A variation on the themes found in my previous three puzzles.
No points for guessing the theme, but once you know it, guessing cars will be easier... maybe.
As usual, I am only concerned with the make name -- not models, technical details, etc. Also, there is at least one blatant repost.
Well, since the one Reverse Gear puzzle still in Pros isn't moving (backwards) anywhere right now, I guess I'll back this one up to the Pros now. This has a similar theme to one or two of the other Reverse Gear puzzles, but it's a little more complex...
Car 1: Regal
Car 2: Wolf
Car 3: Star
Car 4: Ward
Car 5: Pan
Car 7: DEW
Car 9: CAV
Ah, I see you've been doing your homework on this one as well!
1 - correct
2 - correct
3 - correct, but please specify which of the many "Star" makes it is
4 - correct
5 - correct
7 - correct
9 - incorrect
Do you see the theme here yet?
#3 is the 1908 Star Model 12 Touring, built in Peru, Indiana, by the Model Automobile Company.
#9 is an ERA
And number #6 : Edit 10HP from 1924.
Is #8 an EB (Edwards Brothers)?
#8 - Diva GT
And the cars have all been identified!
1 - Regal - Wendax
2 - Wolf - Wendax
3 - Star (Model Automobile Co., Peru, IN) - Wendax
4 - Ward - Wendax
5 - Pan - Wendax
6 - Edit - João (repost - see http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=9413.0 (http://www.autopuzzles.com/forum/index.php?topic=9413.0))
7 - DEW - Wendax
8 - Diva - woodinsight
9 - ERA - Wendax
But, before I move this, can anyone tell what the theme is?
Backward: Lager, Flow, Rats, Draw, Nap, Tide, Wed, Avid and Are?
You've got half of it.
Each car name is one word when read normally and a different word when spelled backwards.
Compare this to Part 2 (currently still waiting to be finished) where each name is a word spelled backwards but is not a word when read normally.
You have a gift!

Let's reduce this assumption to "English word". ;)
"Dort", for example, is German for "there".

Sorry, "English word" is what I meant!
