Topic: Solved: Rust never sleeps - Carchitextra 2

[Wendax]

Let's try another:
AH: DC Design Taarzan - 5: Floors Castle (featured as Grestoke Mansion' in the film Greystoke, the Legend of Tarzan - s: Al Araba 1/DC Gaia (joint venture between Al Araba and DC Design)

Yes, that one was a bit harder I thought.

Trying another tenuous connection, Chairman to Chairman;

Rust Q: Rover Metro-based Gowrings Chairman, with a rear ramp tailgate for wheelchair access
Arch 9: Roman military barracks remains, discovered whilst expanding the C-Line of the Rome Metro ‘metropolitana’
Extra Ab: Ssangyong Chairman, based around an old Mercedes-Benz E Class

[Djetset]

Even more tenuous this time, a star connection?;

Rust F: a Star Nestor 18/50 from the late 1920s
Arch 24: the Museo Nestor museum in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria
Extra u: a Ford Vedette (vedette meaning ‘star’ in French) this version being the base Abeille model with a split opening tailgate and removable rear seats

Extra Ab: Ssangyong Chairman, based around an old Mercedes-Benz E Class

Rust Q and Extra ab are well identified and belong together. The architecture in question is another one, only connected to one of the cars.
Architecture 9 is well identified.
Q - ?? - ab locked for you.

Extra u: a Ford Vedette (vedette meaning ‘star’ in French) this version being the base Abeille model with a split opening tailgate and removable rear seats

Rust F and Architecture 24 are correct and belong to each other, but they are looking for another Extra (hint: again only connected to one of these two).
F - 24 - ?? locked for you.

Extra u is a Ford Abeille and your answer contains an idea you should keep in mind.

The first step in this one may be weak, but here goes:

O: Citroën Heuliez – 21: Vanna Venturi House, Philadelphia – h: Venturi/Claude Poiraud (formerly of Heuliez)

[gte4289]

J: 1958 ‘Thor’ by Nik Gudmunds and Jerry Ball – 26: Thor SM-75 PGM-17 Missile at Cape Canaveral, Florida – af: FMA Donar 50 HP

[Wendax]

The first step in this one may be weak, but here goes:
O: Citroën Heuliez – 21: Vanna Venturi House, Philadelphia – h: Venturi/Claude Poiraud (formerly of Heuliez)

Your feeling was right, Rust O is neither a Citroen by Heuliez, nor connected to the other two.
Architecture 21 and Extra h do pair and are recognized correctly.
?? - 21 - h locked for you.

[Wendax]

J: 1958 ‘Thor’ by Nik Gudmunds and Jerry Ball – 26: Thor SM-75 PGM-17 Missile at Cape Canaveral, Florida – af: FMA Donar 50 HP

That's the right triple, Donar being the old Germanic name of Thor.

Egyptian connection?

C: Sphinx Voiturette – 4: Karnak Temple Complex near Luxor, Egypt - x: Blake & Mortimer Citroën DS 19 from The Sarcophagi of the 6th Continent

[gte4289]

A connection to my home state:

D: 1926 Oakland Six Tourer – 25: San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge – w: Ken Block Ford Fiesta (shown in Gymkhana 5, which begins on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge)

[gte4289]

If this one's correct, I think you missed an opportunity to include the Reliant Fox Goldcrest

H: 1984 Ford Escort Wagon (North America) - 19: Goldcrest Views 2 in Dubai, UAE - j: Ford Escort Mk2 Goldcrest

[Wendax]

Egyptian connection?

C: Sphinx Voiturette – 4: Karnak Temple Complex near Luxor, Egypt - x: Blake & Mortimer Citroën DS 19 from The Sarcophagi of the 6th Continent

Rust C is not a Sphinx.
Architecture 4 is correctly identified.
Extra x is not the Blake & Mortimer Citroen DS 19.

A connection to my home state:

D: 1926 Oakland Six Tourer – 25: San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge – w: Ken Block Ford Fiesta (shown in Gymkhana 5, which begins on the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge)

That's a good one.

[Wendax]

If this one's correct, I think you missed an opportunity to include the Reliant Fox Goldcrest

H: 1984 Ford Escort Wagon (North America) - 19: Goldcrest Views 2 in Dubai, UAE - j: Ford Escort Mk2 Goldcrest

Rust H has already been identified as a Mitsubishi Sigma.
The two other parts are correct and connect. ?? - 19 - j locked for you

Was 'Rust K' a kit car or rebody on a less sporting chassis?

This one is no longer identified as "Locked" in the Correct Answers post (Reply #9). Is it still locked?

[Djetset]

I noticed that Wendax hadn’t Locked this one when all the other 2-answer puzzles had been locked, so I assume this was an oversight as it seems a little unfair otherwise

Yes, I forgot to add the lock in the correct answers table which I rectified now.

[Djetset]

Ah, thank you Wendax. I’ve taken a day’s break from this puzzle today as the research was eating into my time too much when I should have been doing some work, but I’ll revisit it again over the weekend. Thanks again.

T: Harroun Model A-1 (by Ray Harroun, winner of the first Indy 500) – 1: Soldiers and Sailors Monument (in Indianapolis, Indiana) – z: 2001 Oldsmobile Bravada Indy 500 Pace Car

B. Standard 10 van – 31: Standard Oil Building, New York – ag: Standard Eight Touring

[Djetset]

A basic 'everyday' connection for this one:

Rust AC: Simca Aronde Quotidienne, the 'low-cost' entry-level version of the popular French model, added to the range in 1953
Arch 6: Musee d'Histoire de la Vie Quotidienne (the Museum of Daily Life), based at Petit-Caux in Normandy. I visited this charming town many years ago (before the digital camera age, so it was quite some time back) when I briefly owned a Panhard 24 CT and joined up with a French P&L Club for a local treasure hunt. Somewhere I have an old printed photo of my Panhard parked there, but it will take some finding!
Next U: the French Ford Abeille, a stripped down basic version of the Vedette, aimed at farmers, commercial tradesmen, etc, and built in the same Poissy factory as the Aronde which Simca acquired when it took over the French Ford SAF operations and production plant. The Poissy plant still exists today as part of the PSA Groupe, now building Citroen C3s, etc.

V: Rosengart Ariette Break – 15: The Rosengart Collection, Lucerne Switzerland – e: 1941 Tempo Hanseat A 400

V/15 connection: Rosengart (obvious)
V/e connection: Among other things, the French word 'ariette' can be a diminutive form of the musical term 'aria', while 'tempo' can also be a musical term.
15/e connection: None
