The grain elevators on #3 are in El Reno, which makes it a pair with #8.

Good

Is #2 a Smith from #1 Topeka, Kansas?

No

This would be a nice tour from Chicago to Oklahoma (following very roughly the eastern part of Route 66?).

Ah-hah! You've jumped ahead, but your answer is not quite right.

#1 shows Los Angeles city hall. Is #2 the Tourist, built in L.A.?

The correct order is then:
(12,5)
(10,9)
(14,7)
(4,13)
(6,11)
(8,3)
(2,1)

Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles

BTW, the car in picture #1 is a 1959 Chevy Impala, of course.

Wow - with the exception of one pairing, you got them all, and the follow up question, too! Well done.  :thumbsup:

That's a Bel Air, according to my records, but no worries - the location was the key.

I'll tally the points later on

Amazing.  Wendax seems to know every place in the US, besides from every car.

Once I had the idea of following the Route 66, it was much easier.  :D
But to reassure you, I don't know many places in the US. Some 30 years ago, I spent a year in Oklahoma as an exchange student, but didn't travel a lot then. But Google Street View is an amazing tool to identify places if you have an idea where it could be.  ;D

I didn't score at all, but nevertheless: that was a very nice idea for a group puzzle.
