Then again, when I was watching Predator I didn't think two members of its cast would become governors, either. So you never know.

I kinda thought one of those was mislabeled.

I got 96% (mistook a Chrysler and a DeSoto).

Hmmm. Are there different versions for different takers? The '58 Rambler and '58 Studebaker were correctly identified as such on the version I got.

 80%...hell, I thought I was good...but apparently,  I was not.

But of course I nailed all the Chevys and Fords, I probably owned one of each at one time, drove 'em like I stole them.

 Red  '68 RS/SS Camaro also, which I sold for $650 and glad to get rid of it.  Paid $1500 and put 90K on it.
Sold A 56 Merc coup for $50.00 at 100K.  I was the second owner, paid $150 for it.

86% totally blew the Caddy tail fin years and blew the 59/60 fords. I was a GM guy growing up as my dad had a 1956 Super 88 Olds and a 51 and 53 Chevy.

Not bad for someone still in his 30's.  I am a little disappointed in myself, considering I own a 58 Plymouth, but at least I got all the Mopars correct.

Hell, I had a 57 hawk. It was my first car. I wasn't about to miss that identification of a 58 Studebaker, but they called a Rambler. Dorcia and I looked at each other and said WTF?? Of course, she wouldn't say that.. but that was the end of the test for me. (us) She's the car guy in the family.

Kewl. '58 Plymouths aren't exactly common, but you never see the wagon versions. Neat project! I like the '65 as well. I owned a '64 F100 several years ago. Great truck, pretty much indestructible, but with a 240-inch six and three-on-the-tree, was definitely not a hot rod. Actually handled OK for a truck, but the '65 and newer trucks like yours, with the twin I-beam front suspension, have a much better ride.
