While I try to make the mix of puzzles I post balanced, I have not gone so far as to employ national origin quotas. 

My comment was just be cause sometimes I have an idea but in most of the cases no clue on US cars...

Same here, but we have to accept that where the good folk, whose site we play on, are based must infuence them a bit!

Back to no. 13. Is this a Eustace Watkins Daytona type Wolseley Hornet Special?

12: this one is the toughest carquiz I have ever seen the only detail I can see is the rear window, so I have checked Ford Consul (UK), Ford Capri (Europe), E-Type, 911, I do not believe any of these are correct

Here's some help: That's the windshield, driver's door (with vent window) and rear quarter window of an American automobile which sold in huge numbers. The front of the car is toward the lower left of thie picture. The shape of the rear quarter window should be the most help in ID'ing this one.

This car's moniker was revived by this manufacturer, and another in Europe, more than once.

With that nice juicy pitch right down the middle of the plate, I'm going to ask for make, model and model year for #12.

Not one of those...

Is No. 17 a Triumph Spitfire?

[Otto Puzzell]

Is No. 17 a Triumph Spitfire?

Good eye! It's a Triumph Spitfire 1500

[neilshouse]

I'm guessing that #10 is a Lancia Dilambda.

[Ray B.]

#9= 1957 Cadillac (I believe series 62)

[Ray B.]

#1= 1966 Dodge Coronet ?

[Otto Puzzell]

Not a Chrysler product of any kind.

[Ray B.]

#9= 1957 Cadillac (I believe series 62)

And this one ?

[Otto Puzzell]

I'm guessing that #10 is a Lancia Dilambda.

No...

[Otto Puzzell]

#9= 1957 Cadillac (I believe series 62)

It's a '57 Cadillac alright - in this case, an Eldorado Biarritz

[Otto Puzzell]

Lots of points for the taking, and lots of fresh, juicy clues!
