Ehhxekt - a minor typo in your last reply.

All - the general theme of this puzzle should by now be apparent. Further solutions should now be relatively straightforward.

[Otto Puzzell]

Or not...

[Otto Puzzell]

Ehhxekt's not guessing. Easy point for a Rookie, Expert or Pro.

[Paul Jaray]

#5 – Chevrolet Corvette XP-755 Mako Shark 1961 ?
(but the point should be his!)

[Otto Puzzell]

Fair enough.

Per General Motors:

Later known as the 'Mako Shark I,' the Corvette Shark of 1961 was the brainchild of Bill Mitchell. Legend surrounds the origin of the car, including Mitchell's flash of inspiration after catching a shark while deep-sea fishing. The Shark looked like a real shark, with a mouth, gills and a shark-like paint scheme that gradated from blue/gray on the top to silver/white on the bottom (along the rocker panels). Memorable features include a sharp, menacing 'nose' and four-into-two side pipes. The Shark, along with the Stingray Racer, heavily influenced the body design of the second generation of Corvettes.
