As an 83yr old, who grew up in a non car owning family outside of America, l could name all the makes correctly, but not the years of manufacture as that did not matter too much to me. First car owned in family in early 60s was 40s Plymouth.
Enlarging the picture and looking at the the emblem on the hood was very helpful....also, many cars had their model prominently displayed on the side of many cars
Pmckee02...You are good!.. I'm the same age of 80 and the best i could do is get 9 right. 2 by first appearance and 7 by multiple choice for a score of 13.
I was a kid in the '50s, but I did research American cars from that Era. I got 14 out of 20, and most of the ones I got wrong were European models. Didn't see too many of these back then.
47! Now let's be clear. I went for the BRAND NAME of the individual car first. Not the car-maker. e.g. I got zero points when I called the DeSoto a Chrysler. Same corporation, different model. Also, I knew some of the model years, but definitely not all. Same for the exact car model (e.g. Skylark, New Yorker). So maybe my number should be a lot lower. Fine. BUT I knew the names of almost all of them damnit! Good stuff.
Pretty sure Continental is a subsidiary of Lincoln. As a boy I had a model of 1941 Lincoln Continental, & saw Lincoln Continentals in the 60s- 90s. NEVER saw a Continental that wasn't a Lincoln.
1957 MOPARs had those quad LOOKING headlights but the inner ones were turn signal and not headlights. Edit addin: I just found a picture of ONE 57 New Yorker with singular headlight design. Its tail fin definitely makes it NOT a 1956. But all other 57s had the dual design. Maybe it changed mid-year?
Mercury and Chrysler had 4 head lights in 1957 on some models. Our neighbor owned a black Mercury Turnpike Cruser when I was a kid, I thought it was the coolest car ever. I can still remember how it always had a glossy shine all loaded with Chrome.
After two other similar quizzes, I turned off the sound and increased the speed to get it over with quicker. But the excessive "graphic" things between each car selection was still annoying.
That is not a 1954 Chevy 3100, that truck is pieced together, 54 grill but the 1954 Chevy 3100 was the first year of the solid windshield, that truck has a split windshield, not a 1954 3100
@@johnnybeer3770 nope 1954 was the first year of the solid windshield, you can take that to the Bank, and almost all automobiles are sent out for purchase the second half of the previous year, a lot of 1954 models would have come out after June 1953, that truck is not a 1954 3100, not at all.
In number 17, if car pictured is a true 1957. It would badged as a Metropolitan without the Nash prefix. However, some 1956 Metropolitans which had the Nash prefix were sold in 1957 and were registered as 1957 models.
Continental was its own division under Ford for 1956-1958, was not a ‘Lincoln’ at that time. For 1959, the Continental division was dissolved and Continental again became a Lincoln model like it had been in the ’40s.
Ahhh back in the days when cars had their own style!!
Got them all

20/20. Back when cars were special.
All but 3. Suggestion: Be able to enter your answer before the multiple choices and have it keep score. And then, list a leader board.

14/20. Could you do a "Classic American Pickups" Quiz?
Out of 20 I got 16 right., cars from the 1950's & 1960's American & foreign .
Number 3. 1954 chevy 3100??? Didn't have the full windshield in 1954. The one pictured looks more like a 1947-1953 with 1954 grill
That had me stumped It as well is a hybrid! The grill is a 54 but the windshield is wrong.
Agreed!!a
Yup.
17 kinda surprised myself
I hope you keep making these kind of videos My husband and I are 34 years watch these in the evening and have fun
40 points! Love the 50s and the diverse brands/models
I got all of the makes right, some of the models were in disarray. However, I am 80 years old and grew up in the 50’s

You left a lot of clues in many of these pictures 😁
I only missed 2, and these cars were built before I was even born!

I got 45 points im a little disapointed because im a ole school car guy.
Got them all except the Hudson.
Now i'm feeling really old i remember seeing most all of those cars ,and the rest? i could recognize from the style and some of the badging .
Got all of them, but I’m 75!!
It's a Continental Mark II, not a Lincoln.
Better fake a closer look at that hood ornament, that's the Lincoln emblem for sure.
@@sharonw2475 Not in 1956. It was the Continental hood ornament. The 1956 Lincoln hood ornament was a knight in armor.
Pretty sure Continental is a subsidiary of Lincoln. As a boy I had a model of 1941 Lincoln Continental, & saw Lincoln Continentals in the 60s- 90s. NEVER saw a Continental that wasn't a Lincoln.
Yup, Lincoln was the brand name, like Ford, and Continental the model name, like Thunderbird.
Youre sharp Albert. Can you pass my classic car quiz? Probably not ;)
Knew them all, erred on a few model years where similar models ran for a couple of years, so... 135/140
Rats! The MG got me! Did good on the rest!
I got the first 4 and then my ADHD kicked in - I might come back later and finish it. Would prefer it to move a hair faster, but I love the cars.
In 1957 dual or quad headlights weren't legal yet. the chrysler is a 58
No, it's a '57. 58 looks different.

What would you get if you cross a 49 Chrysler with a 73 Beetle....... I'm not sure but I would get out of the way. Probably take a picture also.

I got the year wrong in the 1956 Mersadies Bense, I called it a 1955!
I liked initially how the narrator pronounced Jaguar properly, then went to Jagwar.
It's a regional pronunciation.
19 right 1 wrong
20 for 20 easy
Continental was a ford product. And it was under the Lincoln badge. Go research it.
Continental was its own division under Ford for 1956-1958, was not a ‘Lincoln’ at that time. For 1959, the Continental division was dissolved and Continental again became a Lincoln model like it had been in the ’40s.
Is it "cheating" to enlarge the picture since I'm viewing this on my phone?
