1950's Motorheads: A Game For You
 

I got 88%. See how you do:

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

73%

lol. I started out well. but faltered.

Ended up with 54%.

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

sec

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

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

I would love to have any one of those cars.

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

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.

75%

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

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

No fair putting an Edsel in without showing the front.

79 percent.

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

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.

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

meh
I am below average

79% 38 for 48

not bad for a 1975 non-gear head puke

71%

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.

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.

nlm

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 :) ).

Heh, those Mercs tripped me up as well for the same reason. Now I don't feel so bad knowing they got you too.

Ah, cars of my youth. Very nostalgic.

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

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

only 58%

you were at greaserama?

Sure, had a topic here about it.
Did you go?

:cuss::cuss:bought entry for mine and the wifes car, then didn't make it...

damn, wouldv'e loved to meet you and hang out... i'd like to see the pics

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.

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.

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

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

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

This one was apparently driven by the lead singer from ZZ Top and has a bag pipe stuffed under the hood.

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

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.
