Pardon the pun. ;D
Another "connections" puzzle. In this puzzle, connect the name of the car to the name of the musical performer that shares some or all of the car's name.
Enjoy! :)

#8 Cizeta V16 T, also called the Cizeta Moroder V16 T, and #19 Giorgio Moroder - who financed the project and therefore got his name on the car.
#18 Julio Iglesias and #4, the first car built in Argentina with domestic components, by Manuel Iglesias, first driven in November, 1907.
Done! :)

Both correct!
2 is Wynton Marsalis, 14 is a 1908 Winton Touring Car
16 Ferrari Daytona, 31 Ronny and the Daytonas
20 Tornado Tempest, 22 The Tempests (I'm kinda guessing here, simply because of the proximity of Rochester NY to Springfield MA)
Five out of six - not bad!
#22 has no connection with #20 that I know of, although it's possible one of the persons in that pic owned a Tornado, survived a tornado, or drove a Toronado with a missing chrome letter.
I'm looking for Garth Hudson somewhere in those pics, but maybe he is there without his beard.
He's not.
#1 is a Playboy
#15 Gary Lewis and the Playboys?
#7 is a Chandler
#32 is Gene Chandler
#1 is a Playboy :)
#15 is not Gary Lewis and the Playboys :(
#22 is Gary Lewis and the Playboys. They're rehearsing around the swimming pool at Gary's LA home.
#15 is The Tornados with Clem Cattini top left
Good ol' Clem! I shoulda known!
Errr... well... maybe not. I probably shoulda known that I was going to pick the wrong damn name to google as a band. Glad somebody got it though.
For what it's worth, on the cover of their single "Monte Carlo", they appear piled into a Citroen DS Chapron Cabriolet. Nice touch.
According to a Casey Kasem show I heard, the Tornados were the first British group to have a #1 US hit (Telstar)in the rock era.
10 is a Tempo Matador, while 29 is April Stevens and Nino Tempo.
Correct in both cases!
Most of these musicians and bands are a bit too old for a guy born in Europe in the late seventies. ???
Suitable then, that the two I solved were a Spaniard and an Italian...
I thought we had to make pairs and I see that many Id'ed single images. If it's Ok, I'll add that:
#6 is Nat "King" Cole but I'm not sure which one of the cars is a Cole. Probably #26, with a Springfield body.
#17 is a Hudson and #28 are the Hudson Brothers.
(I've found some matches since...)

To clarify, point's are for pairings only, but to save peole having to guess car or artist names multiple times, I'm listing them as sort of a bread-crumb trail for all puzzlers.

How could I have missed the Hudson Brothers? The Hudson Brothers Razzle-Dazzle show was a staple of my youth, right up there with Motor Mouse, the Banana Splitz and Wacky Racers.
The fact that I missed that #28 was a Hudson is something else altogether.
I think the point here is that I am getting old. Forgetful too. Probably doddering. Forgetful too.
That sounds like a Bunch of Sour Grapes to me.........whippersnapper.

I must confess, being a foreigner, that I had NEVER heard of the Hudson brothers. Being also an old baby-boomer also, I was desperately looking for Graham Nash and Garth Hudson...
I was sure of this one, but how about my guess for the Cole, Mr. Puzzell?
Oops! missed that one...
Correction - I hadn't missed it, I had attributed it to #25, not #26. Fixed now.
Even for someone who has probably lived through the period when the musicians you show performed, since my musical taste is not for pop music I have only ever heard of one of them and that's Winton Marsalis who has played composed music on his trumpet!
I'm not too hot on US cars either, of course. ???
There are non-US cars and artisits in this puzzle. :)

But no "classical" musicians :o
It's definitely slanted towards US popular musicians, but hey, who says somebody couldn't create one for classical musicians? *nudge* *nudge* *wink* *wink* *say no more*
Try as I might, I couln't find a car called a Mussorgsky, Shostakovich or Sibelius. ;)
Hey, nobody said it would be easy.
Come to think of it, it would be quite difficult. Like, next to impossible. Not necessarily to create, but to solve.
Hmmmm.... ya gots me thinkin' and that's usually the first sign of trouble.
I mulled it over at lunch, and have concocted something that I think will work....
Fans of longhair music, stay tuned! ;)
What do you mean, longhair? Mozart or Led Zeppelin?

