Kris & Tina JonesI believe I just had my butt handed to me. 42% reminds me of my high school test scores.

Was fun anyway and informative.

DoormanI know if the had this same test based on 2000 era cars I be lucky to get any right. With newer cars getting the decade right would be a hard. Model and make imposible.

bill hI believe I did so well because I did a lot of daydreaming in high school in the late'50s.
Girls and cars, of course.

And....................cars were very individual then. It seems that the older I get, the more the modern cars all look alike

TonkaHi Everyone,
I found it really helpful to have ridden in most of them.
Here's a quiz addendum. Which of the cars listed used a large round push button for the interior door handles?
Thank heavens for long term memory. Now if I could just remember what I did with my glasses when I got home from work.

TonkaHi Everyone,
My Gramps had a late 40's early 50's Kaiser with interior door handles with large Bakelite buttons.
There easily could have been some other brands with something similar.
Pretty sure RainCatcher is right on the Edsel.
This was fun and brought back a flood of automotive memories.

Thanks,
Wally
