Time for another themed group puzzle.

No points for figuring out the theme, but once it's revealed the guessing should get pretty easy.

And remember... if two makes fitting the theme have the same name, I will use them both!

P.S.: One of the cars is an admitted repost, but I've used what seems to be a less commonly-seen picture of it than the one that was in an AutoPuzzle before.

#10 (I think) is a 1922ish Washington Delux...probably a California Top Tourer...

No. The theme is based on the make name only.

1922 Washington Delux (Deluxe?) it is! And BTW, that one's the repost (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=11471.0). But the theme is not obvious yet...

Nope. It's something simpler than that.

#2 1907 Kansas City 6 Cylinder

#5 1911 Illinois Roadster

#6 is an Ohio built by the Ohio Motor Car co. But I'm unsure of the year or model....

#8 1920 Californian..


....I think the connection is obvious now!

Ah, my 3rd guess...Barrett found it!  I believe #7 is around a 1913/14 Ohio Electric.
