OK, pros - wrap this one up.

I suggest to fill alist with the correct answers. So try to complete this one

Wendax · « **Reply #52 on:** April 05, 2012, 07:26:37 AM »

2: Mercur Ego 4/14 PS goes with 6: Merkur XR 4 Ti

D: AMC/Armbruster Ambassador Limousine goes with 11: Parikh Ambylimo, as both are stretched Ambassadors

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

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.

I: Bobby Allison goes with 3: Allison V1710-F aero engine

H: Austin Ant goes with 12: The Ant and the Aardvark (Already ID'd)

O: Chrysler 72 goes with G: '72 Buick Riviera That's quite silly - so it's worth a point.

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 That's silly times two

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

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #59 on:** April 17, 2012, 10:39:56 AM »

BTW, #13 is Anthony Davidson

Wendax · « **Reply #62 on:** May 17, 2012, 11:28:36 AM »

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
M: Sausage links
N: Marlin Perkins
O: Chrysler 72
P: Rayton Fissore Shadow
Q: Tornado Typhoon
R: French Riviera

1: Italdesign Marlin
2: Mercur Ego 4/14 PS
3: Allison V 1710-F aero engine
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
11: Parikh Ambylimo
12: Ant & Aardvark
13: Anthony Davidson
14: Lea-Francis Lynx
16: Tempo Matador
17: Some strange homebuilt car

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.

Wendax · « **Reply #63 on:** October 16, 2012, 07:05:10 AM »

So my guess would be that #17 was called Corsair, matching #E, the Edsel Corsair. Am I right?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #64 on:** October 16, 2012, 09:09:34 AM »

I'm going to have to set some time aside to sort through these. Thank you for your continued patience.

D-type · « **Reply #65 on:** October 21, 2012, 11:21:48 AM »

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?

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

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #69 on:** November 06, 2012, 09:55:36 AM »

Soon

Before the year is over, for sure.

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #72 on:** December 31, 2012, 05:16:41 AM »

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
