Thought some of you car enthusiasts might like this.  I scored 81%.     Can ya beat me?  Copy and paste your score so I know yer not cheatin'...  :biggrin:  You got 81% (39 right out of 48). The average score is 73%.



All right you young & older whipper-snappers,

No Cheating. See how you do.

The average score is 73%

I failed miserably. Even though I think I am probably a tad bit older than most of you, where I grew up there weren't many cars, mostly pickup trucks. And what cars there were, were mostly old wrecks.

  I thought I would do better since these were the cars of my teenage years.  But the Chrysler products threw me.  But I did end up with 81%.

  But I guess living in the Anderson area, I didn't miss any GM products and since my dad was a Ford man I didn't miss any Ford products.

Hudson, Nash and Henry J were tricky. I could identify the brand of those most of the time but had the models confused and a couple of the Chryslers got me as well.

Best regards,
Duke ( if there were 60's and 70's models I would have done better) Jupiter

Used to have a Hudson and, in fact, it was the car my ex taught me to speed shift in,  Loved that car.  :yes:

I failed miserably, but I did get all the hood ornaments correct! I got the Chevys right, probably because my dad and my husband probably owned most of them at one time or another.

You got 96% (46 right out of 48)

Got the damn Chrysler and Desoto in the 56 selection mixed up. :rant:

The Henry J may have been an Allstate, a HJ re-badged and sold by Sears, but either way, it was made by Henry J.

Those dadburn Henry J's made some great hot rods at the dragstrip didn't they?
Great job. You sure know your cars.
