Solved - Name That Make #37: Cars!

Now, you may be saying, "Wait a minute, weird-user-name-guy... of course these are cars! Duh!" Yes, but what kind of "cars" are they? Some of them will be guessed easily, and once they are it will be obvious what I'm talking about. Some will not be guessed so easily, though...

Surely the Experts can recognize some of these?

Car`5 is a 1913 Dewcar 4hp Monocar from UK

Car06: could that be a Gardner Serpollet steamer?

ftg3plus4 · December 01, 2009, 02:37:11 PM

Dewcar is correct! Gardner isn't (and doesn't fit the pattern)!

Car 8 is an Amilcar Pegase

pnegyesi · December 01, 2009, 02:40:04 PM

And the pattern is that there's the word 'cars' in the manufacturer's name. I can only hope that you choose only the English word: cars and not voitures, carros, gépkocsi etc.

ftg3plus4 · December 01, 2009, 02:43:47 PM

Amilcar is correct!

Yes, only the English word... and the way "car" is used in the make names conforms to a certain rule. (Off the top, I don't think I've ever seen a make name that includes those non-English words.)

Car07: Cartercar 1915 Model 9 Touring

ftg3plus4 · December 02, 2009, 07:40:57 AM

Correct!

See the pattern yet?

pnegyesi · December 02, 2009, 09:48:32 AM

Car11: isn't that a Huascar?
Car12: Hurlincar 10HP two-seater, 1914

ftg3plus4 · December 02, 2009, 09:54:06 AM

Correct on both!

pnegyesi · December 02, 2009, 12:14:42 PM

Car No03 is a Postal Buggy. The company was bought by the Buggy Car company in 1908 and sold as the Buggy Car model 1, piano box runabout.

And I wanted to ask: Car No10: could that be a Powercar?

pnegyesi · December 02, 2009, 12:18:36 PM

Car No06: Pullcar landauletta, 1907. Made in UK
Car No09: President Warren G. Harding arriving in Premocar

ftg3plus4 · December 02, 2009, 12:37:04 PM

Buggycar, Pullcar & Premocar are correct. (Am not familiar with that info on the "Buggy Car." I found that pic as a 1909 Buggycar, not a Postal Buggy.)

Powercar is not correct.

BTW, at this point I'd like to brag a little about my photo manipulation on the Dewcar & Pullcar. As with one puzzle I solved earlier (Medinger), the only photos of the makes that I knew of were as recognizable for the people in the cars as for the cars themselves. So, in order to keep the focus on the actual (Dew- & Pull-) cars, I took out the people -- using only Microsoft Paint! (Didn't take that long, either.)

pnegyesi · December 04, 2009, 08:10:44 AM

Car04: maybe a Urecar from UK, 1923?

ftg3plus4 · December 04, 2009, 08:15:05 AM

Nope.

pnegyesi · December 04, 2009, 08:19:29 AM

Then maybe a Westcar?

pnegyesi · December 04, 2009, 08:22:45 AM

~~Car01: Lucar, 1914?~~

Car01: Barcar?

ftg3plus4 · December 04, 2009, 08:24:41 AM

Westcar is correct, Barcar is not.

Three to go... and not all of them very obscure...

pnegyesi · December 04, 2009, 08:27:27 AM

I think I will let our professionals have a go at this...

ftg3plus4 · December 04, 2009, 12:57:42 PM

Well, it's only been a few days... are the Pros really itching to get their hands on this?

Allemano · December 04, 2009, 01:00:49 PM

sure...
