During the Easter days I've had some spare time to arrange a new group puzzle of the mind-bending kind. Following the "Rust never sleeps" theme as well as the Carchitecture theme of previous group puzzles of mine, all you have to do is to find a connection between one of the more or less rusty cars in the first section, connect it with one of the pieces of architecture in the second section, and finally link that pair to one of the pictures in the Extra section. One point for each triple combination found, no lock for just identifying a single picture. Have fun!
The first ten cars:
Ten more cars:

№9 F.A.T.A. Aurea
Yes, the ninth car, which is Car I, is a FATA Aurea. Now you have to find a building and an extra connected anyhow to this car.
was the 10th car (Perho-Pudnik) from the first section?
We have 26 cars (pictures named Carchitextra Car A to Z) in the first three posts. Each one of those has to be paired with one of the 26 buildings (pictures named Carchitextra Architecture 1 to 26) in the next three posts. And each of these 26 pairs has to be combined with one of the 26 pictures (named Carchitextra Extra a to z) from the last three initial posts. So in the end we will have 26 combinations, for example B-17-f, as solutions. I hope the puzzle arrangement is a bit clearer now.
Car J is the Perho-Pudnik.
Amilcar Type M as car P, a street corner in Saint Denis (maybe) as extra B, Isadora Duncan (never) as extra Y
Well, that is something to start with. Car P is indeed an Amilcar Type M and Extra y is Isadora Duncan (who lost her life in an Amilcar, the scarf, you know). What's missing is the Architecture part, i.e. one of those pictures captioned Carchitextra Architecture 1 to 26. But, since you've got two out of three right, I place a lock for you on that combination P-?-y.
Puzzles like this make my brain hurt. I'm going to have a go at one:
Car Z is the Galy Vibel
Galy was an offshoot of Forges et Ateliers de la Fournaise (I think), who at one point had premises in boulevard Anatole in St Denis, Architecture 25
The Galy company itself was based on avenue Niel, Paris - Extra F
So: Z - 25 - F

So: Z - 25 - F
Oh my! You are right on all accounts, but you found the (hopefully) only weak spot in this puzzle. Car Z is correct, and Extra f is the fitting third part. But although Architecture 25 is correctly identified by you, it was meant to belong to another combination, as it housed several companies during its existence. So you have to find another piece of architecture connected to the Galy. And with respect to your reasonable guess, I'll give the hint that the connection is purely by name. The combination Z-?-f is obviously
locked for you.
I thought that might be the case! I am at a total loss now, though...
Don't give up, it's not that difficult to find.
Neither 'Galy' nor 'Vibel' seem to exist anywhere except attached to that car. Is it a spelling variation on one of those? For example, there is an avenue Gally, and even a town of Gally... nothing that matches with the images though!
Annoyingly I have 2/3 of at least one other, but finding the third part is a nightmare!
When does Max's lock end, by the way? ;)
Galy, without any variation of spelling, is (the main) part of the building's name. Keep on looking.
I think, max had his time. Now I will unlock P-?-y, so that you can have a go at it.
Okay, architecture 22 is the Hotel Galy in Aveyron
Is architecture 25 the missing link between Isadora and the Amilcar? Amilcar also used these premises as a factory

Okay, architecture 22 is the Hotel Galy in Aveyron
Yes, the Hôtel de Galy in Millau in the Aveyron department. So Z-22-f is the first correct combination.

Yes, of course. That makes P-25-y the second combination found.
Well done. The points will be awarded at the end of the puzzle.

You are right on all three identifications, congratulations. Car S and Architecture 2 do pair, but the connection to the missing Extra is closer than just by name. Unfortunately I didn't notice the possibility to link Extra d to S-2. Anyhow,
the combination S-2-? is locked for you.

Is it that Barry Stimson himself said that he decided to design the Mini Bug after seeing a Meyers Manx beach buggy in 1968. The beach buggy led to the Baja Bug as a cheaper alternative?
No, the connection lies within the pictured Bajabug.
The Baja Bug in the photo is a replica of the Tamiya Sand Scorcher R/C model alongside - sharing the Scorcher name with the Stimpson creation?
That's it!
I think I've got another one.

I've got it! All the time I was thinking what on earth was the link in the 'extras' to Jim Morrison as of all the famous Morrisons it had to be something to do with him. The only musical thing was image g , but although its a pretty ropey picture, even on a bad night it looked nothing like Jim Morrison. Then, as I was trying to identify one of the other pictures as Morrison something, Van Morrison came up, the light shone and very quickly I found the cover of his album 'This is where I came in'.
So it's T - 23 - g
Well done! Jim Morrison would have been to easy, wouldn't it? ;)
up again
Until further notice there will be a restriction at pro level: You are only allowed to have a guess at one car within 24 hours. During that time span you can ask further questions concerning that car and its Architecture and Extra combination. But if you want to have a go at another car, you'll have to wait until the 24 hours since your first question about the previous car have passed.

Just go ahead, the 24 hours refer to the start of an attempt at a new combination. Once started you can have a try at all your combinations you are already working at. Initially I wanted to avoid that somebody answers for most of the combinations at once, before anybody else can join in. But that doesn't seem to be the case. So I'll probably lift that restriction soon.
Oops, you have set up one just for me,
Car K is the Hungarian Dream, built by Mátyás Borlóy, extra q is the UAZ-based jeep in the workshop of HICOX, a company set up by him.
I assume the architecture connection is about HICOX, right?
is the connection about one of the engineers at FATA?

