90 per cent ... Of course I probably have owned most of them over the last 55 years. I got my drivers license at 14 yoa.

Dang! I got 77%. I had a few of those or got to drive them. I DID have to do some guessing, but based on some identifying features.

65%, but I'm proud of myself. I'm just over 40. My dad is a car nut and trained me well. But dude, question 11 was out there. No fair. Where did they come up w/ some of this.

81% but I'm a car nut and grew up in my grandfathers service station and saw many of those cars but I don't remember ever seeing or knowing of a Henry J...Thanks for that post, that was fun and brought back many memories...

Bought my first car at 14. !952 Merc with a flat head V-8. Had to wait until I was sixteen to get a license to drive it.

I got 81. Some of the hood ornaments tripped me up big time.

88% for me. I remember most of these cars but I grew up in Canada and some of these weren't available there.

Emailed to my dad, he just replied...he got 92%, score of 73. Obviously I need more training.

I vote for aviation - I was a car and aircraft nut before I was a gun nut.

92%, but I admit I was a little shaky on a few of them. I've owned a few of them, '56 and '57 chevy's,'55 and '57 pontiac, my Dad had '52 and'57 pontiac, and '62 Caddy.

I got 77%...I would say not too bad considering that I am 43. All of these cars were old even when I was a kid. Always been a car nut the greatest car of all time has to be the 34 FORD! every variation of that car looks right....fenders on/off, chopped or not, slammed or high on the rails, hood on or off...and if I ever have the chance to own one Black is the only color that'll do.

I rode to Junior high with my friends brother who had a 52 Merc, fender skirts, shaved chrome and a black and white skunk hanging on the rear view mirror. That was the best smelling air freshner ever. Wish I had one now. Great memories in a Merc. I know you enjoyed yours-lucky dog. All I could get later was a 47 Chev. 2 dr. with vacuum shift, 6 cylinder 3 speed on column. Not the coolest in town to say the least.
