Time for another group puzzle.
Seven dashboards and seven pictures representing some kind of paradise for some people. Find the connections.
In order to gain a point you have to identify the car the dashboard comes from, find the connected "paradise" picture as well as the reason why they match.
Have fun!
The paradise pictures:
The right connections:
Dashboard 1: Porsche Typ 32 was built for NSU, who were situated at Neckarsulm (Neckar bridge) -> Paradise 6 (Allemano)
Dashboard 2: Glas V8 was built at Dingolfing -> Paradise 5 (Otto Puzzell)
Dashboard 3: Maserati Boomerang matches with Boomerang rollercoaster -> Paradise 1 (Limo)
Dashboard 4: Tatra T87 matches with the Tatra mountains -> Paradise 7 (tonyola)
Dashboard 5: Isdera Imperator 108i was built at Leonberg where the Leonberger dogs originate from -> Paradise 4 (Allemano)
Dashboard 6: Wendax WS 750 was built in Hamburg -> Paradise 2 (Allemano)
Dashboard 7: Steyr 2000 A Grand Vue was built at (or by a company named after) the town of Steyr -> Paradise 3 (JMC)
Dashboard 7 : Steyr 2000 A Grand Vue
Connection: Paradise 3 (Town square of Steyr, Austria)
Reason why they match: Steyr was a manufacturer based in Steyr, Austria.

Right dashboard, wrong paradise

Dashboard #4: Tatra T87 -> Paradise #7: Tatra Mountains in Slovakia.
Yes, absolutely right. I hoped somebody would recognize the windshield.
Okay dashboard 3 (boomerang) and paradise 1 (boomerang rollercoaster)

Yes, that's right
Don't give up!
The connection is not always "the name of the car matches the name of the paradise".
Okay, I am not sure on this one so I will have to take a wild guess.
Dashboard 1 : 1934 Porsche Typ 32 -> Paradise 4 (Leonberger dogs)
Reason why they match: The Leonberger breed's name derives from the city of Leonberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany. Porsche is a manufacturer based in Stuttgart, which is the capital of Baden-Württemberg.
You are right with the dashboard as well as the dogs, but it is the wrong connection.
Have a go at it, pros!
#2 is a Glas V8. Hans Glas GmbH was based in Dingolfinging in Bavaria; Paradise #5 is the Herzogsburg (Duke's Castle) in Dingolfing.
Dashboard #1 is the NSU Type 32 from 1934. NSU began as a knitting machine manufacturer in the town of Riedlingen, a town in the district (Kreis) of Biberach, Baden-Württemberg, in the south-west of Germany.
Paradise #4 is a group of the Leonberger breed of large dog. The breed's name derives from the city of Leonberg in Baden-Württemberg, Germany.
I guess the Leonberger dogs (paradise#4) match the (probably 1st series 1984-1991) Isdera Imperator 108i (dashboard #5). Eberhard Schulz founded Isdera 1982 in Leonberg.
Ah! I suppose it helps to be German. :D
First I was confused about the instruments (taken by Porsche) and the position of the key-lock (also like Porsches). But then I took one of my old books and found a high-angle shot of the Buchmann BB CW311. The Buchmann Mercedes CW 311 remained an one-off and had a different steering wheel with "BB" initials, but the overall shape of the dash looked very similar. Finally the Isdera Imperator 108i which succeeded the CW311 did the trick*.
Very little German was needed in this case.. ;D
*I hope it's even right.. :-\

I like your present participle of Dingolfing :D
Yes, you are right about the connection between Dashboard #2 (Glas V8) and Paradise #5 (Herzogsburg Dingolfing).

Well recognized, but wrong connection.

Further hints could have been the shape of the windshield and the non-visible open door (gullwings!). ;)
Dashboard #1 belongs to the NSU Porsche Typ 32. The NSU factory was in paradise #6 Neckarsulm (Neckar bridge)
And the final pairing. We see on paradise #2 the Queen Mary at Hamburg St. Pauli's "Landungsbrücken".
I'm not sure, but the remaining dashboard is possibly from a Staunau K400/K750 Wendax WS750.
Staunau Wendax was resident in Hamburg (Harburg Hamm).
