In more on less one month in Rookie and expert sections, I received no proposal or comments, and you, in pro section, 4 minutes and you have it... ;)

Thank you Bertrand.  One benefit of leaving a puzzle in the Rookie and Expert sections for an extended period is that it gives the Pros time to do the required research.  Then, when the puzzle is moved up, it becomes a race to see who can file his answer first.  Today I happened to be in the right place at the right time.  Of course a Rookie or Expert could answer correctly before the puzzle is moved up, and the research expended is to no avail.  Still, the research effort is not in vain, as it adds to one's store of knowledge in answering future puzzles.

Bertrand, you were up early today, weren't you?  ;D
I was waiting for this one, too, but Spence got it again.

BTW, it is the 1925 car, not the 1926 one.

You are correct Gerd.  My research notes say 1925, not 1926.  I must have "fat fingered" the 6 and didn't even notice.
