PAFW - Cars of a Different Stripe - Solved by Aaron65, Allemano and João

Otto Puzzell · February 05, 2011, 08:11:26 AM

A common tactic for making cars look faster or sportier (to some eyes), or to differentiate the special models from their more mundane stable mates, was to add stripes and other graphics. Often these were tape decals or appliqués, sometimes they were created with actual paint. And sometimes, special graphics were made to make bona-fide special cars and one-offs even more eye-catching - just the thing for auto shows and exhibition runs. Below you'll find a variety of such 'looks fast' decorations.

To score points, identify these cars, using the snapshots of their graphic add-ons.

Enjoy!

With the exception of getting the years wrong in a couple of cases, spot-on. Since I didn't ask for the year, I'm not going to ding you for that.
