    I received 84%, did not miss the OLDS, I own one.

        That's cool.
        I should have know what year the car was since I like the movie "A Christmas Story"

          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.

            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.

                  Easy. Got all the years right, but missed on the Mercury because I was too quick with my trigger finger so I got 98%. Much easier for me to do than cars of the 1970's.

                    89%, missed on the years. The original wheels and covers would have helped a lot. Been a long time since I saw some of these models.

                        91%. Like a few others, I missed the years on a couple. And that Mercury . . . .

                            I missed the year on two of them because I rushed my answer, but I got lucky on the make for one.

                                100% I've been in this hobby since 1956, so I had no trouble identifying these old roiling piles of misery.
