KevinJ Posted February 7, 2021 Share Posted February 7, 2021 George Spring asked that I share this with you all...George being the brilliant man he is got 44 of 48 correct. I tried it and it totally screwed up and told me most of my answers were wrong. READ THIS BEFORE YOU START: 1. There are 12 sets with 4 cars each so 48 cars for you to look at and identify. 2. Each set of 4 has pictures of a 1950?s car and choices. You have to match the car with the correct name. 3) After you fill in the 4 dots ? it says NEXT and then shows what the answers should have been. At the end you get a % score. http://www.americantorque.com/game/car-show-50s/ Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment

DavidM Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 71% here = average. I am not really a fan of 50?s American cars so process of elimination and a bit of luck helped. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment
Keith Adams Posted February 8, 2021 Share Posted February 8, 2021 67% for me. Which still surprised me (in a good way). My American car knowledge really kicks in at the advent of the muscle car era. So the mid-50's is a bit of a void in my knowledge. Quote Link to comment
