That's not it. The missing word is a proper noun. And it's not Ford, Shelby, nor Iaccoca.

Is the proper noun the name of a city?

Otto Puzzell · February 16, 2011, 05:37:06 AM

No

Aaron65 · February 17, 2011, 04:36:53 PM

How about a girl's name?

Aaron65 · February 17, 2011, 04:47:45 PM

Never mind--Artist one, song 12..."Go Steinbach's Go Mustang" by the Mods...

Aaron65 · February 17, 2011, 04:54:40 PM

Artist 11, Song 14--Truth (later Truth and Janey due to some conflict with another band) and "Straight Eight Pontiac"...

Aaron65 · February 18, 2011, 05:20:58 PM

Is Artist 10 actually named Davey or David Jones?

Otto Puzzell · February 18, 2011, 06:44:10 PM

No

Aaron65 · February 18, 2011, 07:43:42 PM

Right! An endorsement / jingle that you could take home on a 45 and play over and over again.

QuoteA sharp 6-piece group from Rumson and Seabright, NJ, the Mods often performed in Asbury Park and at Le Teen de Vous in Middletown, with competition like the Castiles (one of Springsteen's first bands) and the Inmates. The original band members were Rich Lillie on vocals and his brother Bob Lillie on guitar, Phil Watson lead guitar, Wally Hageman guitar, Bob Busch on bass and Bruce Cunningham on drums.

The band released two 45s on the Al Mott's Revelation VII label, the first a promotion for a local Ford dealer, Go Steinbach's Mustang, with a crude cover of Satisfaction on the flip.

The clue said to ask Davey Jones. The unidentified sometimes-security-guard artist is not a Davey or David or Dave, and never played one.

But Davey Jones does know who he is.

10 Artist- Peter Schilling - 1 Song- Major Tom

Aaron65 · February 19, 2011, 08:46:55 AM

Does Song 11 have "Brown" anywhere in the title?

No

Remember, the songs are about cars, drivers, or driving.

Aaron65 · February 19, 2011, 08:47:51 AM

Does it have the proper name "Cadillac" in the title?

Yes!

That's the only word in the title.

Otto replied "No", but you're wrong, Otto. There is a town in Michigan named Cadillac, in honor of Antoine de Lamothe-Cadillac, (from whom the marque is named), and two other in France. Wowever, these ones are not connected to him, because his real name was Antoine Laumet, and Antoine de Lamothe-Cadillac was only an assumed identity.

Aaron65 · February 20, 2011, 11:36:39 AM

That was for the wrong clue, Ray...The proper noun was for the "Go Steinbach's Mustang" song...

Ray B. · February 20, 2011, 03:15:27 PM

Sorry. I kind of got lost in this puzzle as you might have noticed.

I've been to Cadillac, MI, so I wouldn't have made that gaffe. And I know Antoine's story well. BTW, a portrait of him went identified as my avatar for some months, during the 'who is he today' series.
