SOLVED - NTM #59 - Reverse Gear (Part 3)
« on: December 23, 2011, 11:13:46 AM »
A variation on the themes found in my previous two puzzles.

No points for guessing the theme, but once you know it, guessing cars will be easier.

As usual, I am only concerned with the make name -- not models, technical details, etc. Also, there may be reposts.

More to come!

Tossing this to the Pros next because it's probably the 2nd easiest. No doubt it will be devoured quickly...

What, do you have every antique car in the world memorized or something?  8)

Just for the heck of it, can you give a little info to distinguish between the two Ottos?

Well, I didn't find car #7.  ;D

The first Otto (car #2) is the French one, built by Sté Générale des Voitures Automobiles Otto in Paris, while the second one (car #4) is the American one built by the Otto Gas Engine Works in Philadelphia.

I don't think I can justify spending the money on that. I don't suppose someone could post the pic?

Quite hard to scan from such a thick book, but here's a little slanted view:

I wish it could have been an actual part of the puzzle, but thanks!
