81%. I wasn't much of a Chrysler fan back then or a Kaiser fan either. Got all the Ford and GM right.

I got 88 percent, had some head-slaps over some I changed and later regretted.

88% and kicking myself. When I saw the thread title I figured there was no way I'd know anything about them. I haven't been able to identify any cars since about 1962. But prior to that knowing every make, model, style and option from about 1930 to whatever year we were in was just expected. Looks like I've slipped a notch or two since then. - Dub |

85%--we didn't see many Kaisers or Packards in our neck of the woods, so I blew that '52 obscure-makes question completely. The rest didn't strike me as all that tricky, perhaps because when I was younger I noted the style changes of all the major makes every year. I was especially interested in chrome side-stripe patterns, though in the later '50s I thought fin-shapes were pretty significant.

48. What can I say? I wasn't around for any of that.
I was, however, surprised at the amount of car shows in eastern Washington state this month. May have to scoot down and check one out.

90, and I'm a few years younger than you aces. I figured I'd bomb it.

88% (42 right out of 48). It was the Chrysler products that I missed.
I was born after most of those cars were built.

Didn't even try. I would get it right about 25% of the time (the same as random chance).
But I've been watching a lot of Top Gear lately so if they were pictures of the Lamborghini Gallardo or the Koenigsegg (The most beautiful car in the world) then I would know it.

That Ferrari Enzo last night looked pretty good. |

I'm certainly no car buff but my hubby will be sure to get most of them right. If he saw a crime committed he might not be able to describe the perpetrators very well but would be able to describe the getaway car right down to noticing whether it had been repainted or whether there was a dent in one of the bumpers (in daylight of course). To me all old cars look great - I don't care much about the make/model - I "ooooh" and "aahhhhh" over them just the same!  |
