Check this link and answer the questions. Post your score here (and be honest). I got 40 out of 48 and confess that I had a couple of lucky guesses. I was probably sure about 35. GOOD LUCK MAKE SURE THAT YOU START FROM THE BEGINNING

Easy!

I screwed up on two of the Mercurys, but other than the '52 & '54 Mercurys, I got everything else right.

My results, as copied from the final page of that site, are:

You got 96% (46 right out of 48). The average score is 73%

100%. Only had to glance at most. Re-arranged answers on two questions. I could also name the models for most of those makes and years that were not shown.

Got 42 out of 48, I'm sure many of the younger generation would have a bit harder time with this quizz having not grown up with many of these cars..

Why thank you. Its odd to know I have a groupie. But, as long as you are here, I wonder if you can look a little harder for that gold star.

85% for me. The Mercury, Henry J and Willys models were my big mistakes.
Probably because there weren't any local dealers for those particular Models near where I grew up. We had a Ford dealership but for some reason he hated Mercuries.

I got a 85%. The Chrysler cars threw me off a little as I'm a GM man. Dodge and Desoto were the killers for me. Others were no sweat. Being an old fart was in my favor I guess having grown up before and during those yrs....still a nice bit of car knowledge for any age.

96% 45 out of 56 the Chrysler's were my downfall, but Chrysler's were the downfall of anyone who would buy one

Does anyone remember the auto trans shifting by the buttons on the dash and the rolling spedo numbers during the late 1950 Chrysler cars? They turned into a pain after a while.
