Title: Cars and Dolls #10 - Cindy Eilbacher / My Mother the Car
Post by: Otto Puzzell on July 24, 2011, 07:25:58 AM
Who is she, and why is she in an AutoPuzzle? For 1 point, please respond below and identify this actress, and an automobile she is readily associated with. In this case it's a rather special one-off automobile with a bit of screen history of its own, so I'm going to ask for the builder's name.  

If you haven't registered yet, you need to do so in order to reply.  You can do so by clicking here.

Also, please be sure to check out our other puzzles, and, please post a puzzle of your own if you'd like - the more, the merrier.

Thanks!

Did this actress and the special car appeared in the same movie?

They appeared together, but not in a movie

Let's try:

Angela Little and 2003 Dodge Durango Hemi RT Concept. They both appeared in Nip/Tuck TV series. I cannot find any other special/one-off vehicle...

No - the car is much more unique than that.

In Reno911! she had a brief appearance in the edisode: The Department Gets a Corporate Sponsor, posing with a pink-white police car. That must be fairly unique :)

The automotive connection in play here predates Nip/Tuck and Reno 911! by some decades.

And off to the Black Hole she goes...

The car was built by a person who built other solved puzzle cars.

The car was owned by solicitor, and coveted by a mariner. Or, so the story goes...

Is it a Boyd Coddington creation?

It is not. But you have hit upon the right genre of builders.

Here is an earlier, period-correct picture of our mystery girl.

Could it be Erin Murphy of "Bewitched"?

It cannot.

Otto, though Arunas identified the lady as Angela Little (McKenzie), you're saying, it's not her?

I should have been clearer. The car (truck) was not right, nor was the girl.
Title: Re: Cars and Dolls #10
Post by: pnegyesi on August 19, 2011, 11:26:51 AM
So to make it absolutely clear. Though this picture is captioned as showing Angela Little, this is a case of bad captioning
Title: Re: Cars and Dolls #10
Post by: Otto Puzzell on August 19, 2011, 12:35:28 PM
One of us has a miss-captioned picture.
Title: Re: Cars and Dolls #10
Post by: Otto Puzzell on August 20, 2011, 04:37:07 AM
Well, it appears I' mucked up another one.

Let's re-set this one, using the child's picture. A consolation point to Arunas for my flub.  

Here's another clue to get us back on track. No, it's not the little girl grown up, but she is linked to the same vehicle. I'm probably giving this one away, but you've been a patient bunch of lads, and deserve a break for your trouble.

Is the girl Heather O'Rourke in the TV series "Happy Days"? The car would be the Gene Winfield 1929 Ford.

Not her; not that car.

Cindy Eilbacher and Ann Southern?  If so, then the car would be a Norm Breedlove modification of Norm Grabowski's modified 1924 Ford T-tub, that he (Breedlove) would turn into a ficticious "1928 Porter" for the TV series "My Mother The Car".

The power train was the rod-grade 283 cu in V8 (Chevrolet small-block) engine mated with Powerglide automatic transmission. The 'Porter' was registered (as a modified Ford) in 1964 with the contemporary yellow-on-black California license plates PZR 317 evident throughout the show's run.

The girl, the car's voice, and the car.
