Topic: (almost) Solved: Around the World in a Puzzle

[Allemano]

I'm afraid this will be my last GEO puzzle as it's not easy to find appropriate cars..

In this puzzle again the names of the cars are linked with the names of the places.
As usual one point for each correct match. Only complete answers will win!
Awarding of score will be at the end of the game.

I've tried to make it not too easy and I reckon I was successful...  

Enjoy!

Right car, but wrong place. Sorry!

10 - Ritz cyclecar
P - Ritz Hotel in London

Sorry, that's close but not correct. Give it another try. Locked until your next reply.

Oh, I see -- it's the Hotel Ritz in Paris, not the London one.

They look rather alike!

That was no surprise anymore... 

All correct so far, but not entirely right!

I lock it for you to specify some of your guesses:
#12 I have a different company name and a slightly different spelling of the designation.
#20 I need a bit more than that...

#11 is an Empire Sabre, matching C: the Empire State Building in New York.

Correct!

I think #4 is a Jordan, made in Cleveland, Ohio, which would match picture S: a photo of the River Jordan by Karimeh Abbud, also known as "The Lady Photographer".

Very good! Would you please specify your guess about the car? Locked for you until your next reply.

#20 I need a bit more than that...

Car #20 is a Ford Eifel Sport Cabriolet, body by Gläser, built from 1936 to 1937

That's enough for a point!

#12 I have a different company name and a slightly different spelling of the designation.

On the web it is sometimes called "Royal Saber", but I think "Royale Sabre" is correct:

To be honest, my guess about the Jordan was based entirely on the pattern of louvres on the side of the bonnet. I had the picture below of a 1929 six-light sedan which seemed to match.

But looking around, that two-tone paint job seems to match the Jordan Eight Speedboy model, also of 1929, and it looks like the dual-cowl phaeton body.

hmmm... I'm afraid this is not the same car, though it's a perfect copy... My car wasn't sold in the UK.

I have a quite simple name for that Jordan and a different year. You're welcome to give it another try.

Every time I find a picture that seems to match car #4, it's called a Speedboy, dating from 1929 to 1931. I think it was also known as Model G, but if that's wrong I'll have to give up.
