AutoPuzzles - The Internet's Museum of Rare Cars!

The following pics are close-up details of some well-known and some not well-know cars, highlighting features that should make them recognizable to fans of each particular car.

Have at it, AutoPuzzlers!

I think #8 might be a 1929 duPont Model G, maybe the exact 1929 duPont G Waterhouse 4 Passenger Speedster seen here:

Also, #2 (#2?? Duh. #4) is very similar to a Jaguar Type D, but it doesn't seem to match completely.

I think #5 is a Plymouth Prowler headlight assembly...



Dan

And is #4 a Jaguar XKSS?

I had this car as the subject of a former puzzle. "1925" made me jump. I searched and saw that the Jonckeere body was probably fitted over that 1925 Rolls no sooner than 1933-34.

You are right...I remember that puzzle.. ;)

The pros probably won't be answering your call before you move this upstairs from the Expert section ;)

Thanks - I re-stocked a lot of inventory this morning. I marked it down, but didn't move it to the clearance bin.  :D

#5 - Iconic GTR

Yes!

Don't stop now... ;)

Well, here is my contribution, then:
#2: 1955 Ghia Gilda concept
#7: 1934 Oldsmobile

Right, and right! Any guesses for #3?

I lost most of my eyesight trying to solve #3

Could #3 be the hood ornament of a Sovjet GAZ Pobeda?

It is not.

Was it built for communist leaders or at least built in one of those countries formerly behind the iron curtain? (China incl.)

Nope.

:bump:

Is #3 an american car?

Yes!

A Packard?

Not a Packard

Is it a hood ornament, or does it appear on a fender, front or rear, if one may ask?

Don't bother to answer my last question: this is from a Marmon, a 1932 Sixteen model I'd say.
