, too.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: metalshapes on May 13, 2010, 10:34:41 PM
On the LT24.

LT24 SPORTS CAR.
This road car reached the first-prototype stage and covered over 2000miles of strenious testing, but unfortunately the project went into hibernation with the liquidation of Leda Cars in July 1972.

And.

Transmission from the engine to the clutch was by means of an enclosed roller-chain drive, an exposed( standard Zodiac) propeller shaft and a second identical chain drive, as shown in the accompanying schematic layout.

No problem at all..as you can see it can be restored at any time  ;).
There are few, simple rules: continue the chain, find always new connections, you can choose any (real) car you decide (even more than once), the connection has to define the car ('both cars are yellow' or 'my parents had both of them' are not valid ones) and you can not continue if you are the last ring unless a week is passed without any valid reply. If 2 weeks pass by without any other ring, the last one only get the points. Simple connections ('both cars have the same engine') get one point, hardest connections up to 5 point.

Since you seems to enjoy this chain, I'll spend few lines to explain, again, the point-system:

Generic link (same name-same builder-same year-both FWD- etc..):                              1 point. it can be used for thousands of different cars.
Harder link (model's name & driver's name- both production ended the same year- etc..)   2 points. can be used for different cars, but not many
Very hard link (both cars had a political assassinated in it- etc..)                                    3 points. few cars can share this link
Impossible link                                                                                                           4 points. probably only these 2 cars shares this link

It's just an example, since only the last one will get point(s) but it can give you an idea on which connections aim...

Yep.

Jeffries did the lettering & numbers.

Barris did the "Smoke and Mirrors" thing with his circus, and invented the myth that it was cursed...

Both these cars were made in car companies owned by E.L Cord, in the last year of their production.

( the last year of production is kind of close to a link I added recently, and the "owned by E L Cord" would not stand by itself.
So, PJ, please let me know if this one is OK or if we should keep looking for a better link...)

1937 Cord 812/SC and 1940 American Bantam Hollywood: Both cars were modified by Alex Tremulis to create entirely new models that initially were never approved by the owners of their respective companies.

(http://i652.photobucket.com/albums/uu248/gyronaut/AlexandBantam.jpg)
Alex Tremulis and the first Bantam Hollywood (1940)

Alex Tremulis on the 812/SC: Then E. L. Cord came to look at the Cord. He said, “My name happens to be on that car, how come I didn’t know about this?” I told him there wasn’t time. And I added, “I just figured I could do no wrong because you never objected to the ‘Wrath of Gods’ pouring out the sides of the Duesenbergs, so how could I go wrong with the two pipes on the sides here?”  Well, the car turned out to be sensational; we set records in sales, the highest record in sales in its history at the ten day automobile show.

Alex Tremulis on the Bantam: That afternoon a Bantam Coupe arrived. I got the shop guys in to work. Told them to get a torch and cut the entire roof off.  The next day Roy Evans came in and said, “I’ve changed my mind. You should have waited. You didn’t even have a contract, how do you know you are even going to get paid for this. Now you’ve wrecked a coupe.”

Simca Versailles and Range Rover.

Both were cars that were powered by an engine that was designed by one of the "big three" which ended up the property of an other one of the big three,
because of of deals and mergers with non US car companies.

The Simca had a licence built Ford V8 60, which though Simca became the property of Chrysler.

The Rover had a licence built Buick 215, which through BMW became the property of Ford.

Post by: barrett on July 05, 2010, 03:33:47 PM
Right lets try this:

Range-Rover > Citroen DS

Connection: Examples of both cars have (potentially) saved the lives of heads of state;

In 1981, a special bullet-proof Range-Rover 'popemobile' was built to project pope John Paul II after the assassination attempt the previous year.

in 1962, the Citroen DS carrying Charles De Gaulle was attacked, and the unique suspension design allowed the car to escape at high speed even after the tired had been shot out

How's that?

Mercedes-Benz 300SL and Triumph GT6 Mk1.
Both cars had the notorious swing-axle rear suspension, which led to frequent backwards trips into hedges (allegedly, since I've never driven either car!) due to the whole rear-end jacking up on lift-off in mid-corner (known, I believe, as extreme lift-off oversteer!)

Triumph GT6 Mk1 and Lotus 7 series 2.

