Bob Hill Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 (edited) Obviously I am a car nerd - although I admit the Henry J and Willys identification almost got me - I guessed at it. I think judging at a ton of local car shows helped me since all those cars were built before I was born.You got 100% (48 right out of 48).

Seldenguy Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Got a 94%. Like Steve heald I messed up on the Willys and Henry J, also the hood ornaments and one of the Mercurys.

Steve Moskowitz Posted April 25, 2011 Author Share Posted April 25, 2011 I beat West! Got 3 wrong but I am much older than he is so I should have done better. Now to find out how bad he did! Quite a few people I know got 100%. Actually I surprised myself on the Mercs. Not baad for an Olds guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest my3buicks Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 100 % - Got a little nervous on the page I had on identifying the years of the Mercury's pictured, and the page of hood ornaments made me a little nervous also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ben Bruce aka First Born Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 Like a couple of othere, the Henry J /Willys caused me a moments hesitation. But prevailed. 100. Pretty neat. Ben Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bruffsup Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 92% and I like others had trouble with the chrysler dodge plymouth deal . Oddly enough I owned a similar Dodge but it was a transportation only beater and I always thought the styling of all of those a tad lacking . that's my excuse anyway, the rest was pretty easy especially since elimination helped if a little unsure in a couple of instances. fun deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sambarn Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 96 , born in 69 and totally not into the new fangled cars of the 50s. Hood ornaments, no problem, willys and Henry J, no problem. Cars of 56, not so much. I'm with Heald, Lets see some brass, nickel and prewar!! Or at least cars from my lifetime (So I can find out if I remember them or not!!). And if not Japanese, How about some european like which is a Volvo 544 and which is a mercedes 450 SL or which is the VW and which is the Daimler:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shop Rat Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 The one thing I found funny was the For Sale sign on the one car. My first thought was, "I hope the Team Captain tells them to take that out before the team gets there to judge". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Hill Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 I just had my 16 year old daughter take the test - these are her results:You got 92% (44 right out of 48). The average score is 73%I have been taking her to car shows since she was 6 weeks old and she serves as my scorekeeper when I judge at local shows - obviously she learned some stuff Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RPrice Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I got 'em all, 100%. But then, I grew up when all those cars were new and I was a car crazy kid.Rog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auburnseeker Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I got 100 not bad for a guy born in 74. I think the first thing I read as a kid was a collector car magazine and Cars and parts after that. It would have been harder if they just showed you a piece of trim off each car. That would have been tougher. I love early cars but make one for pre 1930 cars and I would be in trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dave Mellor NJ Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I aced it, 48 for 48. After trying to ID some of the cars on "What is it?" the 50's are like childsplay to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junkyardjeff Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 I caught it on the HAMB the other day and got them all right,the two 52 to 54 mercs almost got me as I cant tell them apart without looking at the tail lights. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Rohn Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 Had to think long and hard on the Merc's, the rest were fairly easy given they were multiple choice like that.You got 100% (48 right out of 48). The average score is 73% Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rawja Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 100% too easy!Next game.......1990 to 2011 cars.........I'll fail.I was helped tremendously by it being a process of elimination, if there were 6 choices for the 4 cars I would have been much worse off.Did pretty perfectly illustrate how cars of an era all kinda look alike to the non-obsessed. I could probably do '80-00 with shocking specificity even with no multiple choices. We each have "our" eras. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JD in KC Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 100% but I'm old enough to remember them all. I probably would have messed up the Willys/Henry J but my buddy in high school had that exact model of Willys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
