We know you have been busy during the past Christmas holidays, because we received a truckload of answers to our six-part Quiz. And 24 of you had all answers correct! For the full list see ‘Read More’. But first the explanation:
Day 1: Cadillac. We thought this one was easy. All you had to do was enter the word “admiral” in the search box on the top of the PreWarCar homepage and then the first hit would have been this 1941 Cadillac. Never used our search box before? Try it, and you’ll find a wealth of pre-war information at your fingertips.
Day 2: Austin. The Wolseley sheep shearing machines were made in Australia and when Wolseley wanted to set up a British branch in Birmingham, he employed Herbert Austin as works manager. In December 1905 Austin founded the motor manufacturing company that bore his name. The doorhandles belonged to a 1938 Austin Big Seven.
Day 3: Steyr. The easiest thing to do was to google the name of Karl Jenschke and in return you would have been rewarded with the name “Steyr”. What we showed you was the 1938 Steyr Type 55.
Day 4: Willys-Knight. A bit cryptic this one, as the salesman who sold over land was John North Willys. In 1908 Willys became president of the Overland Automobile Company. In 1912 he bought the Edwards Motor company and also secured the rights for the Knight engine. In 1914 he formed Willys-Knight. The General Purpose car is of course the Jeep. Our photo shows a 1928 70A.
Day 5: Vauxhall. On day five of the quiz we showed you the doorhandle of a 1924 Vauxhall OE 30-98, which was the successor to the famous Vauxhall Prince Henry.
Day 6: Citroen. Not many failed to recognize the famous Citroën 2CV. What we showed you was not a prototype, but one of the 250 built in August/September 1939 for exhibition at the Paris Motor show of that year, but which for obvious reasons never took place. Only four of these production models still exist.
We threw all answers in the proverbial hat and the names of first six that we took out again will be rewarded with the PreWarCar poloshirt. They are: Bart Oosterling; Dermot Johnson; Gigio Isola; Jeff Hansen; Jonathan Baker and Roger Fields. From the remaining correct answers we took out the name of Vladimir Perkic and decided to reward him with the PreWarCar Calendar. Congratulations to all! See you next Saturday again with a ‘normal’ quiz.