 Mercedes-Benz 190SL and the 1975 Monica

Both makes are named after a womans firstname who both where not directly involved in the production of these makes, but where only related to those who where

 Mercedes named after Mercedes Jellinek, daughter of Emil Jellinek, the Austro-Hungarian consul in Nice, France, at the turn of the century.  He stared to race cars under the name of his daughter and raced a with a  Daimler Phoenix
He ordered 36 new Daimler race cars in 1900, who where to be designed to his wiches, with the demand they would be named Mercedes
The rest is history

 Monica was a brand of luxury cars created in France in the 1970s by Jean Tastevin, a French industrialist whose wife's name was Monica
Title: Re: Neverending Chain

We had the "named after  a lady connected with the dealer" some 19 months ago:

Mercedes 79\200 PS                     and      what car?                                                                       why?
1955 Swallow Doretti based on Triumph mechanical components.
The Mercedes "brand" was named after Mercedes Jellinek, daughter of Daimler's French distributor
The Doretti name came from the Italianisation of Arthur Andersen’s daughter Dorothy Dean’s name who was also Triumph’s distributor for Southern California and by all accounts was a stunning blond.
i.e. both named after young ladies, both of whom were daughters of the cars distributors.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: metalshapes on July 27, 2010, 02:53:59 PM

Found online.

"The earliest prototype Monicas were powered by a Ted Martin designed 3.4l V8 engine but later prototypes and the production model were equipped with a Chrysler 5.6 l (340 in³) V8 engine."

So that would make the 1975 car pictured Chrysler powered...


So what is the propper etiquette for this?

I was out of the country at the time so couldn't check my facts.  Couldn't remember if it was a Lawrence or Martin-designed engine (knew it was one or the other) so I plumped for Lawrence...

Home-grown because the development was (as you say) done in England, and Martin was a Brit; I always think of the car as Anglo-French.  It was very optimistic to fit an engine of their own design and think that's largely why the project failed.  So much money was spent designing it and trying to make it work that there wasn't enough left to develop the car properly once they decided to make do with an American engine.

I wasn't trying to spoil the connection; just making an observation.  Decisions are PJ's to make.

I didn't think you were,

Sorry if it came across that way.


I'm guessing this is the Martin engine that was a V8 which was partly based on the Kent?

Interesting engine, I saw one in parts in a box when I was buying used racecar parts for my Mallock in Dover.

One of its interesting features was that that the big ends forked around eachother so the banks ( and cylinder heads ) did not have to be offset.
Which made the engine shorter.

There was a Super Saloon Escort running with one...

BMW Glas 3000-V8 ’Glaserati’ and  1953 ’Studillac’ (Studebaker Commander Starliner with a Cadillac engine installed by Bill Frick Motors).
Both cars have two car brand names merged in their nickname.

1953 Studillac Studebaker Commander Starliner and the Horch car 5 HP model "Phaeton"

Both the founders of these companies have a background being blacksmiths before becoming car manufacturers.

Title: Re: Neverending Chain

Horch 5 HP Phaeton     and     Oldsmobile Curved Dash

because the founders of both makes, August Horch and Ransom E. Olds were dismissed by the companies board and started later a new make with their name in a different version (Audi and REO).
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Amsterdam on November 21, 2010, 04:30:31 PM
Oldsmobile Curved Dash and the TVR 3 1951

Founders of both makes founded a car make name wich was a abbreviation of there own name (Ransom Eli Olds REO and TreVoR Wilkinson TVR)

Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: DynaMike on November 21, 2010, 05:18:28 PM
TVR 3      and     Renault 7
as both cars have a model name that is the number of letters used in the brand name.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain

I wasn't referring to the photos that appeared just above my post, but to the Zephyr 4 that had been shown as having the spare wheel in the front. They were called Zephyr 4 or 6 (using a Cologne V4 and the Essex V6) in about 1967, but I have no recollection of the Mk IV designator - but then I wasn't interested in Fords then either.

Time to jump in.
This is a game, nothing more, nothing less.
Thank you Allan for pointing us to the right direction when it gets too imprecise.
metalshapes, don't give up...this thread is just for fun.
Usually I'm not too strict on this thread for 2 reasons, the 2nd is that I do not know more than you all about each car and I tend to rely on what you write.

The 1st reason is written on the 2nd line of this reply.

Citroen DSuper and Ford Zephyr Both cars have the spare wheel in front of the engine bay.

If you do a search for Zephyr Mk4 that exact car comes up, multiple times.

Its the 4th version.

Models 3008 / 3010E.

It seems to me that the first requirement of a correction is, that its more accurate than the statement its correcting.


Otherwise, its just stifling progress and confusing matters.




This is a game, nothing more, nothing less.



I agree...
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Allan L on December 22, 2010, 02:52:22 AM
Right let's get this straight: Carnut tells me that the Zephyr 4 and Zephyr 6 were collectively known as the Zephyr Mk IV, and as I have always known the one posted by DeAutogids as the Zephyr Mk III I am happy to accept that.
What was going on, back up this thread, was cross purposes as my original point about the Zephyr 4 appeared below the DeAutogids Mk III and despite the fact that I quoted what I was referring to, that got missed (by DeAutogids in his post just after that one of mine - understandable of course).
I'm sorry if Metalshapes is upset, but perhaps, living in the USofA, he doesn't remember these appalling cars which Ford in Britain sold in the 1960s. As for corrections being "more accurate than the statement it's correcting" most of us believe we are doing so at the time and although it may confuse if we are not, I hope we can all accept with good grace that we can be wrong.

