[DHoffmann]

#1 - Bugatti T101 by Virgil Exner
#6 - Ferrari 212 Inter by Abbott
#18 - Jaguar XJ220 by Pininfarina


#10 - Ferrari 250 GT by Drogo?

I can only imagine that #16 is a Figoni & Falaschi but that short tail throws me off...

Just to hazard a guess - Delahaye 135 M F&F?

[Otto Puzzell]

You are doing very well, gentlemen. Check the photo captions to see if you were correct.

[DHoffmann]

Coach1   Looking for the coachbuilder, not the designer  8)

D'oh! Ghia of course.

[DynaMike]

8= 1951 Talbot 26CV by Pinin Farina

I guess Ray B. would have had the correct answer when he would drop the 'Pinin'...:

# 8 Talbot Lago T26 Grand Sport by Stabilimenti Farina.

[Ray B.]

Dynamike is right. Funny thing is that I found a picture of the car in a book, captioned as a "Farina" coachwork. "Who is this Farina guy?", said I, being not  specialist in italian coachbuilding, and I found it clever to add a "Pinin" before...

[Otto Puzzell]

I've made the same mistake myself.

C'est la vie :)

[Otto Puzzell]

Sixteen down; four to go...

[DHoffmann]

Coach #4 - 1933 Lincoln KB Judkins Coupe.

[Otto Puzzell]

Correct!

A few more left, AutoPuzzlers!

[Otto Puzzell]

As usual, those I thought you'd have a hard time identifying were gone in a flash, and some of the 'easy' ones remain unidentified.  ;)

[Otto Puzzell]

Time let the Pro's clean this one up.

[Paul Jaray]

Coach2 - Ford 1919 by Albright
Coach5 - Bugatti Type 46 cabriolet by veth & zoon

[Otto Puzzell]

Right, and right.

[DHoffmann]

Is #20 an Alfa or Jaguar?

[Allemano]

#20 is a "Corsica" Bugatti T57S, 1937, S/N #57503 

[Otto Puzzell]

Is #20 an Alfa or Jaguar?

No

[Otto Puzzell]

You've gotten them all, guys. I'll tally up the points tomorrow.

You've gotten them all, guys. I'll tally up the points tomorrow.

I've been waiting for this one to finish so I can finally make the jump over to expert. Glad it's through this puzzle.

[Otto Puzzell]

I regret you found this tedious.  :(

Here are the point totals:

DynaMike: 11
Paul Jarray: 2
DHoffman: 4

All of these cars can be found on one and the same page. Regret I've found this topic too late!  :-[

And with that, this puzzle is closed, and DHoffman has been promoted to Expert status!
