I just know RJ and Solo1 and gonna nail this one  Saw it on the New England Board http://www.americantorque.com/game/car-show-50s/I got 58% which is pretty awful. If I had not owned a 57 Olds once it woulda been worse |

77%, but I was born in '59. I made a lot guess's by seeing succeeding years style changes. As far as a test, I could have answered the same twice and got one wrong instead of both wrong when in doubt.

100%....48 of 48 correct. What the heck, I grew up driving most of them and either my dad or I owned a good share of them as well. Back then you could identify a car by the front, side, or rear. And most could be ID'd simply by the profile. The cars were distinctive, different from each other. Today, you see one....you've seen 95% of the cars on the road.

What was the degree of difficulty?? Course growing up in that era helps. Had a 59 desoto 383 b block with that push button automagic tranny. She were a big butted boat. L O L. Most of those cars similar i either got to drive or ride in at one time or another. I think of some of those classics i helped destroy at demolition derbys-not only do i wanna cry-but today wanna hang my head in shame. Got a pefect score. That was a fine trip down memory lane. My ex father inlaw(rest in peace alec) called it right and he said this in the 80s-dang new cars look like the box the italian running shoes came in.  RIDE SAFE. |

96% I missed 2. Not bad for being born Dec. of '74 ! ? #11 was the most uncertain ,1952 willys etc... Went back to check...I missed the 55 Packard and 55 Desoto , I just guessed better on #11 than I thought  |

For the most part anyway. There's one youngster in the mix that got 100%, then Spirited-6 ruined our averages for the silver crowd.  |

Another old fart got 100%. Good memories.
Most of those cars were in my teenage years. Graduated high school in 1959.

I got around 35% right just by guessing... Guess it's a generational thing, but all those cars look alike to me... |

71%, not too bad for a 46y/o kid that never cared much for Chrysler products growing up.
And Chevy was the ENEMY in my dads house.

46 out of 48 - got the Coronet and the Savoy mixed up. Dumb lucky guesses and knowing what 3 of the 4 were mostly. Always like the '59 Fury with those big wings.

79% for us. Struggled to identify some of the more obscure stuff, although knew the Studes.
We trudge on.
