Puzzle Description:

Collector Car Appreciation Day! Model T, Porsche, Edsel, Delorean, BMW Isetta (three-wheeler)

Yay, I'm a huge car fan. My family has collected for at least 3 generations!

Any PBNers have one (or more)?

I'll start: My paternal grandfather, who died before I was born, had a livery service featuring Cadillacs, Packards and Lincolns.

My father had (at different times) a 1940 Cadillac, 1956 Bentley saloon, and a stunning 1928 Packard convertible.

I've had 2 Mercedes SLs (1998 SL600 with a V-12, and a 1985 280SL Euro spec, grey market import), a 1985 Alfa Romeo Spider, and a show-winning 2013 Bentley Continental GTC LeMans Edition convertible.

Yes, I've been extremely fortunate!

Who else out there?

With just minimal pixels and in head-on views, no less, you've completely captured them all. This is great! Well done and thank you, Brash.

Thanks Lollipop!

I forgot to mention that the Isetta's door is actually the front (that's the handle on the right). That would be my dream car, but not street-legal here....
We've had Peugeots, a Citreon (which truly was a lemon), a few cars named Scoobydubaru, and my beloved Suzie, a Suzuki Sidekick, who unfortunately liked to flirt with big trucks (she met her ending after a love tap on her backside from an 18-wheeler, which sent her careening off first one side -- Jersey wall -- then the other side of the road, an accident I walked away from....)

I also once left my contact info on the windshield of a Deux-Chevaux here in America hoping they would contact me if they decided to sell....its windows folded rather than rolled down.

My parents used to have an Isetta dealership, before I was born. When I was a kid I had a toy Isetta car that I think was all that was left of the dealership by then. It had the classic Isetta door that opened in the front of the car which, because I was maybe three years old, seemed totally normal to me.

Brash, a car that flirts with big trucks is scary, and that accident sounds REALLY scary! I'm glad you are okay!!!

BRASH, I second what Valerie said about accidents.

At one time we owned a 1959 Jeep Willys station wagon with a winch on the front of it.

Really cute puzzle and lots of fun. More, please.

At least one a day! I'm wondering though why almost no one else is making new puzzles? Where's Brian?
#11: Valerie Mates (valerie) on Jul 17, 2023
I think people make puzzles in waves. Maybe he is between waves?
#12: BRASH ATAOM (BRASHatAOM) on Jul 17, 2023
I didn't realize he is a surfer....lol.

I agree with lollipop here. I love your work with smaller puzzles, and your ability to get a good picture from them. This is no exception! Great work!
