Are 3 of the cars named after an animal, and is the Apple the odd one out?

OK, let's have a go at this.

I think Fixit 2, the 1920 HCS Touring Car is the odd one out, as with the other three, the make (or at least part of it) also appears in the title of a song with music composed by Burt Bacharach.

Fixit 1: Pope-Toledo, 1905 or 6, and the song Toledo (Bacharach/Elvis Costello).

Fixit 3: Apple 8 and the song As Long as There's an Apple Tree (Bacharach/Hal David), and

Fixit 4: Fox Touring Car and the song After the Fox (Bacharach/David again).

The illustrations which give the generous clue are from the book Right Dress: Success Through Better Grooming (1955) by Bert Bacharach, who was Burt's father.

I'm not too sure where the Cookie Monster fits in, but I don't think that was part of the question, was it? :)

Cookie Monster was used only as a reference to a popular regular feature on Sesame Street

You have used well the clues from the books written by Burt's dad. As the Cookie Monster says, You're absolutely right! You're so smart :)
