A variation on the themes found in my previous two puzzles.

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!

#4
Well, I didn't find car #7.  ;D

The first Otto (car #2) is the French one, built by Sté Générale des Voitures Automobiles Otto in Paris, while the second one (car #4) is the American one built by the Otto Gas Engine Works in Philadelphia.

I don't think I can justify spending the money on that. I don't suppose someone could post the pic?

Quite hard to scan from such a thick book, but here's a little slanted view:

I wish it could have been an actual part of the puzzle, but thanks!
