[gblowfish]

I got 88%. See how you do:

[mlyonsd]

I'm not going to say what I scored but those are some awesome cars.

[shakesthecat]

73%

[Sofa King]

lol. I started out well. but faltered.

Ended up with 54%.

[seclark]

42%
i'd have flamed out big time if it wasn't for the hood ornament question.

sec

[Dayze]

i got the Chevys all right. lol
zero on the 2nd set.

[Sofa King]

First 2 sets i got perfect. then i got alot of 0's. oops.

[mlyonsd]

I would love to have any one of those cars.

[Steron]

You got 54% (26 right out of 48). The average score is 73%

[Radar Chief]

66% on the ‘50’s cars. 73% on engine ID, though I flubbed a couple I shouldn’t have missed. I knew they were Hemi’s just didn’t get the generation right.

[Groves]

75%

O-fer on a few questions, and a lot of lucky 4 out of 4's.

[OmahaChief]

25% I obviously do not know much about old cars.

[Bob Dole]

No fair putting an Edsel in without showing the front.

[stevieray]

79 percent.

[Rain Man]

54%. I think that's better than random.

[Bugeater]

79% for me as well, and twice I switched answers when I would've been correct had I went with my first instinct. I hate it when that happens. Nevertheless it's better than I expected going in since I'm not really into 50s cars all that much.

[Psyko Tek]

You got 71% (34 right out of 48). The average score is 73%

meh
I am below average

[Abba-Dabba]

79% 38 for 48

not bad for a 1975 non-gear head puke

[TimeForWasp]

71%

[Hydrae]

You got 83% (40 right out of 48). The average score is 73%

I am surprised. Now do that with 60's-70's muscle cars and I would probably get somewhere in the upper 90's.

I amaze myself with that sometimes. I walked in to the front room yesterday and the Barrett-Jackson auction from Vegas was on. All I saw the the side of a dark green car from about the front of the passenger car and immediately knew it was a 65 or 66 Chevelle. I honestly don't know how I can tell but it works very often. I don't always know the subtle differences to distinguish a specific year but can usually get within one of two years with just a glance.

[HemiEd]

You got 100% (48 right out of 48). The average score is 73%

but to be fair the first and second time I saw this, I switched the 52 and 54 Mercury's up. They just seem to be backwards to me. But this time, I had to study a while on the Willys and Henry J, they were both out of production when I was growing up.

In the 50s, we didn't have video games to play while traveling with the folks. So, observing and learning all the cars on the road was something I was doing at 5.

That same site has two similar games for 60-70’s muscle cars. Just dig around the link a little bit, you’ll find them, that’s how I found the Engine ID one. I’ll warn you though, they’re a lot tougher than this one. You’re not just separating a Chrysler from a Dodge, you’ve got to be able to sort out the different years for a specific model.

Stop by that other board, I’ve got pictures from Greaserama up and you can probably help me identify some of them.

Definitely tougher. I especially had trouble with the non-GM one although I didn't track my overall score. Too many early 60's on both for me to get them completely correct.

I did learn one thing, I owned a '68 LeMans and can tell the difference between 68-71 GTOs easily but it is mostly through parking and tail lights. I did not know that the 68 was the last year they had a wing window. Mine got broken and I rode a bus across town carrying the replacement. Sure got some funny looks that day (more than usual at least :) ).

[Inspector]

Ah, cars of my youth. Very nostalgic.

You got 88% (42 right out of 48).

[ModSocks]

I'd fair a lot better if it were about the 60's. 50's i have no clue.

[Old Dog]

only 58%

I was kind of hoping some of the CP guys would be there so we could shoot the shit and toss back a couple cold ones.
We’ll be back next year though, that was too much fun not to do again.

[Radar Chief]

This was the scene when we first arrived and unloaded Mrs. Radar’s ’57.

I came back with over 100 photos so I could keep doing this as long as someone is interested.

[Hydrae]

Loving it, I have no problem with you continuing. :thumb:

I really loved the rod with the taped up header. ROFL

[Radar Chief]

Kewl, I’ve got hosting site links for several already so I’ll go ahead and post them.
Like I said, Rat Rods everywhere.

[Extra Point]

62%, and who gives a shit about the 50's? 66-67 were the only years that count.

[Radar Chief]

Heh, cool. This guy was at Greaserama.
I've got a couple pictures of his rig somewhere, I'll see if I can dig them up later.
