93% -not bad for guy who is 39. Of course, I have been 39 for 40 years now, which gives me some advantage. It is noticeable that some of these cars were a few years advanced in styling, and you can see the influence on other cars a few years later, just by studying these examples. A couple of them I never would have known the year except by the choices they gave.Trying to build a 48 Studebaker for the 21st century.

I went through this game with a friend, and he got all the makes right, but did not do so well on the years. I think if the questions were simply "What make and year?" , with no multiple choices given, I would have scored 20%, maybe less. I could not tell you the difference between 1930 vs 1932 Ford, 1935 vs 1936 Ford, same for Chevy, etc, and I would never have identified the Graham or the Hudson except by process of elimination.
Most makes went from the open fenders to the rounded full fenders in about 1935, and stayed with them until the late 40s. The 47 Kaiser was the first really modern body in the U.S., and like the Airflow, it just didn't sell very well. Failure of the Airflow has always been a mystery to me, coming at the beginning of the "art deco" period when furniture, appliances, trains and even trucks were being "streamlined", and some cars in Europe.Trying to build a 48 Studebaker for the 21st century.
