Solved: Paradise by the dashboard light
« on: June 24, 2011, 05:28:27 PM »
Time for another group puzzle.

Seven dashboards and seven pictures representing some kind of paradise for some people. Find the connections.
In order to gain a point you have to identify the car the dashboard comes from, find the connected "paradise" picture as well as the reason why they match.
Have fun!

Dashboard 7 : Steyr 2000 A Grand Vue
                    Connection: Paradise 3 (Town square of Steyr, Austria)
                    Reason why they match: Steyr was a manufacturer based in Steyr, Austria.

Don't give up!
The connection is not always "the name of the car matches the name of the paradise".

Okay, I am not sure on this one so I will have to take a wild guess.

Dashboard 1 : 1934 Porsche Typ 32 -> Paradise 4 (Leonberger dogs)

Reason why they match: The Leonberger breed's name derives from the city of Leonberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Porsche is a manufacturer based in Stuttgart, which is the capital of Baden-Württemberg.

You are right with the dashboard as well as the dogs, but it is the wrong connection.

Dashboard #1 is the NSU Type 32 from 1934. NSU began as a knitting machine manufacturer in the town of Riedlingen, a town in the district (Kreis) of Biberach, Baden-Württemberg, in the south-west of Germany.

Paradise #4 is a group of the Leonberger breed of large dog. The breed's name derives from the city of Leonberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.

I guess the Leonberger dogs (paradise#4) match the (probably 1st series 1984-1991) Isdera Imperator 108i (dashboard #5). Eberhard Schulz founded Isdera 1982 in Leonberg.

First I was confused about the instruments (taken by Porsche) and the position of the key-lock (also like Porsches). But then I took one of my old books and found a high-angle shot of the Buchmann BB CW311. The Buchmann Mercedes CW 311 remained an one-off and had a different steering wheel with "BB" initials, but the overall shape of the dash looked very similar. Finally the Isdera Imperator 108i which succeeded the CW311 did the trick*.

Very little German was needed in this case.. ;D

*I hope it's even right..  :-\

I like your present participle of Dingolfing  :D

Yes, you are right about the connection between Dashboard #2 (Glas V8) and Paradise #5 (Herzogsburg Dingolfing).

Well recognized, but wrong connection.

Further hints could have been the shape of the windshield and the non-visible open door (gullwings!).  ;)
