While these cars where too "old" for my time, I didn't do to bad... 85% (41 right out of 48). Some of these cars I had never even heard of.... (maybe I should have used google.) In the groups of questions I would normally get them all... or none.

I think I've done this before and scored better! Today I got 88% (42 right out of 48). The average score is 73%
Yup - The Henry J didn't look right so I mixed it up with the Willys too.

I'm embarassed. I got the '56 Chevy hood ornament wrong. I owned 2 1956 Chevys at the same time - a 150 Coupe and a 210 Coupe. (I put a 327 in each of the. One mild - one wild with the mild one assigned tow-car duties. Talk about mis-spent youth.
2 questions:
Did the 150 and 210 even HAVE a hood ornament? It look familiar but??
also
Did Chevy MAKE a Bel-Air before 1955? That red Drag Race Hardtop is identified as a Bel-Air (or was that name reserved for the Hardtop (without window post)?

I believe 1954 was the first Bel Air package. But I could be off. And I think maybe the 150 was a clean nose.

I guess I'm getting old I didn't miss any. Pretty easy the Willey's & the Henry J are very similar (same Co)all you need to remember is the Willey's has a W on it and the Henry J doesn't.

Sorry to admit, I got them all. In fact, I've probably owned one or more of most of the examples except the Henry J and the Willys.

Shows how my memory works. Next door neighbor had a 210 (56) commuter, it had one. We rode together to work summers - I summered where he worked regularly.

Is your 56 2dr. wagon a Nomad? I think they are way cool. By the way
your new place with the barn looks very nice. I wish I could afford a
place like that. I have to store my coach about 3 miles away at a welder
yard. The city will not let me keep it in the driveway. And I cant get
it to the back yard.
