We rummaged through our emblem collection and pulled out a couple of engine displacement pieces – can you name what make and model the following emblems come from? There are several right answers for some of them.
Have fun, and thanks for playing!

Wild Guesses at a glance:
1. Alfa or something Italian
2. Ford Granada or something German

1) Early ’70s Alfa GTV

Number 2 is defiantly a Saab 9000 / NG900 emblem.
Number 4 is Renault.
Most have been answered correctly or very close.
1. Late 1960’s Alfa Berlinetta/Giulietta/Spyder
2. Saab 9000 CS/CSE or New Generation 900, 1990’s.
3. Something obscure from the Soviet Bloc
4. 1980’s Renault. Could be a couple of different models. 18, Fuego, 20
5. Jaguar
6. BMW CS or Bavaria, early-mid 1970’s
7. Mercedes-Benz 300 SE 4.5, early 1970’s
3. is not as obscure as you think. It was sold in the U.S. – want more hints?
Sure, but just a hint, not the answer. Also could you chime in as soon as there is a definite correct answer?
@J. Mccarthy: #1= 2000cc wasn’t released until 1971MY, and Alfa never produced any car named “Spyder”. They did however, make a “Spider”.
1 Alfa 2000 (spider) /GTV
2 Saab 900/9000
3 Datsun 1800
4 Renault 20
5 Jaguar xj6
6 BMW 3.0 csl
7 Mercedes w112 300 SEL 4.5
Everything is correct except for 3. That one’s throwing a lot of people off.
3. Fiat Convertible early 1970’s
Good eye!
