Yes, but I'm off to bed!
5 should be a Bédelia but doesn't look right.
Title: Re: PJ - 296 Fighting the boredom
Post by: Paul Jaray on February 07, 2010, 06:14:08 PM
Not a Bedelia...

Wild guess: is #6 - Twyford 10hp?
Title: Re: PJ - 296 Fighting the boredom
Post by: Paul Jaray on February 08, 2010, 07:33:42 AM
Not a Twyford.

Post by: ftg3plus4 on February 08, 2010, 09:04:19 AM
#5 looks kind of familiar to me. Is that an American cyclecar? The name "Greyhound" comes to mind, so I'll put that wild guess out there.
Title: Re: PJ - 296 Fighting the boredom
Post by: Paul Jaray on February 08, 2010, 09:20:32 AM
you are familiar with a 14\18hp cyclecar built in 1914 in Toledo, Ohio by Greyhound Cyclecar Company and designed by E.J. Cooke? How can it be?  ;D
You are absolutely right, well done!
Title: Re: PJ - 296 Fighting the boredom
Post by: ftg3plus4 on February 08, 2010, 09:29:28 AM
It can be because I saw the pic in a great article, in a fine auto magazine of many years ago, about American cyclecars.

Shouldn't #12 be noted as "solved" in the master list since Allan L got that one?
Title: Re: PJ - 296 Fighting the boredom
Post by: Paul Jaray on February 08, 2010, 12:33:57 PM
I was kidding, of course you knew it...it was a very specific  'wild guess'!
(you've been lucky, that's what I got: http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=6196.0  :D )
#12 - Fixed!
