I got an 81%. I couldn't keep the Dodge/Plymouth/Chrysler and Desoto's straight. The hood ornaments threw me too. I am 35. I can credit plastic model kits that I wish I had kept for me recognizing a few.

81% for me too. Chysler products were confusing for me. Didn't miss GM or Ford though.

100% despite my youthful 40 years... got lucky on the hood ornaments

I guess all that studying of the "cars of the fabulous 50's" book by my recliner has not been wasted time after all!

First of all, I really SUCK at this!

I got 48% correct. I even got the ****** "Aero," the third worst car ever built in the USA. Only the Crosley and the Metropolitan were worse.

Now, I'm 80 and have been a car guy all my life, and I think we've got a bunch of liars in this thread.

Something smells rotten in Denmark.

I should of said I also got 100% on the second try.
I owned or worked on most of those cars and I didn't do too good either.

You probably bought a few of them brand new Don.

Yeah, the Chrysler,DeSoto,Dodge, Plymoth in 55-56 are tough. And as for Packard, nobody knew what they were even back then. That's why they are not around anymore.

The Packard was one of the finest motor cars ever built! They were built like a tank. I don't think they would have scored too good today on fuel mileage!

Bad management done them in. The cars are VERY collectable. One went for big bucks last week at Palm Beach Barrett Jackson. It was a 1936 Model 120B Convertible and sold for $99,000.

...............
................This is the car!

I learned to drive in a 1938 Packard Super-Eight sedan. If you were ever lucky enough to find one of these fine cars, Kanter Brothers have almost every part you'll ever need to restore her.

Packard Motor Company built some of the best cars ever made!

I missed two of the hood ornaments so I got 46 our of 48 for 96%. Then I am 64 and could tell you what any car on the road was when I was 10 year old. Imagine trying to do that today.

I scored 77% which is decent enough considering I don't have much experience with the older Chrysler's, Plymouth's or DeSoto's.

I am very impressed. You have really studied your old cars. Us old timers remember them when they were new. It is good to see somebody your age into classic cars and not one of those rice burners with a tailpipe the size of a 3 pound coffee can.
