Rolls-Royce Phantom II 1931 and a 1949 Packard Convertible Coupe.

The former company designed and built aircraft engines that were also built under license by the latter. Rolls Royce (Merlin) engines were built under license by Packard in WWII, to power P51 Mustang fighter planes.

Nickname of the Packard (Pregnant Elelphant) was hood ornament on the 1931 Bugatti Royale...

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #154 on:** January 30, 2009, 12:08:15 PM »

The Royale ornament was a Pregnant Elephant?!?

Ray B. · « **Reply #155 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

Ray B. · « **Reply #156 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.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #157 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!

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!

Cadillac Seville and Arnolt Bristol

Ross Bagdasarian (AKA David Seville of “Alvin and the Chipmunks” fame), played “Tani Ritter” in the movie The Devil’s Hairpin, which featured an Arnolt Bristol, among other cars.

faksta · « **Reply #161 on:** January 30, 2009, 04:28:01 PM »

Arnolt Bristol and Sokol-650. In 1957 the movie called 'Rivalen am Steuer' was shot in DDR, featuring among the others 1952 Sokol-650 cars (aka Awtowelo 650).

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.

Sorry, I forgot Ray has already used this connection... Nevermind then, reject Sokol entry please.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #166 on:** January 30, 2009, 05:38:33 PM »

I'm afraid I can't, you have 24 hours to change it or to prove it right, after that I will have to take 1 point of yours away...I'm sure you can find a link between the Arnolt Bristol Bolide and the Sokol or another car, there are still a lot of easy connections out there and I really do not want to take any point to anyone.

faksta · « **Reply #167 on:** January 30, 2009, 05:52:48 PM »

Let's say both cars were built around other company's idea. Arnolt was a Bristol, while Sokol/Awtowelo borrowed many things from Auto Union.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #168 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.

faksta · « **Reply #169 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:17:53 PM »

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.

Paul Jaray · « **Reply #170 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:35:57 PM »

Ok, that is good!
Arnolt Bristol Bolide 1953 and Awtowelo Type 650 "Sokol" 1952 both cars derived from other cars

DynaMike · « **Reply #171 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:38:52 PM »

They were even derived from other pre-war cars (Auto-Union racer and BMW 328)

faksta · « **Reply #172 on:** January 30, 2009, 06:45:04 PM »

Well, basically, yes...

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #173 on:** January 31, 2009, 04:17:13 AM »

Awtowelo Type 650 "Sokol" 1952 and The Rob Walker Racing Lotus 18 Formula One car with which Stirling Moss won the 1961 Monaco Grand Prix.

An example of each rests in the Donington Grand Prix Collection museum, Leics., UK.

Ray B. · « **Reply #174 on:** January 31, 2009, 05:16:56 AM »

Now there's an easy one that's never been used, right?
Lotus 18 Formula One and Ferrari 625. Both cars won the Monaco Grand Prix (the Ferrari, with Maurice Trintignant at the wheel, in 1955)

I believe that this thing is really NEVER gonna end.
