Thanks, guys.. This has been a hoot!

I'm going to ease off of the regular posting of puzzles now. I'll still construct and post group puzzles from time to time. I intend to spend more time on features, and occasionally, solving a puzzle here or there.

You're both part-way to a point. Who will put it all together, with the missing (not-so-obvious) connection?

the connection could be the prototype Renault 900 from 1959.
It is a concept car with similar design...???

Are the two Innovaris based on Toronado drivelines?

I don't think so, but they might.

The connection, other than the two cars, is non-automotive.
