Katrina: $400/Norine: $600/Danielle: $2K
First Cars Clue from Sarah inside the Crawford Auto-Aviation Museum in Cleveland, OH:
“The eventual decline of Cleveland’s luxury auto-making industry was influenced in part by the mass-production of cheaper, simpler models, like this classic from Ford.”
Norine: “What is the Model T?” ($2400)
$400:
Discontinued in 2002 (but set to be revived next yr.), this classic Lincoln was originally created as a personal car for Edsel Ford.
Danielle: “What is a Town Car?” ($800)
$600:
Some people are “supercharged” over this Chevy model that gets up to 380 miles on a full charge & a full tank of gas.
Danielle: “What is the Volt?” ($1400)
Let’s put those clues aside at least for now as Norine selects the DD at the end of It’s Hyphenated & she’s now $600 ahead w/ $3200 over Danielle ($2600) & Katrina (g-spot). The face value’s opted for.
Named for a cave in France, these prehistoric humans were skillful artists & toolmakers.
“What is Cro-Magnon?” would be right.

Not the foggiest idea comes out of Katrina’s mouth- that was South Sudan’s. She does claim another chance buried within the $800 Walt Whitman page & is in 2nd w/ $6400, a respectable $1800 off of Danielle. This is for $2K & 1st place.
Whitman paid homage to this man “…fallen cold and dead” in his poem “O Captain! My Captain!”.
