Scored exact same as beginner test - 68%. BUT, it should have been 72% seeing as I'm 99.9% sure the answer to #15 is wrongo. Any '76ers agree with me?

I don't have a 76, but I agree with you too. I was going to say the same thing

Fun quiz though

Thanks!

68% fer me too... Ouch

And yer right...their answer to #15 IS wrong. The Stingray name WAS dropped for the '77 model year, but some early '77s DID have the Stingray badges on the front fenders. IT is definitely NOT '75, tho that's what they have. Several of the questions are tricky....overall it's not a good "quiz", since it does kinda perpetuate some old wive's tales, and falsehoods...

Joel, other than the Stingray name badge thing, what are some of the other wive's tales and falsehoods? Inquiring minds want to know! Love this history and trivia stuff....

"Only Bowling Green painted two-toned Sharks/St. Louis never produced two toned Sharks"
Not true...ever see a '78 Pace Car? Built in St. Louis.

"The first few '53 Corvettes off the assy line refused to start, due to not having grounds, since the engineers didn't realize fiberglass would not conduct electricity".
Really? Gimmie a break....the friggin original '52-built Autorama car was drivable, so you have to assume they knew BEFORE the actual assy line started up that separate grounds were needed for the systems.

Now...back to the quiz topic...

Same as last quiz, 60%. One question that I did know was #15. Thumbs Up

The last year for the Stingray name badge was 76, but I couldn't remember what the right wrong answer was. Confused

Should have been 64%. Thumbs Up

Well I had fun and I know nothing about the C3. My score shall for ever be know only to me. Could someone post the correct answers in a couple of days?
