I guess this also happened to you. You're watching a photo of a car and you think to yourself: hm I know this, but what's the car behind or in the far background hidden by other cars?
Then this puzzle might be for you.
The arrows show you the center of attention — no points for identifying other subjects.
I called this puzzle "Q & Q". Our Dutch readers might know why...

Q & Q was a Dutch television show about two boys. Interesting cars in that show too...

Only two left to go!

btw: on qq#10 I'm looking for the car next to the two gentlemen and not for that Combo in the background. ;)

Sorry for the late reply. It's not a Bitter.
The other cars shown on the pic give you a clue.
The body of that Packard looks like it's been sectioned.
A technique more for custom lead-sleds than race cars. Interesting!!!
Makes sence though.

#7 '71 Ghia Mustang design Proposal by Tom Tjaarda?
Very close! Locked for you! It only needs a little more digging to find the right model and the year is wrong.
Up to the Pro's to finish this off.

So #10 only is left?
No, he wasted the opportunity..
Two points left to score.
#10 is the year 1970, like the Giacobbi Sinthesis?
Capri 1971!
Is #10 Italian, like Pininfarina or something?
Quote from: Paul Jaray on January 16, 2011, 09:08:48 AM

No, hondast already almost hit the target, but he missed to score..

That should be enough to find it within a minute!
#10 is much more recent.
It's not a Pininfarina design
Quote from: Paul Jaray on January 16, 2011, 09:08:48 AM
Capri 1971!
Wow where do you got that photo?
It's not the Capri, though.. ;D

I mixed it up as well. I guess you meant car #7
Sorry I always meant #7.
It should be a Mustang proposal, then.
I found also a side view and it's very Mustangish...
I had this stored as a later model, but after all '71 could be right... However this one is not an ordinary "Mustang" proposal. One detail's still missing.
Mach 2 C ?
It's listed somewhere on a well known source, but not as Mach 2 C.
It's incredibly simple, but someone has to do the job...
Something like 'Fastback'?
Ford Mustela II?
No, simply Mustang _ by the already mentioned designer
#10 - a concept car from 2008-2010?
Called Mustang Design by Tom Tjaarda
Do you mean Ford Mustang by Tom Tjaarda?

I would have said II if I did not find the puzzle picture dated to 1971. as far as I know the Ford Mustang II design studies for Ghia where done afther 1973.
Text under the pic:
A rare studo design shot of a De Tomaso Zonda, Capri and a Mustang design proposal shown in October 1971
The Tom Tjaarda source lists this car without an exact date. (197X)
But if you look at the unveiled side view you can read 1971.
Possibly the car started life as a sketch for a rejected De Tomaso project.

#10 - a concept car from 2008-2010?
older, but from this millenium.

Not Italian
...but European.
I think No.5 is not a Porsche.
I think it's a Volkswagen EA128

Sorry, but No 5 has already been solved. (look at the list on page 2)
Only No 10 is still unidentified.
#10 - looks to me if it is from Northern Europe (Germany, Netherlands, etc.)
Quote from: woodinsight on February 07, 2011, 04:48:45 PM
#10 - looks to me if it is from Northern Europe (Germany, Netherlands, etc.)
I wouldn't say that neither Germany nor the Netherlands are part of
Northern Europe, but the car was indeed built in one of these countries. ;)
I meant to say a Northern EEC member country.
#10 - from Germany?
Yes from Germany
But us #10 a concept or a production car?
Concept car.
By a large manufacturer? ???
Not at all.
By a known design studio?
I think it's rather obscure.
... but we saw it here before..
Black Hole?
Does #10 have the 'normal' compliment of road wheels (i.e., four)?
I think you mean #09.
Yes it has only four wheels. And a pretty common engine.
I think you mean #10 - the only unsolved one?
Does it have a Ford engine?
Sorry, obviousely the images didn't load quickly enough...
#10 has not a Ford engine. (I checked. My clue doesn't work as the donor isn't mentioned in the solved puzzle :-\)
A project of a rear engined car with many involved parties. Three letters and a coinage was the name.
From the US?
No, from Europe.
Based upon an Alpine?
Not Alpine, not from France.
We already had figured out that it is a concept car from Germany by an obscure maker. ;)
