A variation on a theme, but this time I needed only two images to upload..

Please match the cars with the places. As usual one point for each correct pairing!
Only complete ID'd cars and locations will win!

Hope this puzzle is a little more difficult than the last one.
Wendax solved it almost alone, so, roll your sleeves up!

Not bad! "Mikasa Car" needs a little more, though. Locked for you untill your next reply.

I have another name for it. Not Service Car.

Allemano · July 06, 2011, 02:31:45 PM

I've done a little research now and it seems that you are right after all!

Siata1 · July 06, 2011, 02:37:32 PM

Would you accept Mark I?

Why?

barrett · July 07, 2011, 10:27:06 AM

Because I can't match any of the cars that I recognise to any of the places, simple as that! If I didn't know any of the cars it wouldn't be so frustrating!

JMC · July 07, 2011, 11:00:26 AM

#4 - 1938 Sodomka bodied streamlined bus on a Ford chassis comissioned by Bata
