Is there a BMW?

Title: Re: Grab Your Scissors - it's Puzzling! #2
Post by: Otto Puzzell on February 12, 2008, 05:33:22 AM

Nope.

Two of the cars are from mainstream US automakers still in business; the other two are somewhat rarer, but easily recognizable by most AutoPuzzles regulars, I suspect - if they were not chopped into little pieces and mixed together.

The two non-mainstream automobiles in this puzzle feature engines from other, better known manufacturers. In fact, the engine in one of these cars is from the maker of one of the other cars included in this very puzzle, though from a different era.

As you might suspect, one is a 'trans-Atlantic' car. Another has other potential oceanic connections.

That last clue was a give-away. No takers?

The following is a clue:

Two of these cars pay more attention than their contemporaries to the principals of fluid dynamics.

The preceding was a clue.

I know, but looking at this seems harmful to the eyes.

I believe if one pieced together the vertical grille elements, one of these cars would be quickly identified.

OK - here are the solutions - in anagram form!  ;D

26 Aliased Clerics

Who, Frilly Racers?

Headman Punched Rivers

Title: Re: Grab Your Scissors - it's Puzzling! #2
Post by: Ehhxekt on November 08, 2008, 06:24:36 PM

26 Aliased Clerics = Cadillac Series 62
Who, Frilly Racers? = Chrysler Airflow
As Chrysler Airflow is already solved, we still have two cars to identify. I'm working hard with my scissors on the picture, but think that some help – of the sort you provided above – would be warmly welcome by all of us working on the case. May I ask for an anagram for the other one, too?

Post by: Otto Puzzell on November 09, 2008, 04:08:39 AM

You are correct in ID'ing the Caddilac

The missing anagram is:

Vehicular Gaffe Vended
