Even though I am pushing 57 years on this here globe, and was a dedicated car nut from an early age, my 'expertise' did not really start until at least the mid-60s models. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/wink.gif) |

73%.....ugh. That was hard. I've never even heard of a couple of those names. I think Studebaker was the only one I could pick out with no problem. That's probably from growing up with "Home Improvement".
I do wish cars looked like they did in the 50s. You can really see the passion manufacturers put into cars. |

Oh no...
Name the test what it actually is. Are you a 50's car guy? I got 42% right with a lot of guessing....and I'm still confident I'm a 'car guy', and I'm completely ok with not being an 'old car guy'. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Costas cars and such... |

77% Identifying which car is which was not as big a problem as what car was what year.

53%, I think we can sort everyone by score and come up with a good idea of who is older/younger.
Did anyone else notice a few thirdgens in the background? |

I got 73% I was on a roll for a while, got tripped up on the real early stuff.
Mopar, Ford and Chevy are easy, boy there were some ugly oddball cars made back then. The first time I was 100mph was early 60's with my dad in a hemi DeSoto, taking the car up to grandpas farm to retire it. Brought home a 49 Chrysler New Yorker with a straight 8. I was riding with my mom in a 57 Plymouth, RF LBJ let go, wheel flopped over and ripped the brake line off - we were on a 4 lane divided so were probably going 65mph - she just calmly let it slow down and guided it onto the shoulder. I remember watching the shower of sparks behind us. I don't miss the old cars at all. |
