14 automobiles and trucks. Some are old, some are new.
Each of the vehicles below can paired in an indirect way with one of the other pictured vehicles. Figure out the pairings, and then use that knowledge to put the pairing in order.
Points will be awarded for correct pairings, but not for identifying the vehicles. Most of the vehicle ID's are pretty easy. Some are not easy, but this is a pro-level puzzle, isn't it? And, yes, some of them have previously been puzzles in their own right. No points for being a clever lad and telling us which ones are reposts. A wise AutoPuzzler would keep that to himself, as the information therein might point them toward the correct overall solution.
Another two points to the AutoPuzzler who first puts them in correct order, and explains why they would be ordered that way.
Enjoy!

I'll try to get this going...are 3 and 7 matched up because they're both Chevy wagon-like cars? The 1992-4 S10 Blazer and the modern HHR?
How about 1 and 5 being Chevy sedans, a 1959 Bel Air/Impala and the new Caprice police car?
:headache:
Number #5 and number #12?
Caprice police car (Chicago Auto Show 2010) protects the 1905 Banker ;D (" A Chicago car for Chicago people")

A match!
#4 and #13 make a pairing.
Must I say why? You and I know.
#3 and #6 make a pairing, too. ;)
I believe these are both correct, but please be a good sport and tell us why they match.
I'm having some issues with my primary computer (where the answer key is stored). So, I can't say with certainty that you're correct. I hope to have it back online today.

I would have done anyway today, because the order principle I had in mind proved wrong, so that I have no idea about the order right now.
#4 is the Gregory, built in Kansas City. It matches with #13, the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile, pictured in Kansas City at Union Station.
#6 is the Geronimo, built in Enid, OK. It matches with #3, a Chevy Blazer in Enid. I think it is Enid, because of the grain elevators in the background (Enid having the most grain storage space in the whole USA).
#10 1908 Lincoln runabout, built in Lincoln, Illinois, goes with #9 Ford Mustang parking in front of 410 Pulaski Street in Lincoln, Illinois
Number #2 - El Reno Lake with number #8 - 1910 Pioneer Model 4-30 built in El Reno, Oklahoma?
Sorry, but I think it is
Number #11 - El Reno, VW beetle after a tornado and #8 - 1910 Pioneer Model 4-30 built in El Reno, Oklahoma

That's wrong
The next pairing is #14, a 1904 St.Louis from St.Louis, Missouri, and #7 Cathedral Basilica Saint Louis in St.Louis.
That leaves #2 and #1 as the last pair.

Then it must be #6 Geronimo from Enid and #11 VW after tornado in Enid
The pairs:
Chevy BelAir & Duro Car by Wendax
1922 Gregory & Wienermobile by Wendax
Chevy Caprice Police Persuit Vehicle & 1905 Banker by João
1916 Geronimo & Volkswagen Beetle by Wendax
1908 Lincoln High Wheeler & Ford Mustang by Wendax
1910 Pioneer & Chevy Blazer by Wendax
1903 St. Louis Runabout & Chevy HHR by Wendax

That's the right car, pair, and tornado. ;)
The grain elevators on #3 are in El Reno, which makes it a pair with #8.
Is #2 a Smith from #1 Topeka, Kansas?
That would put the pairs in the following order:
(12,5)
(10,9)
(14,7)
(4,13)
(2,1)
(6,11)
(8,3)
This would be a nice tour from Chicago to Oklahoma (following very roughly the eastern part of Route 66?).

Ah-hah! You've jumped ahead, but your answer is not quite right.
#1 shows Los Angeles city hall. Is #2 the Tourist, built in L.A.?
The correct order is then:
(12,5)
(10,9)
(14,7)
(4,13)
(6,11)
(8,3)
(2,1)
Right place; wrong car
I'm locking this for you
Finally found it. #2 is the 1909 Durocar.
Right - and the final solution is...?
Route 66 from Chicago to Los Angeles
BTW, the car in picture #1 is a 1959 Chevy Impala, of course.
Wow - with the exception of one pairing, you got them all, and the follow up question, too! Well done. :thumbsup:
That's a Bel Air, according to my records, but no worries - the location was the key.
I'll tally the points later on
Amazing. Wendax seems to know every place in the US, besides from every car.

Once I had the idea of following the Route 66, it was much easier. :D
But to reassure you, I don't know many places in the US. Some 30 years ago, I spent a year in Oklahoma as an exchange student, but didn't travel a lot then. But Google Street View is an amazing tool to identify places if you have an idea where it could be. ;D
I didn't score at all, but nevertheless: that was a very nice idea for a group puzzle.
Thanks, Ray
That's 8 points to Wendax (putting him into the +300 club) for identifying 6 pair, and getting the bonus question.
1 point for João, who started the journey in Chicago.
Chicago, Illinois / Chevy Caprice Police Persuit Vehicle / 1905 Banker / João
Lincoln, Illinois / Ford Mustang / 1908 Lincoln High Wheeler / Wendax
St Louis, Missouri / Chevy HHR / 1903 St. Louis Runabout / Wendax
Kansas City, Missouri / Wienermobile / 1922 Gregory / Wendax
Enid, Oklahoma / Volkswagen Beetle / 1916 Geronimo / Wendax
El Reno, Oklahoma / Chevy Blazer / 1910 Pioneer / Wendax
Los Angeles, California / Chevy BelAir / Duro Car / Wendax
Thank you. Almost unnecessary to say that I enjoyed this puzzle very much ;D
WOW!!!
Quite the puzzle ... but, might I suggest an ACTUAL road trip along Route 66????
