Title: SOLVED - Name That Make #35: Another Color Car - 1907 Hol-Tan
Post by: ftg3plus4 on November 08, 2009, 04:44:27 PM

Remember this group puzzle?

http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8687.0 (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=8687.0)

I was really proud of this one, though -- as usual -- I couldn't find pics of some of the cars I wanted to include. Well, I have just stumbled upon a pic of one such car, and I wasn't even looking for it! So, just pretend this is part of that group puzzle, and see if you can solve it!

OK, no response from Rookies. Let's see if any Experts know the "color-ful" name of this one.

OK, it's been another week, so it's time to open this up to the Pros.

Once again, this car's name contains a color name that was not found among the cars in the original puzzle. Those cars were:

Violet-Bogey
James and Browne
Mauve
Black
Magenta
Silver Hawk
Gray
White
Redpath

Now I'm really wishing I could have included this in the original group puzzle... that whole thing was solved in less time than this one's been sitting around...  :-\

It will be solved, eventually.  ;)

Moving this to the Black Hole (my first puzzle to go there).

A hint: The "color" in this one is at the end of the make name.

...green?

Nope -- not one of your basic "rainbow" colors.

beige?

I've never heard of a car with "beige" in its name, but you're getting closer to the color.

Graham-Beige :) :)

Pink?

Post by: ftg3plus4 on January 04, 2010, 08:06:41 AM

Nope... by picking a "warm" color you're getting "colder."

Bronze?

Post by: ftg3plus4 on January 04, 2010, 08:19:06 AM

That's closer, color-wise.

Another hint: In the actual make name, the color name seems to be more of a meaningless syllable than a reference to the color.

Walter (aka American Chocolate?)

Nope, but thanks for trying.

This was a short-lived American make, and the color name at the end of its name would be considered a mix of two colors from the original puzzle.

By the way, I think you all can be glad that it didn't occur to me to include a Britannia in my "Color" puzzle...  ::)
