View Full Version : Name these cars!!! I~LUV~Caddys8792 09-10-06, 12:10 PM How many cars can you name?
Classic Car Quiz (http://stevelyon.com/quiz.html)
I got 37/100 my first time. I think I could do better next time, but it's kinda hard because all the pics are so small and I wasn't alive when these cars were made lol! I was alive for most of them, a lot I was just a kid.. but i loved cars as a kid and still do.
I got 70, but missed a few models... and I'm sure my spelling cost me a few.. but lots of fun... thanks for the post derrty_deville 09-10-06, 01:35 PM Pretty fun to see how much I dont know. I got 53 without cheating. I got 79....the problem is I can tell the car is a Pontiac, or a Studebaker or what have you...but I just can't remember the model. DaveSmed 09-10-06, 03:33 PM 81.... Some are worded tricky, like instead of firebird, its trans am ShadowLvr400 09-10-06, 05:33 PM Any foreign?... One or two of those looked German or Italian gdwriter 09-10-06, 06:19 PM 96/100 — bwaaa haa haa haa!
Finally, my wealth of useless information is put to use. To make it even worse, I could also tell you the year on most of them, too.
Agreed, there are some tricky ones. The Cadillacs could have easily been Fleetwoods instead of DeVilles, for instance. And a Catalina could have been a Bonneville.
Who got numbers 9 and 35? Those are the ones I missed.

#8 is Coupe de Ville
#46 is DeVille
That's one of the flaws in the quiz is inconsistency. Also, you can't tell whether it's a Sedan or Coupe de Ville from the parts of the cars that are shown. And either one could have also been a Calais or a Fleetwood.
Still fun though. Thanks for posting the link Chad. Rep points for you!

Yep, no problem, but don't thank me, thank the guys over at www.twolaneracing.com! (http://www.cadillacforums.com/forums/www.twolaneracing.com)
A car/race enthusiast site made by some of the guys I work with Florian 09-10-06, 11:53 PM wheres the answers?

I got your answers (http://gdwriter.q45.org/Classic_Car_Quiz.pdf) right her, pal!
OK, except for #9, but I sent an e-mail asking what it is.

http://www.gdwriter.com/images/ethel.jpg DopeStar 156 09-11-06, 04:29 AM What's annoying is number 11. Oldsmobile called the car an "Eighty Eight" not an "88" ANNOYING!!!
WTF is 9? I only got 60 and I don't have time to chase it anymore.
That's frustrating. I thought I knew more than that!
I was surprised at how many I got on the first try without even thinking. Either I got lucky, or I knew the difference between the Firebird and the Trans Am.
I looked at all of the pictures before typing anything, the first one I jumped on was the Falcon.
It's weird how your mind works. #9 - Meteor Rideau
Appearantly Ford called their Mercury division Meteor in CANADA. I'm guessing that's a '57
I don't understand how this one, the two IMPORTS and the Korean-built Nova can be on a CLASSIC CAR list
#11 I beleive is a '59 Dynamic 88 or Super 88 - not just 88 Destroyer 09-13-06, 08:22 PM 91/100, damn I'm good! I~LUV~Caddys8792 09-13-06, 09:53 PM now if they had a quiz of 80's -90s cars...then I'd do much better... Benzilla 09-13-06, 10:12 PM If it was an all Cadillac quiz, I'd rule. The pictures had to have come from:
Car Show - a photoset on Flickr (http://www.flickr.com/photos/chicanerii/sets/72157594208515391/)
click on the picture you're having trouble with RobertCTS 09-15-06, 06:55 PM I'm good at this. Is there a prize for the best!!!:D :bouncy: codewize 09-19-06, 12:28 AM Ok I got 64. I tell you some of those are deceiving. I was swearing that 15 was a 68 cougar. Half my problem is spelling. I did get most of the GM stuff though.
Is it sick that we can do this? Benzilla 09-19-06, 12:32 AM '67 Charger | |
