I'm 79 and you know how senior citizens like to reminisce about the past! I would love to see a quiz of 1950s cars. When I was a child living near a highway that was busy at work quitting time, my brother and I would sit on the front porch and name cars and get excited about the occasional fancy or rare one. I think I'd do well on that quiz (in spite of being a girl!)
Hey! Thanks for taking all the time and trouble to do this. What a great idea. Beautiful cars and so much fun seeing how they differ and how they were the same
The one car that is very rare is the Lotus Elite. That's the one that I nailed because I actually worked at a Lotus dealership. I drove the thing and it was a lot of fun.
7:42 there can be a certain amount of ambiguity in identifying the Studebaker Avanti by model year because of running changes, but this one appears to be an early '64 model, identified by the grille below the bumper. The first fifty '64 models got the circular headlight nacelles to use up the front panels on hand before changing to the rectangular bezels for the rest of the production run. Further muddying the identification, some owners retrofit the grille and modified the headlight nacelles. Avanti model years are most accurately identified by serial number and production date. An Avanti with a three-speed manual transmission is certainly an early production '63. Studebaker added R3 and R4 engine options for 1964 (produced between mid-august and late December, 1963.. Numbers from RQ1001 to RQ4834 are '63 models. RQ4835 to RQ5643 are '64s.
