Topic: Neverending Chain, now closed!

[Paul Jaray]

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...

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

[Otto Puzzell]

What a great idea, Paul! 

Porsche 718 RSK
Studebaker Project Z-87, engineered by Porsche

[Paul Jaray]

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...

[Otto Puzzell]

Well, one of us will 

[Otto Puzzell]

Geez - nobody has a Studebaker connection? That's inconceivable! 

[Ray B.]

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.

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

Ahem!
The 1955 Porsche Spyder was still the 550
The 718 RSK didn't arrive on the scene until 1958

[Paul Jaray]

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?

[D-type]

Because I can't post pictures (no knowledge + no scanner)

[Paul Jaray]

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.

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.

[Allan L]

OK to follow the Studebaker Dictator, I shall offer a Car once owned by a dictator (Mussolini):
Alfa Romeo 6C 2300 Pescara 1935

[Paul Jaray]

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.

[ImpishGrin]

I must admit I don't understand the rules of this puzzle. For what do I get a point?

[Paul Jaray]

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.

[Otto Puzzell]

Me no like.

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)

It's your puzzle - I was just grumbling. No need to change your scoring system. 

[Otto Puzzell]

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.

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.

[Paul Jaray]

That's terrific, but where's the car related to the Auto Union?

[Ray B.]

It's no concern of mine, I know, but it could be this...

[faksta]

Good one, Ray!!     '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.

[Paul Jaray]

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?
