Crikey, my map's getting a bit dog-eared...
They're both south of there!

Is one of the locations in an area delineated by Baseline Rd, Maricopa Fwy, Pecos Rd and a virtual vertical line linking both parts of 32nd St ?

Having trouble with this one as the Maricopa Freeway seems to be a long way north of both Baseline Road and Pecos Road, so doesn't border any area that the other two roads might border.  Three of the roads seem to run east-west with the only road you mention that runs north-south being 32nd street.

OK, I had the Maricopa Freeway as Route 17 to the north of Salt River, but maybe it's also Route 10, which would make it the eastern boundary of your box.

The premises are not in that box but you're getting much closer!

One of the locations is south (though not due south) and the other is to the east.

Perhaps you're right; not being fully familiar with Phoenix (although I have been there..) I thought they were just districts of Phoenix, but whilst they call themselves ********** Phoenix, looking at the addresses one has a Tempe AZ address and the other has a Chandler AZ address...

SpeedEvil project by Mihael Merkler, published in January 2014. Meant to be powered by a supercharged 6.2-liter V8.

One of the zillion projects/renders/sketches published on LocalMotors website.

1 point almost doesn't seem to be enough after all that effort!
Got there in the end.

Searching for cars made in Phoenix inevitably led to LocalMotors but as it was stated that the company was located in Phoenix itself and not its suburbs I didn't follow that trail. Anyway I kept on searching as it was a very rare opportunity to score a point now that the 400-point limit is almost always enforced.

If you feel that one point is not enough you can keep on clicking on the "add" link until you're satisfied  ;)

No more points I'm afraid but here's another view:
