When car design was art! Being 81, I rode in and saw these neat autos daily!
I’m also 81, so, do we call this cheating😄
@@billdouglas2936 I'm 81 too
I'm 68 and worked on most of them that were American . My dad had a shop that later became mine . He was the best mechanic I ever knew . :)
I am also 81…I agree.
@@johnjay5143 IF YOU DO NOT THINK YOUR THE BEST YOU NEVER WILL BE AT AGE 75 I STILL PLAY WITH OLD CARS WORKING ON A 66 FORD FALCON AT THE MOMENT
I'm 82 and have been a car buff since my teens. I enjoyed this car quiz and got 19 right out of 20!
Me too ❗️😊
I missed 3. Those were in my neighborhood parking spots growing up in the 50's. Then from 69-72 I pumped gas and checked oil in all of them except the BMW's and that green turd at the end on the PA turnpike.
There is a classic car show in Carlisle PA every year and many cars took the turnpike. I saw so many classics and learned where the gas caps, hood release, and dip sticks were.
19 out of 20 -- I'm 79 and grew up in the era of these cars. At one time I could tell you the make and model of nearly every American made car. The first vehicle I owned was a 1935 Chevrolet pickup which got 25 mpg (of oil.) My favorite car in high school was a 1938 Studebaker with suicide doors. Miss that old car.
i am79 i got atll american cars an 2 foreign ones
I am a little old lady of 87. I missed 4. That was fun!😊😊
I got 18 of 20, i am 64 years old and live in Sweden, have always loved these old cars from the golden era since i was a little boy.
17 correct. Missed the foreign cars which we never saw on the road. It was nice to see those beauties.
Yep. Me also, didn’t see many imported cars in Southern Oregon. 🤛👍🙏🙏🙏🦅😎🇺🇸
19 of 20 , At 75 , when I was a kid i could name all the cars , We even owned a few of these . Every year they would change the design ,so each one was distinctive , Very exciting to me .
👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I’m 74, I got 13, guess I wasn’t paying attention 😂😂😂😂
You wouldn’t die in these cars even at today’s speeds cause they were made of steel, not pressured tin and plastic …😎
Born in 1945 I have been in so many of these models and I didn't miss any. My suggestion would be to make it more interactive, but it's fun either way. My son was astounded with how I knew all of the cars. I Loved it as it brought back some great memories. Thank you.
18 outa 20. Those beautiful cars really make me feel as antique as they are. My paint is peeling but otherwise ...
This 71 year old woman made 20 of 20. Good thing I would never stoop to bragging.😅
Impressive Regardless Madame
@@catherine8609 love your sense of humor! All of these comments are so fun to read! 🤣
A lady after my own heart. I’m a 73 year old man❤
As others have noted, the '59 4-door Cadillac is a Series 62 model, not an Eldorado.
...and a lot of people are bragging they got them all right. LOL If they didn't notice it was a series 62 then they didn't get them right.
Yup, I thought that they had never made a 4 door eldo. So...18 is my score. I said wow, never knew they made a 4 door eldo. Guess they did not.
@@Mantreaus ....I thought it was a DeVille, my Dad had one, he loved that car. I got 16 right and I was born in '51....
@@lorenzolarue337 My favorite Car, and I had two of them, were the 68 and 69 Toronado, Both the Eldo and Toro were front wheel drive. People would be very surprised when I would burn off the Front tires with the 455 Olds. 68 was my fave. 2nd favorite was the 69 Jeepster Commando. That thing never let me down from Alaska to Mexico and everything in between.
I did have a Eldo 73 model, it was nice, but it wasn't as strong as the Olds. And the styling was for Vegas it seemed and the Toro was for Design of a large Muscle Car.
The 68 was stolen never recovered why I bought the 69. Jeep I sold in Arizona after 26 years of owning it for more than I bought it for.
I am 79years old and this was a piece of cake! 20 out of 20
Same here. I'm 81
the Kaiser stumped me! I got 19
Good for you, but don't lord ít over us youngsters. I'm 78 and only got 19.
I got them all too. I'm 82. However, a couple of these cars were very slightly customized. For instance, the first old Chevy pickup would have had the word Chevrolet in the chrome over the grill instead of just that blank chrome strip.
I'M 80 AND GOT 19/20 OOORAH, NOW WHERE DID I PUT MY KEYS? LOL
Born in 1948, cars were the deal. I've owned many of these automobiles.Thanks for the channel, love seeing the old iron. New cars all look pretty much the same to me. generic pulp. Alas, the hand of man doesn't set foot in the design studio anymore. Rolling art is a thing of the past except for a few builders.Thanks again.
l
100% cause I'm old enough to see these when they were new.
Same here! My first car was a 1953 Chevy convertible, drove it with the top down even with snow on the ground!🎉
If you got 100% of what he said, you were wrong. The 1959 Cadillac is not an El Dorado as he says.
I am 79 and I got 15 out of 20. A great trip down memory lane. And yes, Owned a few of those. Thanks for this!
Only missed one. I’m 78 and my dad was a car buff…..we actually had a Morris Minor convertible. Also had a Hillman Husky among other gems from that wonderful era. He also drove Cadillacs most of his life…..works of art back then as were most cars of that time….
my dad, born in 1907, had a Sunbeam Sprite, a Triumph sports car, a Jaguar, and and several BMW's later on. I can recognize vintage electric guitars a lot better than old cars.
73 years old and I nailed every one.
The only one I knew immediately, was the Citroen, as I was a little boy in France in the late 1950's. All the others were semi-educated guesses, which gave me 11 correct.
I am 72 and as a kid I use to make a hobby of knowing every car and year until 1970's I got a 100%. In todays world it is harder since they are not as unique as they were in the 50's and 60's. I miss that uniqueness of driving down the street not being able to tell the difference of most cars because they almost identical in body style.
19 right. It paid to be old on this one.
I'm 80 and I got 19 out of 20 right. I used to visit all the showrooms in town during the weeks that the new models were released. I would collect the brochures and study them at home. Great fun.
I am 90 years old today! I got all 20 correct. REC
🎉😂❤❤👏👏👏👏🎉🎉
I'm 80yr old American and I missed 3 I had never seen before
19 out of 20.
Stick with American classics. 😎
Got them all, guessed a couple correctly. My father was a car guy when I was a youngster, 75 now, and he taught me all the cars on the road in the 1950's. On one trip with mom and dad and dad's mother I was pointing out the names of the different cars. I was 5 I think. Ma, grandmother, said "That's not fair, he knows how to read."
78 years young and missed BMW and Hudson. That was an enjoyable test.
I learned about the Hudson Hawk from the "Cars" Animanted great Movies..I've learned alot of things from TV and Movies. Way more Educational than our Parents ever thought, way back When. I Also do alot of those Triva questions. Lots of times I do better than I Thought! Wow, my old brain still Works😂😂👏👏🤔❤😍😍❤
Missed two of them, but it was fun to see these classics on display!!
77 years young and I got them all. Great memories. Thank you.
I've got a great suggestion!! free car for all who got them 💯% right!!! Christmas is coming!! 😁😎👍
I got 17 of 20. I'm 67 and live in Brazil. My father owned some american cars while I was a child. Good quiz.
Really enjoyed this. At 79 I amazed myself of what I knew.
Only missed completely on one.
I got two wrong. Darn! Great selection of great cars.
iam 69 yrs old and I got18 right!! now these are the real deal when it come to cars!!! man they could bring these beauties back!!! wow//
19/20. Got me on the Hudson. Had a little trouble with the pickups but got them right. I didn’t pay any any attention to pickups in my youth. But just enough in later life to get them correct.
76 y/o and still following and looking at cars.
I only missed1. My Dad and late Husband few past boyfriends, were car guys. Plus Reno's Hot August Nights Vintage Cars for 33 years in August kept these Vintage Cars alive, Past an Present 1970s and Back There were so many Beautiful Cars. Not familar with Foerign Cars. But The American Made Cars and Old PU Trucks, sometimes you can tell by the Front Grills on Trucks and Cars. I loved the Car Fins too. Now these Beautiful Vintage Car are so very .wonderful to see again.!,So Beautiful too such memories ❤️ 😍 too.❤🛻🚗🚘❤
This was Awsome. I only missed one. Little White Sports Car. Q#3, I think. I grew up looking at all the Beautiful antique Cars, back in the 1950, 1960s. They all were very Unique Looking back then. 10 to 20 years later, they all to much look alike, To me. I loved this it was great! ❤❤I love vintage 🚗 🚘 Cars. ZOOM! ZOOM!
I’m 69 and a car enthusiast since a kid. Love styling of these cars and taking note of yearly changes. Today they all look alike with minimal changes year after year. We have a 2007 Ford Edge and with exception of small changes it’s the same car today! I got 19 out of 20. Missed the Euro BMW.
14/20, not bad I guess, considering I wasn't even born until 1970.
Maybe the reason Cristeen was so pissed off was she was painted the wrong Color!
LOL 😊❗️🇺🇸
I’m 77yo- I loved this!!! What beautiful automobiles! Thanks!
20/20. Ah, the memories! TYVM!❤😊
The "1957 Chrysler 300" is, in fact, a 1958 Chrysler Windsor. No red white and blue medallion, and dual headlights which were not authorized until 1958.
GFM
Sorry, but I have to correct you on that. The 1957 300 C did in fact have the dual headlights, so did the 1958 300 D .......both the 1957 and 1958 300s had the dual headlights and big triangular grill. The 1957 Chrysler New Yorker, Windsor, and saratoga had single headlights, but a much narrower and horizontal grill, and the 1958 New Yorker, Windsor and Saratoga had dual headlights and but a much narrower and horizontal grill. The Chrysler in the photo is most certainly a '57 or '58 300 but it's missing the badge.
19/20, I'm a 75 year old in England, my first set of wheels was a '59 Morris Minor van.
Got all 20, but I always a car guy! Like Peter, I saw them all when they were new. As a boy, we had a game to identify the correct car by the sound before you saw it. I was always the winner at that. I still love cars.
Got 18 correct. Nice seeing these old classics.
I got all USA cars except the last fancy Edsel. Nice quiz!
Toilet seat grill is the giveaway
I’m a car show DJ. I Got all but one. 😅 Thanks for taking me down memory lane 😎 Mark B.
Nailed all the cars. Missed two trucks.
Surprised myself; 14/20. We actually owned a couple of them. Back when cars were interesting.
D
Closest I came to any of these in South Africa was a 1956 Ford custom. My Dad taught me to drive on one. American cars gave way to foreigners in the 1960’s
16 RIGHT. Should have gotten more. I'm 83. Was nuts for cars back then. My mother had a 48 Packard that I drove in high school. Took my license test in my aunt's Crosley.
This is the first time I found this site. It is great! I only missed one and you bet I subscribed to get more quizzes! This is when cars were cars, not the cookie cutter vehicles that you see today. They all look the same from year to year.
20/20 Finally got them all! Hooray!
B
Got 18 right. 😁 I've owned several.
75 years old - missed one! Great cars. 🚙
I'm a 75 y.o. car guy; so 20 out of 20!
100% and it would be really nice if when you pushed the answer you think that it would keep your score that way. Loved the memories.
This should be interactive so us old guys can show that we know every one because they were our growing up cars that we saw growing up
Born in 1948,I owned some of these,or knew people who did,just for your information,at 15 years old,when I started to drive,a bought a 1953 fordV 8 two door sedan flathead for 50 dollars in Chicago,drove it the next day to Toledo Ohio,to buy fire works for the Fourth of July,ran alittle hot,like most flathead V8 s,but at 76,still breathing!Thomas A.Filipiak
A lot of guesses, but I am very very good at reducing multiple choice to a binary guess (3rd highest LSAT score in North America in 1978) ... and I was 'there and sentient' in the late '50s ... went with reflex, intuition, and fin styling, plus standard mark indicia ... scored 18/20, with 5 or 6 "Whews!" ... I doubt I'd ever get 20 at that difficulty level, 19 would have been horseshoes ... 18 is probably top of my distribution curve, so I'm smiling 😁
19 put of 20 great vintage cars!
For the first time in my life I got the 20 correct, I'm 74, Australian and a life time car nut..
I rode in most all of these American cars at one time or another. Back when cars were a work of art. My favorite was the Packard. Rode better than any Caddy.
At 80 years old, I've seen and driven a few of these. 20 out of 20 correct.

Great stuff!
I had 18 right. You missed my ‘54 Victoria 2 door hardtop. A classic car in our car club.
The fifties was when I learned to identify cars, but I only got 14 right. Some were way too exotic for the neighborhoods I lived in.
