A 1950s car identification test

[Zero]

This was fun but it was harder than I thought.

See how you do.
1950s Automobile Test

 

[HFWR]

36/48 (75%), with some goofs, and a lot of [-]guesswork[/-] deduction...

 

[calmloki]

58%? not very observant me.

 

[unclemick]

77%. At age 67 thought I would do better.

heh heh heh - oh well.

 

[travelover]

I did fairly well on the makes, but not so well on the years.

Having worked as an auto engineer, I can't imagine making such radical changes (at least in body and interior) on a yearly basis. And all with no CAD.

 

[theloneranger]

75% for me.
Had some trouble with the early 50"s models and the hood ornaments.

 

[kumquat]

46/48

Since I was born in 49, someone I knew owned every one of those cars (with the possible exception of Packard). One of my friends still has a Henry J.

"You got 81% (39 right out of 48). The average score is 73%"...

What did you expect from an old phart (born in '48)...

 

[rmark]

77%, noting that most of them predate my birth.

 

[73ss454]

40/48 born in 49 also but having senior moments. (heh)

 

[Htown Harry]

38 right. Born in 1959, but I've been reading car magazines and fantasizing about buying an old car for years.

If I could pick any of the cars in the quiz, it would be the '51 Roadmaster convertible, hands down.

 

[Free To Canoe]

75%
I did good on the hood ornaments.

 

[Zero]

I feel really bad because I missed all four in the first question. All four! How can I explain that because I have always loved the Chevy line during the mid 50s, one of my fave.

I have not explanation except bad memory.

 

[Nodak]

That was a fun test, scored 100% born in 47.

 

[Rustic23]

85, Some of the cars I have never heard of. Henry J?

 

[redduck]

79%. loved those old cars. all of them are classics...and classy.

 

[Texas Proud]

33%... and almost all were guesses...

 

[jazz4cash]

44/48 Those were mostly before my time.

 

[veremchuka]

I was surprised at how many I knew and how well I scored! 81% 39 out of 48.

 

[eytonxav]

Only a 67% for me, oh well!

 

[Geoffrey]

60% . . . guess I flunked.

 

[Andre1969]

I managed 45/48, or 94.5%. I know I got the '52 and '54 Mercury mixed up, but can't remember what the other goof was.

 

[GregLee]

"You got 38% (18 right out of 48). The average score is 73%"

Perhaps the lowest score of all?

 

[Gonzo]

100%... born in 1947... was a car guy!

 

[Walt34]

63%. The '56 Plymouth Savoy was easy since I owned one, and our family did have a Hudson Hornet.
