The car on the left is a 1950 DeSoto, probably a DeLuxe. |

And on the right, a Plymouth Special 1941...am I right Professor SatSim? |

No, on the right is a Cadillac Series 75, probably the same one mentioned in this film already. .gif ":)") -- Last edit: 2005-10-20 19:56:28 |

...o my god!...I'll never manage it!!! |

Hey, DeSoto already had a page! There is no space between "De" and "Soto". Look further down the list of makes. .gif ";)") |

is it same rule for DeLuxe? |
|
◊ 2005-10-20 20:35 |
Absolutely, there shall be a space |
|

If it is the same rule, there is no space... but you say "Absolutely" while saying the opposite  |
|

I was a little fast when reading this, but there shall be a space between De and Soto as well as between De and Luxe. |

On internet there are 2x more "DeSoto" than "De Soto". About the "DeLuxe"/"De Luxe", I also saw it more often without space. It is the same problem with lots of composed names actually... (like DeLorean) |

It´s not a problem really and you give the key to it, they are composed names of two different words. And even if they belong together as a name or a kind of label it is not correct to write them without this space. |

In the US lots of multi-word names are written as one word (well, it is the case for names, maybe not for makes...) |

Juste une question de convention, le tout est que tout le monde se mette d'accord. A propos de convention: sur les dates de véhicules, je considère la première année de production d' une version donnée...ex Dodge 1946-1948==> année indiquée 1946, comme année de type... |

C'est ce qu'on fait aussi en général (à moins de pouvoir identifier l'année précisément) -- Last edit: 2005-10-21 00:41:34 |

Names again... I think it is not of importance what we or any linguists say is right or wrong, but what the owner of the name says (or said, in many cases). Usually, if the maker no longer exists, there are still a lot of brochures in collector's hands, and many scans of these in the internet. Just have a look. But beware of some fan-pages. Very often they don't know exactly, too. In this case look at the add: Link to "www.zanesville.ohiou.edu" Definitely 'De Soto'. The same is true for 'De Lorean' ... at least most of the time. http://www.mclellansautomotive.com/sales-lit/bymake/delorean/index.shtml De Luxe / DeLuxe / Deluxe is a different story. There is not one correct way to write it (provided we still don't ask the linguists). Depending on the maker's fancy you can find all the variants. It is only important for us to choose the correct one for a specific car. As there will always be a bit of confusion about names a glossary would be a nice thing to have. This connected with a look-up-table for the search routines would let us find all vehicles on IMCDb. -- Last edit: 2005-10-21 01:06:59 |

DeLorean is a bigger problem: it is not a space, it is a very thin space! About the glossary, a good idea would be to put these info (and the discussion that comes with them) on the IMCDb section of my forum (or I could install a forum on imcdb.org if needed, but I can add categories on my forum if needed) -- Last edit: 2005-10-21 09:45:58 |

Ahh Pennsylvania Station http://nyc-architecture.com/GON/GON004.htm, one of the great losses of the 20th century. -- Last edit: 2011-07-25 20:41:07 |
