Larry, I was down with dad last night and needed something to do. So I let him take your quiz. he got 48 out of 48. The amazing thing was he didnt even have to think about them. And as he would tell me which ones were which, he would tell me a story of the late 50's of how he worked on this one or that one and how well they would run. It was good for him to spend time doing this. As for me I dont think I even had 25% of them right. Thanks for posting it.

I only got 58% but I got a lot of the weird ones and yes anyone who got more than 70% is an old fart and if you got more than 90% your are really old old fart or your have been to way to many car shows.

How many had family members that owned some of these. Our family parked a Henry J, Hudson Hornet Studebaker 51 & 57 Chevy Belair or Buick Road Master (I owned both of them) The Nash Ambassador it is a wonder anyone ever purchased that. But my dad did. Of course a few more that were not in the quiz.

What a wonderful walk through old cars.

I got 73% (35 right out of 48). The average score is 73%

The Mercs threw me, and the Willi(plurals of Willys?) Some of them I have never seen anyway, so I had to guess. I'm an old fart, but I still don't remember all of them thangs. Congrats to those of you that do....it means yer memory is still good...so I guess it was yer LOOKS that went first! LOL
