86% Never was good on Packards. Not enough of them around.
-
Only 71 Packards and desotos were not on my radar
-
79% Lots of lucky guesses. Thanks for posting. :BEER:

Dang , 82% , and I am not a car guy :D

Pfffft. They said the 58 Studebaker was a rambler on the test I took..

I kinda thought one of those was mislabeled.
I got 96% (mistook a Chrysler and a DeSoto).
Best,

Heck, I managed a 91%, now if I could only do that on stuff that mattered...... ::)

58%. I must be a young'n :BEER:
-

Hmmm. Are there different versions for different takers? The '58 Rambler and '58 Studebaker were correctly identified as such on the version I got.
-
93% got the 61 & 62 Caddy reversed and missed the Lincoln and the Packard.
-
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.
Hemis were cheep at one time.
Delaware & Ottawa Co. Okla.
O well....
-
96% had the Lincoln and Packard wrong.
-
93%. Shudda done so well in high school! Maybe I was too interested in cars(?)
-
88 % Gave my memory a hernia.
-
88%, I'll take it.
-
93% Mixed up a 4 cars. Better than I thought I would do.
-
64% Kinda before my time......
-
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.
-
77%
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.

That was fun. Line up a bunch of the new eggs and see if anyone can identify them in 60 years. Betcha not :BEER:

We need pictures!

Only got the Chevy's right. Way less than you guys.

Not the greatest pictures.

I need to start working on it, but I haven't finished with this one yet.

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.
-
46%, I feel dirty..
..cars suck anyway.
-
80%, a couple of good guess's.

Ha ! Most of my 82 % was done by looking at the bumpers :D

100%.
:bow
93% (52 right out of 56).
Screwed up in a couple of the Fords and Packards.
I should have done better on those as in a couple of the formers, you could take the second word out of my first sentence. ;)

:+1 I got 70% --purely luck, cars are good for getting you back and forth to work and that's about it. Otherwise they suck (unless you can afford a Ford GT or a Ferrari or etc. etc.)

You see even less of the 2-door wagons. Its got a 440 I'm planing to rebuild and put some sort of overdrive behind. I really want to make it something I can drive cross country in when I'm done. I'm going to a late 50's early 60's mild custom vibe with it.
The 65 has disk breaks and power steering we swapped in from a late 70's model. That is one thing nice about the twin I-beam trucks, parts swap up to the end of the 70's. After I added front and rear sway bars and KYB shocks it holds the road pretty well. It has a roller 302 now and aluminium heads. Its developed a knock that we can't find without tearing the engine down. I'm thinking of buying a 331 short block for it.
My brother-in-law picked up a 65 Ranchero that's will eventually to be my niece's first car. She's only two now, but we work slow. So, I'm thinking of giving the 302 to him for the Ranchero.

68% too young to recognize them Packard's and Desoto's ???
-
Man, the MoPar wagon brings back memories! We had a locker room green 57 Savoy and then a 59 Fury,white over Chinese Red. Cool old cars. The "Forward Look. Suddenly it's 1960!" Was the ad in 1957 whe the new body style hit the scene. Unfortunately they were rushed into production and suffered multitudes of quality problems.
-
96%. Should a looked at the 4 Caddys more carefully.

That was fun ;-T 100% . I probably have an unfair advantage, The Buick Olds and Pontiac plant in So.Cal was about six blocks away from my house as a kid. Got to see all the shiny new ones roll off the line. Open houses were great, seeing how they were assembled and then just driven off the line onto awaiting rail cars. By the way I still have my first car, "Forward Look" 1957 Dodge 2dr Coronet with the D500 Hemi. Good luck on your project 190Octane..if you need any info let me know.

I only got a 71. The GM stuff threw me, especially olds and Pontiac.
-
I'm old enough, but 36 % :o
Got the Fords and the independts all correct though, of course those are among my specialities ...... ;)
I should know enough about statistics to be able to say whether the score is better of worse than pure random, but what the heck.....
My father had a pre-war Terraplane that he sold to buy a pretty new Hillman Minx Californian in 1954 - think of that as a bit symptomatic. I believe American car exports to Europe more or less collapsed around 1950, so I didn't stand a chance to recognise most of the cars in the test. Didn't even know they made De Soto that long.
