East for me would just be years. I'm not a huge classic car nut, but I know that only the Corvette and T-Bird were around in the '50s, and then you have the iconic '57 Corvette. It's a much harder question when they don't give you a list of potential answers.

Yeah I should have listed cars around in the 50s or just make it an open ended question like it was originally on Jeopardy.

"What is the Thunderbird or T-Bird" would be enough to answer the question correctly. The question only wants the model, not the make.

I was thinking T-Bird. Total car guy question. Not a 30 year old Yuppie question.

Add to the fact that it was ugly and way overpriced.
