Classical Gas #1 Solved by Allemano, Dhoffman, @re & Paul Jaray

[@re]

Car #4 is Bill Fredric's Valkyrie Jet Car. And then it doesn't take much imagination to guess which music piece that goes with it

Music piece #4 is the Ride of the Valkyries by German master composer Richard Wagner.

I am a hobby musician myself, I play the trumpet (a bit) and I sing quite a lot. I played in a brass band when I was little - so I read sheet music. Which means it didn't take me long to find out how music piece #1 goes... and it's quite famous, I just couldn't find out which piece it was. A colleague of mine said he thought it must be from an opera, and he was right - I've just not managed to find out which. Until I realised that car #1 was a 1957 Cadillac Eldorado Seville... then things started to dawn on me.

Music piece #1 is a page from Gioachino Rossini's "The Barber of Seville". Of course...

Yep, and yep.

One car remains to be identified - should be easy with the information provided herein.

To come to the end of this : There was a Fench brand named "Gladiator" founded by A. Darracq. Later the company's name changed beside others to "Clement-Gladiator".
Unfortunately I can't find any car that resembles car #3..

To add to that, it appears to be at a British motor show, my guess would be that it's a different car with a Gladiator model designation, although I can't find anything that resembles it either...

Keep after it, boys!

Would be fine to get some hints/help! 

[Otto Puzzell]

Well, you have the name of the car, and a picture of the car. All that remains is to find who built it. Some possible ID's have already been suggested and declared incorrect.

I found the picture on the net - judicious Googling should solve it.

[Allemano]

Vinot et Deguingand?

[Ray B.]

No relation with car #3 but I am curious to know, by the way:  what happened to the tailfins of this Eldorado Seville?

It's true I googled Gladiator car....the 2nd result: November 1913: An aluminium 12 HP Gladiator car on show at Olympia

I guess the Cadillac has visited the Barber of Seville?
