I’ll be taking a mental health day today, so we’ll skip this week’s Six Degrees of Automotive Separation Challenge. However, in the meantime, Kit Foster has suggested an alternative brain tickler. In response to a question about the hyphenation of Advance-Design Chevrolet trucks, Kit thought he’d offer up several famous makes or model names, the hyphenation of which is seemingly always up for creative interpretation:
rolls/royce
isotta/fraschini
advance/design
step/down
lincoln/zephyr
aston/martin
rambler/classic
daimler/chrysler
hydra/matic
ford/o/matic
merc/o/matic
hy/drive
stanley/steamer
detroit/electric
austin/healey
de/dion/bouton/trepardoux
Your challenge, then, is to correctly hyphenate and capitalize the above list, backing up your answers with evidence in the form of either badges as they appear on the cars (as I did with the Lincoln Zephyr above), or in the form of factory-issued literature.
