W-12-? : is the connection related to The Getaway movie ?
It is related to the movie as much as to the car, but much doesn't have to mean much.

So is the connection related to the concept of "getting away" ?

I'm not certain about this one but I'll try O-9-n.

I think Car O is a Hanomag, maybe a 3/16 PS, but I could be wrong. The architecture link would be with 9, the ex-Hanomag factory in Hanover, which I'm sure has appeared here before.

The problem has been finding an extra. I know that Hanomag was progressively taken over by the Japanese Komatsu corporation, who now occupy the Hanover building, but that didn't seem to help until I browsed the "history" section of Komatsu's website. There it says that they produced Japan's first agricultural tractor in 1931, and the picture is Extra n. That surprised me, as I assumed n was a Caterpillar 2-ton crawler - it certainly looks just like one. I haven't found any mention of a licensing agreement, so did they just make a blatant copy of the Caterpillar, like some Japanese camera manufacturers made literal copies of Leica and Rolleiflex models?

Yes, the car is a Datsun Violet 160 J SSS, the building is correctly identified. Combination D-21-? locked for you.

Another perfect answer. The Hanomag factory building is even called Komatsu-Halle nowadays.

Indeed, this is the Norwegian Getaway. It looks pretty much like the Norwegian Escape apart from the paint scheme.

Right again, the car is a 1930 La Salle. The corner in Rouen is where La Salle's birth house stood.

Let's try L-10-v.

L is an early Fiat 1300/1500, and v is an Autobianchi A112. Both of these, at some time in their lives, had a variant called "Juventus".

Architecture 10 is the fairly new headquarters building of the Juventus football club in Turin, opened in 2017.

You certainly like the harder ones. Well done!
The car is a Fiat 1500 Juventus, the building the Juventus Torino headquarters and the extra is the Autobianchi A112 Juventus.
