The automobile tie into the Hulk and Fenway Park is number 6: Art Arfons Green Monster, a jet powered drag car (Yes!). Arfons was known as a Junk Yard Genius (uh, OK...), tying into the garbage trucks named above (naah). He competed for the land speed record against Craig Breedlove who had an AMC AMX named in his honor which was based upon a shortened AMC Javelin (A) (that's not where I was going with that, but it is a connection...) that ties to the other Javelins. Another competitor for the land speed record was the Budweiser Rocket car, (18) (Yes!) that joins the other Jowetts and rockets. The mastermind behind the Budweiser Rocket car was Hal Needham (the trail is going cold...), who, among other things appeared in a Star Trek Episode (7) (Nope) and directed the Cannonball Run which starred Burt Reynolds who also did Gumball 3000, a garbage (H) (7) attempt (oh, brother!) at recreating the original Gumball Rally (3) and (A) and (BB) and... and... I'm spent.
P is Doctor Who's Who Mobile...which links back the the Who's Magic bus I'd say.
0 (zero, not "O") is a Herkimer Battle Jitney from the movie "Mystery Men". Whether it was a one-off by the prop department or based on an actual 50's military surplus transport is being debated here:

I vote for prop one-off at this point.
Note that I haven't linked it to any other picture, I'm just throwin' out what I know. Because that's how I roll.
The more that's appearing, the more this does become a stream of consciousness...
Y and 19 - Jowett Jupiter and Jupiter II (Yes!) , which relates to 2 - Lost in Space actor Billy Mumy and Robot B9 (Uh-huh) which relates to M - Subaru Tribeca B9 (Ka-ching!) which relates to 11 Oscar Meyer Wiener because it'a a.... (uh, no).
14 and 24: The name of both the Fiat and the lion is Simba
8 and 23: The Peugeot and Mitsubishi are both called Eclipse
22 and 28: That Tata Indica clone is called CityRover, the moon buggy is called Lunar rover
1, 6 and 18: Oldsmobile rocket V8, two rocket cars or dragsters.Yep
0 and 25. I guess 0 is the same GM bus, modified for the movie, or an inspired replica.Uh-huh - what movie, and what was it called in the movie?
8 and 23: Peugeot Eclipse and whatever it is: retractable hardotpsNot exactly...
25 and K: GM Futurliner "Magic Bus" and the Who's Magic BusSure.
15, G and T: A Chrysler, a gargoyle on the Chrysler building, and a Chrysler building head ornament (I don't dare call it a hat)Yep! Who's wearing the hat?
15 and F: a Chrysler Cordoba and a Seat CordobaYep.
28 and X: the lunar Rover and a dog whose name might well be Rover. I won't try to point another Rover, on account of my poor knowledge of British cars.Yes again!
By the way: with 7 puzzles solved, how come I'm still a rookie ?Fixed (sorry for the delay)

O and S : Javelin, respectively Jowett and GlosterI presume you were happy with these?
O and Y: Jowett, respectively Javelin and Jupiter
27 and AA: Walker, respectively Murray and Baby
In T, the man wearing the hat is William Van Alen, the architect of the Chrysler building. So T is also connected with BB, the Chevy van.Quote15, G and T: A Chrysler, a gargoyle on the Chrysler building, and a Chrysler building head ornament (I don't dare call it a hat)Yep! Who's wearing the hat?
Aw, c'mon - you can do it!I Can? It's a job for Albert Einstein. And I'd say you're the one who's got the worst part, giving the answers, awarding the points and tying all the strings together (see, you forgot to award me the points for the connections made 2 posts above).
Godfrey Daniels! I thought it was cool to have old Isom appear in this puzzle...
(I'll add his portrait when the server will allow me)
B is a Cadillac Fleetwood and N is Mic Fleetwood.
Late to this one - A's a Javelin SST and L's a Boeing 2707 SST design concept for TWA
not only my eyes but my brain hurts...See what I meant? I spent an hour identifying #2, Billy Mumy in Lost in Space (I first thought it was Jimmy Hunt in Invaders from Mars) only to find that it had already been done MONTHS AGO !
B is a Cadillac Fleetwood and N is Mic Fleetwood.
#13 can be linked to B & N - it is a picture of Moses Fleetwood "Fleet" Walker, who was the first African-American to play Major League Baseball, for the Toledo Blue Stockings back in 1883.
Let's try a few more links:
4 and O: Captain Oliver Harmon "Spearchucker" Jones (from M*A*S*H) was a college javelin thrower and the Jowett Javelin (both javelin related)
G and I: "Gargoyle Chrysler Building" and a Chrysler CL Imperial Dual Windshield (both are Chrysler's)
I and W: Chrysler CL Imperial Dual Windshield and Joe Flynn from the Imperial Margerine commercial (both are Imperials, fit for a King)
W and 15: Imperial Margerine and Chrysler Cordoba (Chrysler connection)
K and U: Since nobody's mentioned this one - Who's Magic Bus and a School Bus (both are busses)
...and a couple more:
Z and E: Gordon Murray Light Car Company Rocket and Murray Pedal Car (the name "Murray")
E and 27: Murray Pedal Car and Murray Walker (again, the name "Murray")
...and to finish the connection on the map,
AA and R to 13: Baby Walker and Moses Fleetwood Walker (both Walkers) and Fenway's Green Monster and MFW (baseball connection)
I had to fill in the map by hand, but it made all the difference. :faint:
These next two were connected before, but to complete the path (going up from 13):
13 (Moses Fleetwood Walker) and B (Cadillac Fleetwood)
B (Cadillac Fleetwood) and N (Mick Fleetwood)
...but this one should be new (to finish the connection):
N (Mick Fleetwood) should tie to K (Who's Magic Bus) (both musicians or bands)
...are connected through 17 (a Hispano Corrocera custom coach, acquired by Tata/Rover)?
11 (Brooks Stevens' Wienermobile) and 10 (Brooks Stevens' 1937 Packard 120) (both designed by Brooks Stevens)
10 (Brooks Stevens' Packard 120) and 20 (1949 Packard Fastback) (both Packards)
Then 12 (Dual Ghia) must fit in between I (Chrysler Imperial Dual windshield) ("Dual" in the name) and 15 (Chrysler Cordoba) (both Chrysler).
17 is a Fleetwood Revolution which is the last connection to 13 (Moses Fleetwood Walker)
I've always loved this one...
Can you please list the unidentified pics? Just letter and numbers...I tried to find it back but probably you keep note of them.
And 5 (The Irish Rovers) is connected in between 22 (Tata City Rover) and X (Rover) (all are Rovers)
And 3 looks like Keith Moon's Bucket T (or one similar to it) which would connect it to K (Who's Magic Bus).
So then V is Sammy Packard of NASCAR fame, and he's connected to D, Sammy Johns (both named "Sammy")...
...and he's connected to 10, Brooks Stevens Packard (both are "Packards")
