If they had a '74, there would have been questions like:

"In what year did the rear view mirror expand from 8" to 10" wide?"

"What was the last year without catalytic converters"

"What was the last model year during which Zora was Chief Engineer"

36% for me too.

The most common number. We need to create a sub-club. "The 36ers"?

12 of 25...drat...tricky ones there....Guess I need to study a bit more, but it was fun to think about all of those questions. Honestly, do I really car about a 305 Corvette???? other than to pick up one cheap and shove a ZZ4 into it?

68% for me. When I saw that score I was embarrassed, but after I read the other posts it seems I'm in good company with most of you. Last year for red stripe tires????? C'mon - that's pretty down in the weeds. Someone would really have to study the Black Book to know that... Fun quiz, though.

I agree Dave. I scored 60%, which was not too bad compared to some LOL

. (Did you see that, Chuck?) Unlike Larry's 50's car quiz, this one more about the finer details of the options on C3s. (The first year that leather seats were standard? Who knows?)

Larry's 50's quiz was more general and visual about the cars we all grew up with Thumbs Up

. I did pretty well on that one, 90%.

Enjoyed them both, thanks for posting Smile

Hey Dean,

Yea I saw that. But one thing to keep in mind; you're a lot older than me so you have had many, many more years to learn this stuff. Smile
