Ray's own Cartunes - Solved by Allemano, Otto Puzzell, pnegyesi, 75america and Ultra,

[Ray B.]

With the permission of Otto, I am having a shot at this myself!
Thirteen performers, thirteen cars. They're connected two by two by a car song.
You know the rule: one point for the connections (please give us the title of the song). No point for the name of just the performer or the car.

Now, the performers:

Tuner #1 The Happiness Boys (Allemano)


Tuner #2 Johnny Cash (Allemano) 


Tuner #3 K.C. Douglas (Otto Puzzell)


Tuner #4 Collins & Harlan (Allemano)


Tuner #5 Robert Johnson (pnegyesi) 


Tuner #6 Billy Murray (Allemano) 


Tuner #7 The Treniers (Allemano)


Tuner #8 The Andrew sisters (Otto Puzzell)


Tuner #9 Chuck Berry (pnegyesi)


Tuner #10 The Playmates (pnegyesi) 


Tuner #11 Bob Dylan (75america) 


Tuner #12 Reverend Horton Heat (Ultra)


Tuner #13 Sonny Boy Williamson (Otto Puzzell)

[Ray B.]

Then, the cars:

Car #1 Beep-beep (pnegyesi)


Car #2 in my merry Oldsmobile (Allemano) 


Car #3 Terraplane Blues (pnegyesi)


Car #4 Henry's Made a Lady Out of Lizzie (Allemano)


Car #5 Galaxy 50 (Ultra) 


Car #6 Cadillac convertible (Allemano) 


Car #7 Mercury Blues (Otto Puzzell)


Car #8 The Little Ford Rambled Right Along (Allemano) 


Car #9 One piece at a time (Allemano)


Car #10 From a Buick 6 (75america)


Car #11 Pontiac Blues (Otto Puzzell) 


Car #12 Six Jerks in a Jeep (Otto Puzzell) 


Car #13 Maybellene (pnegyesi) 

[75america]

Tuner #11: Bob Dylan with "From a Buick 6" and car# 4: Buick Six?

[Ray B.]

Tuner #11: Bob Dylan with "From a Buick 6" and car# 4: Buick Six?

Hurry up before someone gets it. You have an hour.

[75america]

Tuner #11: Bob Dylan with "From a Buick 6" and car# 4: Buick Six? and Car#10 Buick

[Ray B.]

Right. You have the point (added when all wiil be found) but could you tell why this particular car fits the song's title?

[Allemano]

car song => title or lyrics as well?

[75america]

Right. You have the point (added when all wiil be found) but could you tell why this particular car fits the song's title?

This particular car is a 1963 Buick Special Deluxe Sedan.
According to Wikipedia: "In 1962, the Special was the first American car to use a V6 engine"

[Ray B.]

Right. Starting 1931, Buick was only powered by eights. So a Buick 6 can only be a Special.

car song => title or lyrics as well?

Quite often, as in Otto's Cars and Tunes, the connection is to be found in the lyrics and not in the tile.

[Allemano]

Tuner #2 is Johnny Cash. Should match to Car#9 a Psycho Billy Cadillac from the tune "One Piece at a Time"

[Ray B.]

Fine. I know, I've left some easy ones, if one knows his music.

[pnegyesi]

Car No 13 is a 1948 Cadillac Series 61 fastback coupe and Tuner No8 are The Andrews Sisters who apparently sang about a Cadillac in the Spring, 1947 song: The Lady From 29 Palms

Car No 2 is a Curved Dash Oldsmobile. And then there was the song: My merry Oldsmobile in 1905 so I think the match is No6, who I believe is Gus Edwards.

Tuner No5 is Robert Johnson who sang Terraplane Blues, which matches Car No3 a 1935 Terraplane DeLuxe Six convertible coupe

Tuner No10 shows The Playmates, who had a song, "Beep beep" mentioning a Nash Rambler, a reference to Car No1, a Nash Rambler Convertible Landau, 1951.

Tuner No13 and Car4: Sonny Boy Williamson who in "Brother James" mentioned a 1929 Ford, which happens to be Car4: 1929 Ford Model A Coupe.

VERY Cool.

I think the Johnny Cash one was the easiest one of all ... .

"The tables finally turned" ... Randy Travis / Carrie Underwood ... 'I Told You So'

[Ray B.]

@pnegyesi: Your third and fourth pairings are correct (the Rambler is a 1953, but it's not obvious). The rest is false.

[Ultra]

Tuner 5 and Car 3, Robert Johnson's Terraplane.

[Otto Puzzell]

I'll guess #8 / Andrew Sisters and car #12 / Six Jerks in a Jeep

[Otto Puzzell]

Right. You have the point (added when all wiil be found) but could you tell why this particular car fits the song's title?

This particular car is a 1963 Buick Special Deluxe Sedan.
According to Wikipedia: "In 1962, the Special was the first American car to use a V6 engine"

Marmon beat them by 57 years

[Otto Puzzell]

I'll go with #3, K.C. Douglas, and #7, Mercury Blues

[Otto Puzzell]

#13, Sonny Boy Williamson II, and #11, Pontiac Blues

[Ray B.]

Tuner 5 and Car 3, Robert Johnson's Terraplane.

Sure, but that was already found by pnegyesi

Otto: 3 shots, 3 bull's eyes. For car #12, I couldn't find a picture with six, so they're only four.

[Allemano]

Tuners #1 are Billy Jones & Ernest Hare matching car #8 a Ford T.
The song is "Henry's Made a Lady Out of Lizzie"

Actually the lyrics are about car#4 the Ford Model A which was presented in 1928.

" In 1927, after selling over 15 million Ford Model T cars,
the Henry Ford Motor Company replaced the Model T with the Model A.
This song was written in praise of the new Model A."

[Ray B.]

 
Correct! And you weren't fooled long by the trap. The point is yours, but can tell us, as a bonus, under what name Jones and Hare performed?

[Allemano]

The fabulous "Happiness Boys"..

[Allemano]

car#8 the Ford T is subject of the tune "The Little Ford Rambled Right Along" (1915) which was performed by tuner #6 Billy Murray

[Ray B.]

Right again. And you didn't fall in another of my traps
