  6. The Caddys are the only tough ones, and if you recognize the '59, all you need to remember is the fins started shrinking after 1960...

    Aced it....

  8. I got 56 of 56! It was to easy, It's kind of sad that I can name almost every car made before 1972. But on any other subject, I'm as dumb as a box of rocks. ha. ha. I used to visit a junk yard where the owner got a kick out of testing me. He had boxes of tail light lens, etc. And he would ask what car they were from. He had them labeled, and then he ask year and make of the car they went to. It was Fun like this test was. So if I'm ever on Jeopardy. I hope the category is old autos for $100. The answer will be { what's a 57 Desoto} Alex. ha. ha. Ron...

    I got 'em all. Chrysler products are a little tougher for me, as there weren't many around when I was growing up...all Fords and GM. I amazed my friends in HS (64-68) when I could identify cars in my rear view mirror at night by the way the front body work showed up with their headlights.
     
  13. I got 54 out of 56 I mixed up the '55 and '56 Ford. The two that I absolutely should not have mixed up. :oops:
