SOLVED - NTM #57 - Reverse Gear (Part 1)

[ftg3plus4]

It's been a while, but I'm back with another group puzzle.

Below are 10 cars, or rather 5 pairs of cars -- that is, identifying one car will give you a clue as to another car in the puzzle. No points for guessing the theme, but once you know it, guessing cars will be easier.

As usual, I am only concerned with the make name -- not models, technical details, etc. Also, there may be reposts.

More to come!

OK, no expert action here. I know a set of 4 group puzzles is a lot to toss out all at once, so I'll open these up to everyone one at a time.

Thanks. Hopefully at least one of the others will take more than 3 minutes to solve!

Most-wanted pair that I couldn't include here: Regas/Sager. Easily found pics of the former but could find nothing of the latter.

BTW, I had a hard time finding an Avon vehicle picture besides the one below. Was rather glad not to have to resort to using this one!