It is okay for me, if you work yourself through this puzzle. I just wouldn't have liked to see the puzzle gone within minutes at pro level, as it takes a lot of time to collect ideas and pictures, as well as design the puzzle.

Well, I'm lurking in the background. I haven't visited much recently, but spotted this puzzle yesterday, though I 'm not making much progress yet, other than with things that have already been solved.
But to try and make a start, being of a certain age, I recognise Extra i as overweight private detective Frank Cannon (played by William Conrad), and his Lincoln Continental, from the American TV series "Cannon", first shown in the 1970s. I think the architecture link is with 5, the rotunda in the Cannon House office building in Washington DC (though there seems to be a mistake somewhere, as the "answers" post has 5 as the Domus Aurea, which I think is a different picture).
But the car link is the problem. I thought I had found a Hotchkiss, which would have fitted, but it has already been identified as an Amilcar. So all I have at the moment is the possibility that Car M could be the bodyshell of a Mike Cannon trials car, but it's a bit of a guess.
Car N : Renault 12 Camargue

Your right twice: at first I made a mistake and didn't check the number for Domus Aurea. So, the Fata Aurea is unlocked again now.
Secondly, the combination M-5-i is absolutely correct and perfectly identified, as car M is indeed a Cannon trials car bodyshell.

W-12-? : is Cliff Hall the connection ?
For today's attempt I'll try H-6-e, where I think the link is the name Surirey.
If you google "Peugeot 403 ambulance", which is what H looks to be, the name crops up as a coachbuilder in Flers, Normandy. It seems that they did some car bodies, but were more concerned with station wagons and commercial vehicles, and made something of a speciality of ambulance conversions.
Googling the name on its own soon brings up Extra e, a paratrooper called Michel Surirey, standing on a Simca Ariane, which is itself balancing on two wheels, being driven by a stuntman called Jean Sunny, who is described as "world champion of motor acrobatics". Photo taken in the Bois de Boulogne, Paris in 1959.
It also brings up Architecture 6, which leads to the website of a company called Surirey Jagou. As this was founded in 1939, and has the same address as the ambulance converter, I'd guess it's the same firm, though now a specialist metalworking company rather than a coachbuilder. 6 is part of their offices at 18 Rue du Parc, Flers.

As this was founded in 1939, and has the same address as the ambulance converter, I'd guess it's the same firm, though now a specialist metalworking company rather than a coachbuilder. 6 is part of their offices at 18 Rue du Parc, Flers.

I'm not certain about this one but I'll try O-9-n.
I think Car O is a Hanomag, maybe a 3/16 PS, but I could be wrong. The architecture link would be with 9, the ex-Hanomag factory in Hanover, which I'm sure has appeared here before.
The problem has been finding an extra. I know that Hanomag was progressively taken over by the Japanese Komatsu corporation, who now occupy the Hanover building, but that didn't seem to help until I browsed the "history" section of Komatsu's website. There it says that they produced Japan's first agricultural tractor in 1931, and the picture is Extra n. That surprised me, as I assumed n was a Caterpillar 2-ton crawler - it certainly looks just like one. I haven't found any mention of a licensing agreement, so did they just make a blatant copy of the Caterpillar, like some Japanese camera manufacturers made literal copies of Leica and Rolleiflex models?

Right building, wrong conclusion.
I had also spotted the Hofbräuhaus, having been there a few years ago, but had come round to thinking that the initials HB were relevant, rather than Munich. Hofbräuhaus has become an international franchise, and its logo consists of the conjoined letters H and B (as below).
I have spent a lot of time looking at Car X, which looks like a mid-1930s Morris, but with a different radiator, which also looks to have been moved forwards by about 20 to 30 cm. I eventually found some other photos of it, showing that it had been converted to steam power (hence the radiator is actually a condenser). These showed a UK registration number FBP 698, and on checking the DVLA website (UK Driver and Vehicle Licensing Authority), it is registered as "HB Steamer".
So I think Car X and Architecture 8 are linked by the initials "HB", but I am currently unable to link an "Extra" to them.

No, but one of these buildings has a relationship to Georges Irat.
13 is "La Sapiniere" where Georges Irat rented a part of the building as his first family home, was at 2 Avenue Corot in Le Vesinet , which is a town near Chatou, place of the first factory of Georges Irat.

Well found! This leaves two cars unidentified.
I'm not certain about this one, as I haven't managed to identify the car element, so it's a sort of reverse-engineering job.
I think the combination is E-15-z. Working backwards, Extra z is a 1920s Jowett, and with that and the name on the side of the bonnet, it's possible to identify the man sitting in it as Robert Ellison. He would go on to drive a Jowett Jupiter in the 1952 Monte Carlo Rally - not successfully, as it happens, as he crashed during the event. The car he drove was a coupe with bodywork by J E Farr & Sons of Blackburn, Lancashire.
This seems to be relevant, as Architecture 15 is called the Farr Building in Allentown, Pennsylvania, once a shoe factory and retail outlet, but now mostly up-market apartments.
But the car is the problem. I'm guessing it's E, and bodied by Farr, but I haven't been able to prove it. It's not Ellison's Monte Carlo car, which was restored, and still exists. Is it another Farr-bodied Jupiter? One did come up for sale recently, in need of restoration, but the listing no longer has any pictures. Or am I barking up the proverbial wrong one?

Yes, another superb puzzle - thank you.
Just one thing (as Columbo used to say). Do you have any other pictures of the Farr-bodied Jowett Jupiter (Car E)? I couldn't find any apart from one old photo of the front. I'm assuming it's the car registered FRJ 351.
Great work Wendax, that was a fun group puzzle !
