Title: Missing Cars II - Solved!
Post by: Otto Puzzell on July 02, 2011, 07:22:21 AM

I'm not to proud to again jump on the "missing car" puzzle bandwagon and engage in manufacturing a blatant copy. Here's another grouping of pics with the cars blanked out. I trust some will be quite easy, and at least one will be maddeningly difficult to crack. Points will be added once the cars are all ID'd.

Enjoy! :)

It's not a Galaxie, (were it a sedan, I'd suggest police departments would usually buy Custom or Fairlane trim level sedans, versus a Galaxie), but it is a 1960 Ford Station Wagon. The wagon's seemingly contradictory name, _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ is written on its side. #8 is is locked for you, so that you may complete it.

Country squire? or Country Sedan depending on side trim.

Not many wood-grained cop cars out there. Country Sedan it is!

Number one could be a 54/55 Mercury coupe?

Not a Mercury

#6 - 1956 Ford Country Squire Wagon

Post by: rickjames8 on July 04, 2011, 12:00:52 PM

I have a hunch that #3 is a chrome bumper (late 60s/early 70s) MGB, but I cant find anything to support that. Am I close?

Not an MG, but not a million miles away...

Is this correct or close? #6 - 1956 Ford Country Squire Wagon

Sorry - missed that. No, it's not.

Is no 5 a Mini? (Morris Mini Minor/Austin 7)

Title: Re: Missing Cars II
Post by: Otto Puzzell on July 08, 2011, 05:56:47 AM

#5 is not a Morris or Austin of any type.

Re: my previous reply, #6 is related, in a way, to a Ford. Since I flubbed the reply twice, that one's locked for you.

Title: Re: Missing Cars II
Post by: Otto Puzzell on July 09, 2011, 07:07:21 AM

Only #9 and #11 might be called obscure.

Title: Re: Missing Cars II
Post by: rickjames8 on July 11, 2011, 06:22:36 AM

Thanks for the lock. #6 is a mercury montery wagon, about 1956.

Here goes the only one I was sure of.
That kind of setting, a cosy house in suburbia, a middle-class couple (or sometimes a few women friends dressed for a picnic) is typical of Ford photographs in the 1950's. They may even have used that house several times.

Not number 9. But since you've found a B&W picture of the puzzle pic, I know what you meant. 10 is the the T-bird.

OK, Pro's - now's your time. I'll be away until tomorrow, so please be patient if I don't reply to your guesses before then. :)

#4 That model's attire is a big clue.

#7 What's behind the cars might provide some guidance.

#9 A race car, not a hot rod.

#7 - no internationally famous prize for getting this one - just a point. (it's the left-most of the two, small, obscured vehicles)

#9 - it's a _ _ _

Channel 7 in Melbourne is also known as HSV 7. Is it HSV then?

Title: Re: Missing Cars II
Post by: Otto Puzzell on July 25, 2011, 03:46:49 AM

You've interpreted Fred's words correctly. :)

But it's not a HSV. But this car is from down under, and has another tie-in with Channel 7

Title: Re: Missing Cars II

It's a JMW. Builder John Wynne can be seen in the picture with two Channel 7 dancers.
