The objective of this puzzle is simple: You see before you 30 wing mirrors from cars. I want to know the makes and model designations of these cars.

And with this, I post my first puzzle as a Professional AutoPuzzler. If this one proves to be immensely difficult, I'll be happy. But I'm afraid the people in here are just too good...

Good luck! The Rookies are first to have a go.

It seems a lot of these mirror's designers were influenced by the 1953 screen adaptation of War of the Worlds.


Great puzzle, @re!  :thumbsup:
