Identify old cars game
For you old timers, can you identify all these cars? Beat my score. I got 47 out of 48.

Re: Identify old cars game
Thanks Danny, that was fun! You beat me, my score was 44 right out of 48. I got the Chrysler New Yorker mixed with the DeSoto Fire Dome (both Chrysler products) and the Henry J with the Kaiser Manhattan
Many of these models were never introduced to South Africa where I grew up spotting cars with my older brother during our teens. The period of the 50s and 60s is still my favourite...with ease

Re: Identify old cars game
I got 36 of 48 for 75%, which is above average so I'm happy with that! I guess hanging out with my Dad at car shows was more educational than I realized.

Ooof, I'm afraid to even try. Believe it or not I probably would have done better at this game when I was 10.

Re: Identify old cars game
That game was a LOT of fun. I didn't do all that well, but I sure enjoyed looking at all the lovely cars. Many of them I had never seen before.
Thanks, Danny!

Re: Identify old cars game
I grew up around race cars and have worked on cars all my life but was never interested in old or classic cars. I would not do well with this test. LOL

Re: Identify old cars game
Hey Danny, that was tons of fun, I actually got 40 out of 48
. In their feedback suggestion box, I mentioned to them that
it would be kewl to follow up with the muscle cars of the 60s. I might see my Thunderchicken if they decide to do it

Re: Identify old cars game
I got 40 out of 48 too. Botched the one with all the Chryslers, missed the Willys and a few others. Amazing how you could tell a car year by year. Can't do that with modern cars.
Thanks for sharing Danny!

Re: Identify old cars game
I thought this was up my alley but the ol' mind ain't what it used to be. I don't know how far back I'd have to go to get a better score but for a guy that hasn't driven since the late 1980s, I didn't do too bad with: You got 79% (38 right out of 48). The average score is 73%
Back in the '60s I used to know more about cars more than most car salesmen, having learned in the pages of MECHANIX ILLUSTRATED from my favorite automotive author Thomas Jay McCahill III (1907-1975). When I lived in Miami in 1964 I spent 24 hours in Sebring, sleeping on a hard bench!
You're good, Danny.

Re: Identify old cars game
I broke down and took the test. I got 39 out of 48 right. You would never guess that I have painted show cars that have gotten trophies and as little as 3 years ago had a 1954 5 window Chevy p/u that I totally rebuilt on the cover of a magazine.
