I don't think Bedford is a car.
Ford isn't a place name?

Ford is the only one that was an American president. Let's not go there!
I think you are right about Bedford. Never heard of a car maker named Auburn though, but it is a colour - the others are not, but they do all make vehicles.
Ford is a village in Shropshire, UK.

This one is like of troy’s original. Seven sets of four, all mixed up between different lines, and each with an odd one out.
split-tin, gold, toe, silver
White, carbon, Siamese, narrow
mulberry, Coburg, Red, diamond
Rhine, Vienna, finger, Persian
fishing, tabby, cotton, platinum
sailing, Green, foot, sandwich
rice, Manx, flying, hand

Bedford made vans and trucks. The Bedford J3 truck was an icon in New Zealand right through the 1950s and 1960s. Close enough, but.

I'm still not sure I understand what we're trying to produce. Something like "a collection of four words, such that any subset of three has something in common not shared by the fourth" ?
Along the lines of
"red, orange, bell, conquerer" -- conquerer is not a kind of pepper -- bell is not the appellation of a figure in Middle Ages European history (Eric the Red, William of Orange, William the Conquerer) -- orange is not... (but red, bell, and conquerer are - racehorces, maybe?) -- red is not ...
(Wits and time fail me at this moment.)
Is that what we're looking for?

I thought so, but I was thrown for a loop by dxb's "all mixed up between different lines" (I thought of troy presented a "set" which were independent of each other)...

Helen started us off with, I believe, a fousome that could have either of two odd balls, I challenged us to come up with a foursome any one of which could be considered an odd ball. So, yes, that's what we're looking for, although twos and threes should still be welcome. I'd suggest that any list posted explicitly state the number of odd balls desired.
