Car W : Corwin Getaway.
Architecture 12 : Ferguson Unit, 12120 Savage Drive, Midway, Texas, United States, as shown in 1972 "The Getaway" movie.
Extra N : Ferguson tractor ?
Car W and Architecture 12 correct, so combination W-12-? locked for you.
Extra n is not a Ferguson tractor.

Is "Ferguson" the connection though ?

Let's try something : Extra C is Prince Philip with his Bedford Lucas Electric van, and Sarah Ferguson married Prince Philip's son.

Yes

Was that building built after 1900 ?

Is the building in Arles represented as a drawing in this puzzle ?

Wendax

Quaerite et invenietis! It is not as difficult as you might think.

I've spent hours browsing Arles pictures and nothing came out. Architecture 10 looks a bit like Les Ateliers / LUMA area but I couldn't find this very place. Am I close ?

Wendax

No, look at the car and the extra of this combination. Then you should have part of the building's name.

And another one solved.

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.

G-1-?

Car G : Renault Estafette Castor by Sinpar.
Architecture 1 : Temple of Castor and Pollux, Agrigento, Sicily.

Is "Castor" the connection for the extra ?

A perfect answer!

So far correct. Combination G-1-? locked for you, and Castor is a good idea to follow.

Should have done more work. Architecture 24 is the Domus Aurea.

is the connection about one of the engineers at FATA?
No, but getting closer"

This is very enigmatic. So is it about one of the founders of FATA?

pnegyesi

"K-?-q: Magyar Álom (Hungarian Dream) - ? - UAZ by HICOX (Locked for pnegyesi)"

Is the connection is about a Dream? Like a Dream Palace?

W-12-? : is the connection related to The Getaway movie ?

oko94

G-1-? : is Extra S a cruise ship operated by Castor Shipping ?

Now you've found Domus Aurea I-24-? will be locked again for you.
It is not about a person, rather about the car and the company.
