GRAN (Canaria island)
VILLE (Pontiac Grand ville)
ISLAND (island)
VAN (Diesel)
COUVER (French for “brood”)

I honestly thought @Darlinboy had as much chance of getting that one, as I had getting the Hobart one! Two awards. One also for @JimInOz for interpreting the clues correctly, but leaving the rebus to @Darlinboy to solve.

Following on from @JimInOz ’s serendipitous solve, here’s another.
Each picture alludes to a separate clue, and so requires a separate answer.

No hints, except that you might want to solve it before Jim does…

I can see your point @JimInOz but it’s not Vivaldi.
This might help: Op. 37a

Ah yes.
"The", not "Four".
Target fixation, once your brain "sees" an answer it becomes hard to consider other solutions.

Edit:

In the interest of fairness, I can see @Darlinboy offered the correct answer(s) in a timely fashion, so it’s a gold star for him!

Too easy for even a hint, except to say the answer has three parts. 🍿

p.s. That last black square is just a blank, not part of the answer.
