A selection of chassis and frames. The vehicles that were built around them are from may eras, and multiple locations around the world. Unlike Allan's recent Coachbuilder puzzle, these chassis underpinned off-the-rack automobiles though a coachbuilder may have had a go at most any of them.

Points will be awarded when the puzzle is complete.

#4 1959 Buick?

#4 1959 Buick?
Not a Buick' it's also a bit newer than that.

No idea at all. I just wanted to say that i like the way you have numbered the pictures :thumbsup:
-
Number 3;
This looks like a Factory Promotional Car for dealerships.
A car battery went into the front of the car, a car stater made it go.
This looks like a 64-66 T- bird ?

You're on to something, but not quite there yet. It is a small-size T-Bird, but is a bit older than you suggest. Also need the name of the manufacturer.
#3 is locked for motorcar1
-
Otto,
In looking closer at the picture.
Looks more like the 61-63 T-bird style ?
The Junior car manufacturing company?
I was told they called these models the T-bird juniors?
Guess the company started making them in mid 1954 and carried on up until about 1966?
From there, I think, lord help us again, they went to gasoline powered Juniors?

Well,
I guess I was right on a few of the details.
In do believe that it is a 61-63 model.
Quite an entertaining puzzle and a great topic/post Otto.
John
BTW>>> number 10 sure looks like a Jaguar motor and wheels, about 1954?
and number 6 looks like a European chassis with running board out riggers.?

That's right. Technically, I'll need you to type the manufacturer's name to secure that point for you.

Number 10 is not a Jag, but your geography is about right
Number 6 is from Europe, but was too modern and sporty for running boards.

Pros?
#3 is still locked for motorcar1

#4 looks like an Oldsmobile 442 frame...probably in the '64-'67 range.

While you're not too far off, it's not that old, and it's not an Olds.
-
I'm not sure, but I think #4 is a Pontiac. How about a GTO from about 1970?
-

It's a GTO all right. 1968, but good enough for a point. I'm not sure 99.9% of Pontiac fans could even tell the difference.

No. 6 appears to be a Triumph TR2, or possibly TR3 or TR4, but not TR4A
-
Otto,
The Power car Company of Conneticut for conclusion?
T-Bird Junior, 61-63 Vintage as the front bumper shown has the cut outs for the side by side headlights.
As a fact Otto, this is my first puzzle point !!!
Made me smile>>
I do enjoy posting on topics, I pale though in the knowledge that you guys have.

:snooze:

Pro-land is getting overstocked.
Moving to the hole.
-
The car from which #5 comes is socked away in the solved puzzles section ;)
-
Perhaps the pattern of my clues is not clear.
Here's another - #5 is not from a Toyota Highlander
-
I can't seem to give away point. Let's try a bigger mallet:

-
Sounds like Burlington
-
:disbelief:
-
Well, if it's not a Highland sock pattern, then I'd guess it might be an Argyll, and chassis #5 is an Argyll Turbo GT.
-
:faint:
It seems that was a lot harder then I thought it would be. My mind boggles, when I think of the clues I'll have to concoct for the remaining chassis. :D
-
One was 'a car for everywhere'
One offered 'luxury coachcraft in the modern manner'
One was 'a very comfortable and convenient car'

I have some new group puzzles queued up, but I really think we need to close these older ones out.
I'm offering twice the regular points for solutions that are posted in this thread before 12:00 AM Monday, Eastern Standard Time.
-
Clue for #7: There was another brand with a similar name. They once made a car that was a puzzle here before. Both #7 and this other brand were named for a place, but only one was built there. Car #7 had an alliterative name. So did the maker of the other car I'm referencing.
Clue for #9. From a well-know, oft-puzzled and occasionally photo-featured brand. Its name could refer to either an attribute, or a type of energy.
-
I'd like nothing more than to award some points and close out another old puzzle. ;)
-