18 out of 20, nice cars!
I got 19 of 20. Cars back then had real styling!
I got all 20 right.
I can’t forget that Edsel, when I was born in 1946 and by the timeI was 6 and 7 years old my Dad taught the makes and models of all the cars. The 1957 Chevy is a model we had. But I don’t know the foreign makes, never heard of them.
I’ll set the record straight on the first one. It is a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere, which was available in red and many other colors. from 1956 through 1958 the Plymouth Fury was a specialty package which was only available in white with gold anodized trim with a buckskin, beige interior. In both the movie and the book Christine they described the car is being a red fury which is inaccurate. Starting in 1959 you could get a fury in red. In 1958 Plymouth had the following available styles. Suburban, Plaza, Savoy, Belvedere, and the Fury.
I got 18 of 20 right. Haven't seen some of these antique cars in more years than I want to admit!
The Fury was a limited-edition Buckskin beige two-door hardtop with Fury rear fender nameplates; "Sport Tone" moldings (with gold anodized aluminum inserts); bumper wing guards; padded interior; front and rear foam seats; back-up lights; dual outside rearview mirrors and special Dual Fury or Golden Commando V-8.
Damn....I'm impressed....you must have owned one
I’m glad there’s only 4 per number but I was able to get 16 right fun quiz.
Got 18 out of 20 73 years young👍
Got them all right
I got 12 out of 20! It was Fun!!
1957 Plymouth Fury
In my day Cub Scouts had an arrow for identifying cars!
18-20 not due to 50s car knowledge as I have little to none in that area of cars. I attribute my success to learning how to take tests by eliminating those I know are not correct and then taking a pick at what remains.
Missed ONE , WHAT A TIME TRAVELING Trip ,😅🤣😂 THE HUDSON with the skirts. .... 😢
16 out of 20 ain’t bad for a lady of 76, who younger was more interested in cars than fellas..🤣. I love the old classics, they had style and graceful designs, something unheard of in today’s market, mostly they all look alike anymore, boxy and unappealing for my taste. I inherited my dad’s 1955 Chrysler New Yorker, my mom couldn’t drive, but I was unable to keep it, I had to sell it and practically gave it away to a gentleman who was a collector of Chryslers for $100. It needed some repair work on it and I was pregnant and needed the money for my baby’s arrival. I also owned a Plymouth sport fury, an Olds Delta 88, and a Caddy, all of which were 1960 models….miss my Plymouth and Olds, good cars, and believe it or not, even though they were that old, they were also good on gas mileage too, but not like todays though, buts that’s here nor there. My Olds was like a tank in the snow, while my Plymouth had the speed and ran better in the summer when roads were drier…..they truly don’t make them like they used to though…😢👍❤️🙏🏼
That was fun seeing those rides again -100%😁
I got 100 Percent but I had to make educated guesses about the foreign cars-English German and Italian had distinctive but subtle styling trends.
I scored 14 out of 20 on the multiple choice - but I have an an 'old dude' advantage!
I got them all correct.I had to guess at two of the more exotic ones, but easily narrowed them down to two because I knew what they weren’t. I guessed correctly because I knew their”trademark” looks and designs.
10/20. Born in 1951. Female, so I wasn't as interested in cars. So I'm surprised I knew that many. It was fun!
'Scuze me, but I think the '59 Caddy is a sedan deville.
That's what I said.
I believe eldorado came in 2dr only then you are right!
Iffy on two butt guessed correctly, knew all others… thought you weren’t going to have an older Skylark but you did. Thanks
I got all but one. . .and I guess I should pat myself on the shoulder, but I'm over 80 and I should have gotten all of them.
I'm 82 and got 'em all. Yay me !!
Picked 18 of 20, had to guess on 5. I’m 87 and have owned 40 cars.
Missed that Hudson Hornet, dammit. 19/20. Born in 48 and, as a boy in the 50s, knew most American car models. Dad later stationed in Germany, so the British/European models weren’t a problem. Fun stuff.
Well I guess 18 out of 20 ain't too bad, I have a '57 Ford Fairlane 500 two door so yes I do enjoy the fifties cars.
Missed 3 born in 42 guessed on 3 others …
Missed one. That Hudson fooled me..Drove some of them and worked on many of them 54 to 92.
