I had no problems with differentiating between GM\Ford\Chrysler products but some of the smaller makers I had not seen in many years. Then there was the one with the four different Mopars of the same year was very rough also.
I was born in 56 and can remember a lot of these still on the road in the '60s.

 

[JayEddie]

71%. I definitely would have done better with cars from the '60s

 

[indytechnerd]

52%, born in '72. Boy, those were fine automobiles. Talk about style.

That's what I though too, but I took the GM-Only test and did miserably.
The progression of the tailfin and chrome made educated guesses at a lot of the '50s era years possible.
Styling in the 60s was all over the place, and more than once, where the option was four of the same model from sequential years, I ended up getting everything rotated by 1 year... put the '61 as the '64, '62 as '61, etc... or a couple where I got the '62/'63 correct but rolled the '61/'64 pair.

Also IDing between some of the Buick and Olds models was tough.

 

[Captain Pre-Capsize]

I scored a 75%, fun past time.

 

[jumper]

Old car guy here, 100%.

 

[Crixus]

Below average. That's all I have to say about that.

 

[njpaddy]

79%. I was doing pretty good until I hit those Chrysler, Dodge & DeSoto questions. I dug out one of my old books for some brushing up later today.

 

[Duckster]

67%. Not too shabby since I guessed on most of them. Beautiful cars.

 

[Lesmore]

You beat me to it

 

[JoshuaNY]

I stink at this. The only one I got right was one of the first questions. I was able to identify a 1950 oldmosbile. And that is only cuz the oldsmobile reminded me of the dads car in Christmas Story

 

[dpmtherrien]

I got 73%, not as good as I thought I was.

 

[red zeppelin]

73%. I started off strong, but I lost it in some of the smaller brands.
