AutoPuzzles - The Internet's Museum of Rare Cars!

I trust these will again be rather easy, as my knowledge of classical music is not very deep. In any case, I'm sure the classical music buffs will easily ID the music, and then be challenged with matching it to the associated car. And those Puzzlers with limited knowledge of classical compositions, the reverse should work for you - i.e., identify the cars (some of which are very easy to identify), and match them up with the composition. Points are awarded for pairings.

Here goes - enjoy!

Click on the notes to play the clips (some of the MP3 files are quite large, and may take a minute or two to load)

Sorry, but I'm deaf — where are the sheets of music?  (http://i54.photobucket.com/albums/g106/pan1968/Gifs/ange.gif)

I don't have sheet music for these - I'm sorry.  :-\

Car 6 Nimrod Aston-Martin
Clip 3 Nimrod (Enigma variations): Edward Elgar
Car 3 Must be a thieving magpie of some sort - perhaps a disguised getaway vehicle ;D
Clip 5 "La Gazza Ladra" (thieving magpie) overture: Rossini

Car 2: 1978 Pontiac Firebird Trans Am Type-K Kammback Sport Wagon Concept.

Car #5 will be a Rambler American, and
Music #4 is Finale Vivace ma non troppo from String Quartet in F major, 'American', opus 94, by Antonin Dvorak.

Thanks, Allemano! That would link car #2 to music #6: The Firebird by Igor Stravinsky.

Well done! Both pairings are correct.

Another correct pairing!

Music 1 is the Danse Macabre of Saint Saens
Car 4 seems to be the Macabre Mobile and Elvira, though goodness knows what that may be ???

A badly customized "Squarebird" (aka a 1958 - 1960 Ford Thunderbird)

Another correct pairing! You gentlemen are too good at this. I'm going to have to go wiih lesser-know classical composers and works for the next one.

Music 2 is Beethoven's Prometheus Overture
Car 1 is David Beasley's: Prometheus

Slow down! I can't keep up!  ;D

You've got to get up early to beat the Europeans! ;D

Just ask Michael Andretti and Scott Speed... ;)

Have we solved this?
If not, what's wrong or missing?

Thanks Otto - a good puzzle, with enough guesswork/Google potential for me (and others) to identify things beyond normal understanding.

Thank you. I'll try to post another this weekend.

Thanks, Otto, for this nice puzzle, and thanks, Allemano, for your help (Firebird)! Hope that I could help you too with half an answer, next time...

Not at all!
Maybe you can help to identify the remaining car of Classical Gasoline I ....
