The most obvious is that H and 15 is the same picture.
-
A and R go together.
-
I would say R is Marseille Vieux Port....
-
I would say R is Marseille Vieux Port....
I could be wrong!
;D
-
Well this certainly looks interesting. I've got nothing so far, but shards and bits to go on. I do have a question: are we to match letter to number or letter to letter and number to number?
-
Either or both - mix and match
-
The most obvious is that H and 15 is the same picture.
Oops!
Fixed now.
-
A and R go together.
Good guess, but no.
-
K and 4 : they are both North American versions of European hatchbacks.
-
H and 12 : Austin Ant and an anteater
-
K and 4 : they are both North American versions of European hatchbacks.
I hadn't thought of that connection, but I'll accept it as one.
-
H and 12 : Austin Ant and an anteater
Close, but no.
-
I & 7?
-
K and M - Mercury Lynx and Sausage Links
-
I & 7?
What is the connection?
-
K and M - Mercury Lynx and Sausage Links
Yes! :)
-
K and M - Mercury Lynx and Sausage Links
Yes! :)
In that case K and 14
Mercury Lynx
Lea-Francis Lynx

G & 10

5 & 6? Sapphire and Topaz - both gem stones?
-
5 & 6? Sapphire and Topaz - both gem stones?
Those both sure look like a Tempo and a Merkur to me.
They do however share the same 4x108mm wheel bolt pattern! ;D
-
Well the rest of the world didn't get a Merkur. In GB, what was known as the Merkur here, they were the Sierra and Sapphire.
That said, if that was a European Merkur, it would be a Sierrra, not a Sapphire. So either way, I am wrong.
But if I was right, it would have been cool. So I have that going for me.
-
Scratch that too. The Scorpio was other Merkur. So I was incorrect while I was being wrong.
I still say if I was right, it would have been cool.
-
5 & 6? Sapphire and Topaz - both gem stones?
No :(

Good catch! I hadn't thought of that one... :D

Yep! ;)
-
Is the a "stormy" link between A and L?
I do know A, but donīt know the function of L...
-
Dunno about L, but I'd say there's stormy involved with Q. It's a Tornado Typhoon.

:lmao: Well if that counts we can add the Mercury Lynx - same bolt pattern too. (my Seven has 4x108mm which is why I know). 8)
-
All right, let's not go overboard! ;)

Not that I know of...

Don't give up now - who's that guy with Liz?
-
Thnks for the fun and may I proffer 5 Ford Tempo + 16 Tempo Matador + D AMC Matador
And E Edsel Corsair + 8 Phantom Corsair

More points for the new guy! ;D
-
Don't give up now - who's that guy with Liz?
I *think* that's Rock Hudson, from "Giant". So there's a Hudson to be found...
-
B goes with Q, I think, as B is the TIV Tornado InterceptVehicle and Q is the british Tornado car.
1 goes with 7 and perhaps with 3, as 1 is the Italdesign Marlin, 7 the AMC Marlin and 3 is a Rolls-Royce Merlin engine
C goes with P,as the shadow C is the name of the Rayton Fissore Shadow P
A goes with 8 as A is a Chevy Monte Carlo and 8 is the Skoda Popular Sport Montecarlo

Phantom Corsair ??? If this is it, how do you call that one:

Not Rock Hudson

2 out of three... ???
C goes with P,as the shadow C is the name of the Rayton Fissore Shadow P
Nice! :D
A goes with 8 as A is a Chevy Monte Carlo and 8 is the Skoda Popular Sport Montecarlo
Uh-huh. :D
-
Phantom Corsair If this is it, how do you call that one:
My bad. I can't always ge the pics to load from the office, and was working from my age-addled memory.
Sorry, all. :-[
-
My goodness, you guys are racing through these - and finding connections that hadn't even ocurred to me!.
-
Perhaps our new members can find some more connections... ???
-
OK, pros - wrap this one up.
-
I suggest to fill alist with the correct answers. So try to complete this one

I: Bobby Allison goes with 3: Allison V1710-F aero engine
H: Austin Ant goes with 12: The Ant and the Aardvark
O: Chrysler 72 goes with G: '72 Buick Riviera
9: Sunbeam Harrington Le Mans goes with O: Chrysler 72, 1928 Le Mans participant
And as this is a silly puzzle:
J: Liz Taylor (with Nicky Hilton) goes with car #17, as both were subject of a nose job ;D
-
:bump: ;)
-
Sorry, Wendax. I'll dive into this one a bit later this week. I'm spending a lot of time on a job hunt right now.
-
No problem, sir. Sometimes there are things that are even more important than AutoPuzzles. ;)

And as this is a silly puzzle:
J: Liz Taylor (with Nicky Hilton) goes with car #17, as both were subject of a nose job That's silly times two :thumbsup:
-
I'll go through all three pages again, but I think this one is done. Once I'm sure, I'll dole out the points.
-
I and 13 are racing car drivers
-
Ah-ha! Good one. :thumbsup:
-
F and L match: Ishikawajima MR 1 and British Aerospace Nimrod MR 1
-
I and 13 are racing car drivers
BTW, #13 is Anthony Davidson
-
So far we have:
A: Chevrolet Monte Carlo
B: TIV Tornado Intercept Vehicle
C: A shadow
D: AMC/Armbruster Matador Limousine
E: Edsel Corsair
F: Ichikawajima MR1
G: 1972 Buick Riviera
H: Austin Ant
I: Bobby Allison
J: Liz Taylor and Nicky Hilton
K: Mercury Lynx
L: British Aerospace Nimrod MR1

P: Rayton Fissore Shadow
Q: Tornado Typhoon
R: French Riviera

4: The picture has gone, but must have been a US version of a European hatchback.
5: Ford Tempo
6: Merkur XR 4 Ti
7: AMC Marlin
8: Skoda Popular Sport Montecarlo
9: Sunbeam Harrington Alpine
10: Dr. Nick Riviera

The matches found so far:
A-8
B-Q
C-P
D-11
D-5-16
F-L
G-O
G-R-10
H-12
I-3
I-13
J-17
K-M
K-4
K-14
N-7
O-9
1-7
2-6
5-6
This leaves E, the Edsel Corsair, as the only unmatched picture.
-
So my guess would be that #17 was called Corsair, matching #E, the Edsel Corsair. Am I right?
-
I'm going to have to set some time aside to sort through these. Thank you for your continued patience.
-
I've just noticed something strange. A to R is 18 pictures. Then we have 1 to 17. That totals to 35 - an odd number.
So there must be one picture unmatched, or one picture matched to two others.

Any of these pictures can be paired with one or more other pictures.
I'm moving this one to solved, and will add up the points soon.
-
How come no-one linked H and 13 - Austin Ant & "Ant" Davidson?! Or did I just miss it going through the answers?

:bump: ;)
So my guess would be that #17 was called Corsair, matching #E, the Edsel Corsair. Am I right?
Well, #17 is the Plymouth Tornado (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=4147.0;topicseen). So the match is #17 - B: TIV Tornado Intercept Vehicle.
Don't know what is matching the Edsel Corsair then ???
-
Soon 8)
-
...
-
Before the year is over, for sure. ;)
-
As noted, nothing matched the Corsair. This puzzle was stated 2 computers and 3 jobs ago, so whatever structure I had in mind is long gone. I've awarded points as follows:
SeaLion 1
ecurie 1
Arthur Dent 2
Allan L 1
Stephen M 1
vague 1
grobmotorix 3
Wendax 6
DeAutogids 1
ImpishGrin 1

Thank you and a Happy New Year!
