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 · 09-23-2011, 12:47 AM

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

meh
I am below average

Abba-Dabba · 09-23-2011, 06:33 AM

79% 38 for 48

not bad for a 1975 non-gear head puke

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.

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).

ToxSocks · 09-23-2011, 11:56 AM

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

**Old Dog** · 09-23-2011, 11:58 AM