As PJ said, it's only a game so we won't get too excited about this.
But just for my 2 penn'orth:

DeAutogids was incorrect in his connection because he pictured the Mk III Zephyr 6 (the Mk IIIs were known as either Zephyr 4 or Zephyr 6 depending on the number cylinders they had) when Yves's car showed the Zephyr Mk IV (completely different cars which were never known as 4s or 6s whether they had the V4 or V6 engine and which said 'Ford' across the front, not 'Zephyr' anyway!)

However, all this is irrelevant because PJ has re-set the car at the Zephyr Mk IV anyway so all the subsequent Replies don't count!

So we need a connection with the Zephyr Mk IV now to continue the game...

Usually I'd like to connect the same car, but as you can see, there is often a nice connection between the makers, the founders, the badges, etc, were the model is not that relevant at all.
In this case, we took the right direction.  ;)

that is nice, Wendax, but it doe sn't work like that.
It has to be a connection that defines the car or can be applied in general.
You can't post 2 cars you owned or two cars with the same colour or parked in the same street unless the owner is a known\famous personality, they were available only with that very colour, or that cars in that street are in the cover of a CD...those ore only examples of course.

Please don’t do that! If you can accept a link that connects the manufacturers only, and not the actual cars themselves, I think I have a suggestion to make it go on:
Belsize 10/12 and Hotchkiss 617 Roadster-Cabriolet. During their last years both companies made an unexpected move, introducing a line of new and, at least for their standards, rather unorthodox cars, designed by, and also named after, a well-known and innovative engineer of their respective country (Granville Bradshaw → Belsize-Bradshaw, 1921-25; Jean-Albert Grégoire → Hotchkiss Grégoire, 1950-53).

NSU TT and AJS Nine Saloon; both cars were produced by a manufacturer whose motorcycles had earlier scored a 1-2-3-4 victory at the same event.

In the 1954 Tourist Trophy on the Isle of Man NSU took the first four places in the 250 cc division; the same feat was performed by AJS thirty-three years earlier in the Junior class.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Wendax on March 13, 2011, 10:42:40 AM
AJS Nine Saloon and Opel Kadett Lieferwagen, because both companies built vehicles named Admiral and Commodore. AJS built buses with that model designation, Opel upper-class cars.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain
Post by: Ehhxekt on March 14, 2011, 06:20:44 AM
Opel Kadett Lieferwagen and Triumph Vitesse Estate. Both model names were introduced and, after an interval of more than two decades , re-introduced, the same year.

Both Kadett and Vitesse names had previously been used by the manufacturers on a pre-war model, introduced in 1936: Opel released Kadett in December that year, Triumph’s new Vitesse Saloon was presented at the Paris Motor Show two months earlier. Both models were soon discontinued, with no post-war successor to carry the name until 1962, when the Kadett A and the six-cylinder Vitesse were unveiled.
Title: Re: Neverending Chain

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.

The radiator area of the ’34 Speedster was modified by its creators, Edsel Ford and E. T. Gregoire, in 1940, the Jet1 was given a new nose job in 1952, just two years after its introduction.

VW 1500 Typ 3 Cabriolet and Ford Comète Cabriolet. Both cars are convertibles based on a two-door sedan model of the company, developed but never produced.
Although officially advertised in the early sixties, the pretty VW 1500 Cabriolet never went into mass production. Neither did the Comète Cabriolet, of which only two prototypes are known to be built.

But, like all the good things, this final act has to be special...and here's the new rule:

From now on, starting from BIGNAN AL, each one of you is allowed to post more than 1 car in the same reply, continuing this chain alone as long as you can, in order to steer this chain toward a car you think will be undefeatable. After each post, please, wait for me to check it before adding a new series of links.

The AMC Pacer an Saab 96 V4.

Both cars were originally planned to use engines that were never actually fitted to the final production versions; a Wankel rotary engine in the Pacer (built by Curtiss-Wright), and the Lancia Fulvia V4 motor in the 96 V4 (which Saab then rejected as Lancia's lowest ex-works price made it too expensive to fit in the car and keep the retail price competitive).

Now the points.
both coupes that were introduced before their sedan counterparts
Not a generic connection, not an impossible one.
I think there are few cars that can be connectd this way (the Giulietta is the 1st to came to my mind) but not many.

1 point: generic link, can be used for thousands of different cars
2 points: harder link, can be used for different cars, but not many.
3 points: very hard link, probably there are other cars that can use the same link but it's unlikely
4 points: impossible link, only these 2 cars can use this link

2 points for you!