I could do either, but meant the former.
Well, I'll be darned. I'd dismissed all ideas of contributing any more to this one, but I couldn't resist having another look at picture #21. After having examined it closely, I thought that the air intakes in front of the windshield were a bit reminiscent of those of a Yes Roadster, so I checked it out, and whaddyaknow, I'm right! So, what kind of rock group could be called... ah! Yes! Picture #13, Jon Anderson's legendary rock group Yes.
As you said, Mr. Puzzell: It's nice to learn something new every day :)
Yep
Still some points for the taking here...
Perhaps #3 will be solved on a dark night. ;)
# 12 is a Reo Speedwagon fire truck, and # 30 is a band called R.E.O. Speedwagon
Yes - well done! ;D
I remembered that when there are words in an image, this is food you can feed Google with.
Google hungry for more!
(http://i23.photobucket.com/albums/b399/KarnUtz/sesamestreet4.gif)
Tuner #11 is Johnny Mercer, and car #27 is a Mercer raceabout, around 1920
#9 is a band called "The Rivieras" (well, we'll see about that...), and #23 is a 1965 Buick Riviera.
As a matter of fact, I think that #9 is more properly "The Blendells", but that you have been misled by Google (due to the proximity of the 2 different pictures in the page) and the website called artistdirect.com. The Blendells, as said in the pic below, was a Mexican-American group. This striked me in the picture #9. And the Rivieras, on the record covers I've seen, were 5 and not 6.
Mea culpa
Don't apologize: it's even better when you have to find that kind of error.
Car #23 and artist #25 remain to be ID'd.

I think you mean car #3 and artist #25, but I am stuck anyway and can't find either in this dark night (or knight?).
You are correct.
Who is the dark knight? 8)
I did find an image of a Wayne, but it's a little different from car #3.
You are headed in the right direction. However, a re-reading of the fist dark night (knight) clue is in order.
Oh, the sweet and clever clue that was...
Now, a joint venture by Allan L and Ray B.: Car #3 is a Vale (Allan), Tuner #25 is Jerry Vale (Ray)
Where did Allan say Vale? :scratch:
Quote from: Otto Puzzell on September 23, 2008, 04:38:02 AM
Where did Allan say Vale? :scratch:
in a PM to Ray who specifically asked me to look at it.
As I also said in the PM I largely ignored this one as I know nothing of the musicians (never even heard of most) and little of the cars.
It also doesn't look that much like any Vale I've seen, but it was my best guess
1932 Vale special with a Triumph 832 cm3 engine.
I could tell more in hungarian, but no one but Alecwolf would understand and that would be revealing my sources.
Is it not Czech? (http://www.mysmilie.de/midi-smileys/frech/1/0009.gif) (http://www.mysmilie.de/)
Well, maybe. Russian is the only eastern european language I know a little and I got mixed up. My apologies to all Czechs and Hungarian Autopuzzlers.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vale_Special has a brief history of the marque, and links to some nice photos.
Pros?
Pros ?
No need to upgrade this one, I think it is completely solved. The answers to 9, 11, 23 and 27 are somewhere above. Check.
Right you are. Here are the points! (answers on page 1 - remember, points were awarded for correct pairings only)
neilshouse 2
porridgehead 4
Ray B 10
@re 6
max 4
I guess I get 10 points and not 12 because I got only 5 pairs (Car 3 being identified by Allan L) which is perfectly alright with me. But it would be rught to credit him on page 1 when you have time.
Thanks, Ray, but I'm not fussed as I ignored this one once I saw that the musicians were unknown to me and so were most of the cars - even the one I "identified" doesn't look right to me.
All rigghty then. Allen has been credited with the Vale SPecial IF.
Hopefully Allen and others will enjoy our latest classical music & automobiles puzzle:
