car F is obvious, but location 4... ??? :-\ Does it exactly have the same name or is it translated to some other language?

@re · January 26, 2010, 11:06:13 AM

Exactly the same.

Paul Jaray · March 14, 2010, 10:06:37 AM

Let's solve this!
Is 'K' one of these:
Baker, Woods, Waverly, Detroit, Rauch and Lang, Firestone-Columbus, Ohio,
Argo, Borland, Century, Ohio, Babcock, Broc, Flanders, Fritchle,
Kimball Regular, Standard, Hupp-Yeates and Studebaker?

~~Must confess to not knowing car F, however obvious it is...~~
Of course I know what car F is, as I should...
~~Is Location 4 the Lincoln Center in New York?Which would make car F a Lincoln, but I'm not sure about that!~~

Car F was a former puzzle and group puzzle and it's not a Lincoln.
Car K can't be a Lincoln either, because the well known Lincoln started business in 1920-21, there were other 2 Lincolns in 1905 and 1908, but manufacture is doubted.
There was a Lincoln in 1908-09, but they were all high-wheelers, in buggy, runabout and surrey form.
There was a Lincoln in 1912-13, but with a runabout and a touring model.
There was a Lincoln Electric in 1900 but it's obviously a different car (the pic shows a runabout)
There was finally a Lincoln Highway in 1914 but this car was again a roadster with a Renault-type front end.

Coul I just ask if F4 is a correct pair? ::)

You could, and I would answer that it is. But you won't get the points unless you correctly identify both pictures - which I suspect you will.

We already found out that F definetly belongs to 4!

Yes!

And as you say, F is not a Lincoln. I'm surprised that one has lasted this long!

Is Location 4 starting with "So" ?

Carnut · March 16, 2010, 06:16:40 AM

Location 4 is the National Car Rental Center Stadium in Sunrise, Florida, home of the Florida Panthers who play in the NHL.
Car F is the Solectria Sunrise Electric Vehicle - a car I should know as it was the subject of one of my puzzles a few months ago!

Aaaaarrrrghh!!!
So many times I browsed pics of Sunrise, Florida, but that building never appeared! :ranton:

(also known as "Bank Atlantic Center")

Carnut · March 16, 2010, 07:07:43 AM

Bad luck!
Still another one to find though...

YES!

That leaves only one, and as you know, Paul Jaray is onto it :)

Allemano · March 16, 2010, 08:03:50 PM

Is the missing building something like a church or a religious building?

@re · March 16, 2010, 10:09:50 PM

No, it's not.

We all are, but not making much progress!

Allemano · March 17, 2010, 05:41:33 AM

Throwing the cards on the table: there's a pic available with a Detroit electric car painted in the same colour. Except of some details it looks very close to K.
Finding the right location is a different story, though...

@re · March 17, 2010, 08:43:28 AM

It's not a Detroit, so you can stop looking in Motor City...

Paul Jaray · March 17, 2010, 12:44:25 PM

Found it!
Now the place....

Paul Jaray · March 17, 2010, 12:49:48 PM

The missing pair is:
Rauch & Lang Coupe1911 and Rauch City Hall, Buenos Aires.

Carnut · March 17, 2010, 12:59:03 PM

And I Googled endlessly for City Halls too! (I thought the flags gave it away). But not in Argentina...!

Paul Jaray · March 17, 2010, 01:18:22 PM

I have pages and pages of cars just like that, same design, but differing in small details (rear fenders going up, lower top, shape of the door...)...that's why I posted the list of all the makers producing a car like that. Today I decided to give it the last try, the easiest one: I googled few possible combinations: Baker Electric Coupe 1910\1911, Waverley Electric Coupe...and I got lucky: the 3rd try gave me the same pic...the place was then a matter of time.

Why am I not surprised that it was you who got it right in the end?

Congratulations to all puzzlers on solving this. It will now go to rest, and points will be awarded in this way:

Arunas 5 points, jotage21 3 points, Paul Jaray 2 points, Allemano 1 point and Carnut 1 point.
