You got 79% (38 right out of 48). The average score is 73%

I got all the Ford's and Chevies save the Henry J... don't know how I missed that one up. Sometimes the front ends gave them away, like hte Studebakers. Sometimes the grill could give away a Buick or a Pontiac. There were some tough ones in there... and a couple I never heard of! Good quiz!

I got a 69%. Not too bad considering I wasn't alive in the 50s!

Pretty good showing since I had two or three 1 of 4s ! Did notice a few pictures of cars like my parents had owned and I remembered seeings their pics, that helped and being a lucky guesser also helped! :-P

Cool find Justin!

Thanks again `Justin, for finding & sharing...
Thanks KidSpace. I also used process of elimination on a couple, and there were others that I had to blow the cobwebs off the old memory banks to answer. It's funny you would mention 'beachbums'. I grew up in the 60s/70s and lived a couple of blocks from the beach. The Beach Boys, Jan & Dean, The Ventures, etc was the music playing from the dashboard, and a lot of those cars were from the 40s and 50s. Skimming the soup during the day and sitting around the bonfire in the evening...ahh, memories. I became interested in cars at a young age and the cars that my friends and I drove in Jr High & High School were all from the 50s & 60s.

Do they have one of these quizzes for 70s cars? I think I'd do a lot better on that one.
