      I do remember Western Auto. I also remember J.C. Whitney and Warshafsky & Co. mail order companies; they had two different addresses that were entrances to the same warehouse on different perpendicular streets. The company dropped the Warshafsky & Co. name a while ago and morphed into Carparts.com last year, I believe.

      A rumble seat required a different rear configuration. Here's a 1937 Plymouth, for example:

        An attorney arrived home late, after a very tough day trying to get a stay of execution for a client who was due to be hanged for murder at midnight. His last-minute plea for clemency to the governor had failed and he was feeling worn out and depressed.

        As soon as he walked through the door at home, his wife started on at him: “What time of night to be getting home is this? Where have you been? Dinner is cold and I’m not reheating it.” On and on and on she complained.

        Too shattered to play his usual role in this familiar ritual, he went and poured himself a shot of whiskey and headed off for a long hot soak in the bathtub, pursued by the predictable sarcastic remarks as he dragged himself up the stairs.

        While he was in the bath, the phone rang.

        The wife answered and was told that her husband’s client, James Wright, had been granted a stay of execution after all. Wright would not be hanged tonight.

        Finally realising what a terrible day he must have had, she decided to go upstairs and give him the good news.

        As she opened the bathroom door, she was greeted by the sight of her husband, bent over naked, drying his legs and feet.

        “They’re not hanging Wright tonight,” she said.
        To which he whirled around and screamed: “FOR THE LOVE OF GOD, WOMAN, DON’T YOU EVER STOP?”

          @j-jericho I think that one might be a "business coupe." Such cars were made for "traveling salesmen." They were 2-seaters with huge trunks for traveling salesmen to carry samples and small inventories.

                                What do you mean: "Which one?" 1, 2, 4, 5, 6, 7, and 8 are different... which reminds me of the joke about the guy who gets a call from his wife while he's in his car, and she says: "I just heard on the radio that some maniac is driving the wrong way on the interstate; please be careful.", to which he replies: "It's worse than that, dear. They're all driving the wrong way!"

                                    Well, now that just takes the humor right out of the equation now, doesn’t it?
                                    Haha. Also, number 7 has its eyeball looking up, and 3, besides me coloring it in has fewer tail feather divisions.
                                    I think the genius is to realize you don’t want to waste your time studying the minutiae.
                                    I think JJericho is also right. They are all different.

                                      Sorry! Maybe this will put the humor back into it:
                                      Why does a chicken coop have two doors?

                                      Because if it had four doors, it would be a chicken sedan!

                                            We geniuses should know better than to waste our time trying to stare at these visual puzzles and finally figure out there are differences all over the place!

                                            I'm still on this thread looking for these puzzles!
