You got 100% (48 right out of 48). The average score is 73%

Even when I was in grade school in the late forties, I could identify by make, just about any thing coming down the street by its grill.

Try this one. A case of your favorite brew to the first one to get it by make/model/year.........


I almost bought a new one that had been flood damaged at the dealership. Didn't want to take on the unknown expenses to the engine/drivetrain/suspension. Didn't have the $2400 either.

Not bad for me, born in 58'.


Stude Avanti. 62-63? I used to drool over one in an old ladies front yard (it was pretty oxidized from sun damage). I tried to get her to sell but it was her sons and he was "out of state". It even had the matching luggage.

Wow. A very tough test. And yes, I did research probably 6-8 when I wasn't sure.

Meh. I don't do well with AMC and Chrysler products. Keep in mind that Chrysler and AMC stuff equated to JUNK when I was a kid (except Chrysler's engines, which kicked ass), so I didn't pay a lot of attention to those models.  All in all, though, very tough tests. The differences between the models are very subtle.

Too many Buicks and other makes I never cared about. The Chevy's I got right.

I got 68, I only know Fords and Chevys. Never owned or cared to look at anything else.
"Liberalism is an essentially feminine, submissive world view. Perhaps a better adjective than feminine is infantile. It is the world view of men who do not have the moral toughness, the spiritual strength to stand up and do single combat with life, who cannot adjust to the reality that the world is not a huge, pink-and-blue, padded nursery in which the lions lie down with the lambs and everyone lives happily ever after."
