I got Jane Seymour, the Mock Turtle and the Ford colour (which did come only in black after a few years of production. They couldn't keep up with demand and black was the quickest drying colour, so other colours were dropped for several years).
As for the other questions, I had no ideas whatsoever!
Well done for getting three correct. You are spot-on about the Model T Ford and the quick drying paint to keep up demand. The supposed quote came some time later.

I had a black Ford Popular, sit up and beg type. That only came in gray normally and the black was a rare beast. Wish I'd kept hold of it.

Rare indeed @jonsie . Be worth a couple of quid now...
You`ve brought back childhood memories of the late 50s when my dad had a Ford Popular [I think that`s what it was] in beige...

Beige would have been rare too, never saw one myself. I was a mechanic straight from school and worked on loads of them, such a simple side valve engine which could be overhauled in about five hours with new rings and a decoke.

Sorry you didn`t do so well this week but as @pgn said some of the questions were "fiendishly difficult".
As the subjects vary from week to week, maybe you`ll fair better this week, with the questions chosen from - People; Music; Words; Games; Geography; and Science.
I hope you, and others, will play along and let us know how you did after the results are given.
