This one should be easy too.

1958 Ford Fairlane Galaxy. Try to find pics without badges. I feel like I cheated.

It's a 1959 Galaxy town sedan to be more precise. It also has the Fairlane 500 script on it.

Correct, Lincoln Zephyr! This was a 2 door convertible.

I wonder how you got that one. This car was supposed to be a one off.

Well, they were incredibly expensive cars sold to the incredibly wealthy. Perhaps that one had some coachbuilt exclusive features that made it one of one, the dual cowl, the paint scheme, I'm certainly no expert on Locomobiles.if it had not been for the pic of the engine, I wouldn't have decided it. But there weren't many brass era six cylinders that had the pistons running parallel like that.

This first one should be easy:




And since we are doing engine pics; although this timeless marque, which inspired a common term for excellence, is long gone, the engine builder lives on.




And, how about a scooter: This company was allowed, in advertising to compare itself favorably to one of the finest cars ever made.



*bonus if you can name the engine builders in each of the last two picks

1987(?) Pontiac Grand Prix Aero Coupe

Dusenberg (Model J?)

Not sure about the bike. It looks like a Harley-Davidson to me, but most V twins look alike to me

Yes ('86)
Yes (who made the engine?)
No

Lycoming.

I have no idea on the bike. I assume it is an American bike. Is that the gearbox in front of the frame?
Indian? Again, just an uninformed guess.

I could have fun hanging out at car shows with some of you guys.

It is English

I believe that is the magneto, but I have never been close to one of these.
They were owned by such notables as George Bernard Shaw and T.E. Lawrence (who died crashing one)

Ok. I looked at the Google. I won't give it away for those who haven't got to guess yet. But I've never heard of them.

A motorcycle guy will know immediately, if you ask him, "What kind of bike did Lawrence of Arabia ride?"

Looks like an Audi tt

Ford Explorer.

That's what I thought at first but think further southwest.

$35,000 Amphicar

Lets see who gets this one. ( photo-shopped a bit)

'68-'69 Fairlane or Torino

Ding ding ding !! Your right.

quote Originally posted by 82-T/A [At Work]: It looks really well done, but if I'm not mistaken, it looks like the engine is in the back? I'm curious why the creator of this car would go through all the hassle when it's still rear-engined? It seems it would make more sense to start off with a car that was front engined / rear wheel drive...

VW is cheap and was eazy to use with the pan/frame

but there were ford pinto versions front motor RWD built
but they need a frame built so cost more and took more skill

but a real bug is eazy to spot
every little detail on the car is a work of art
and with value today
a street driven one is a fake for sure

Oh wow! ^^^ Nice lines. I know what it is. (Only after your hint. )

Tony

So they started selling French cars in the USA? From the styling, it looks like a Peugeot, but none of the French manufacturers are currently doing business in the states.

Probably too easy for most car guys

I even included part of the badge

Avanti

That car was amazing. So far ahead of its time. It still looks great.
