Torq_Shep Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I literally only got the chevys right... Although GM cars are the only 40s through 70s cars I care about apart from AMC 70s cars. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
89 MJ Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 The issue with identifying lots of these cars when they are very similar in year and the same parent company, is that you pretty much need to ID them by their moldings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FrankTheDog Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 My score was 96%, 46 out of 48. I messed up on the 52 and 54 Mercury I think it was. Most of these cars were off the road by the time I started driving in 1980. I have always been interested in cars (and trucks and motorcycles) Especially before the safety bumper era.

Torq_Shep Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 I was talking to somebody about this today... I think it is a trend for people to be most interested in vehicles made right around their birth (+- 7 years or so). I have lots of interest in 1987-2001 vehicles but not a ton of interest in much before or after those dates. There are a few outliers but that is for any automotive enthusiast I think...

I don't know Mopar very well at all and if it's not a Mustang, I don't really know Ford all that well either. Especially when it's between two consecutive model years.

Dzimm Posted February 9, 2021 Share Posted February 9, 2021 Well I successfully educated guessed my way to 42%. I'd like to see one of these for each generation, would be cool to test which generation we are most familiar with. I don't think I'd ace any generation tho, there are so many cars in the mainstream outside the popular ones that we don't pay any attention to.

Manche757 Posted February 10, 2021 Author Share Posted February 10, 2021 There was another car in the early 50's that I did not know about until about 5 years ago. It is thought that only 198 were made. 1953 Muntz Jet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No motor, trans, interior 3 coats of paint holding the rust in. I did most of the work except for the finish body work and paint. The Excalibur is a factory original.

There are a few outliers but that is for any automotive enthusiast I think... if that is true (only a rule of thumb at best of course) it would make sense since those types of rides would be what's on the road and what's available for purchase to a kid when you first start to drive. lord knows my first cars/trucks weren't new.
