Cars of the '50s

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. (1973 and newer)

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...

That one is MUCH more difficult.

It was about the same.  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.

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.

95% 42 out of 44. I got the 66 and 67 chevelles wrong.

Anything 67-68 is easy. 68’s have side markers, 67’s don’t.

Chrysler 68s have round marker lights, dunno about the others

You have yourself a couple of fine looking carriages.

+Thank you Sir.

The 57 was well used when I got it.. 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.

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.  :laugh:
