Well....I'm fast closing in on 84 in three months....have been a car & motorcycle buff the majority of my life (and as well as a paid mechanic)......and.... I'm somewhat embarrassed by my total lack of knowledge of so many of these various cars....although, motorcycles were my primary interest. As for myself, I have now driven a Pontiac Fiero ever since '89, and currently drive an '88...V6 with 5 speed tranny. In a couple of weeks, I will pilot it to my favorite casino 'town'...Laughlin NV....round trip.....1500 miles....to take advantage of a 'Free' three night's stay there. My 1st two Fieros, with the Iron Duke four cylinder/five speed, I routinely got an honest 40 mpg....but with this V6, I have to drive quite conservatively in order to attain 30 mpg...but it does have a 12 gallon fuel tank versus the 10 gallon of my other two. My main concern....there is a 210 mile stretch of highway in the east CA desert with very few gas stations, and cannot count on ANY of them even being open, so I will carry a full two gallon can along with me through that stretch. My ex-wife's uncle often talked about ALL of the cars he had owned, frequently ending by saying......"Never bought a new car in my life.....Let someone take the beating!", of course, meaning the huge and immediate drop in worth the car morphes into after being driven off the lot. I might also add....I bought a '58 GMC 3/4 ton pick up in 1970, drove it to Fairbanks, AK...and then on to Circle, where the road ended by a very wide Yukon River. Since then a bridge has been built there and one can continue on to the Arctic Ocean, if so desired. At the time, the early settlers named it Circle, becasue they believed they were on the Arctic Circle, but, in reality, they were about 10 miles short. About four months ago, I gave that pick up to my youngest son. Remember the Kaiser? I managed to pick up the 'ultra rare' 54 two door sedan...only 50 made. Someone had tried to install a Studebaker V8 in it, gave up and abandoned the project. I bought the car, (For $10) and, with much work and relocating the steering box, I installed a 58 Pontiac 370 V8. That car proved to be the 'most fun car' I've ever owned, and took many long trips all over the western USA with it. Once while in an isolated stretch of remote highway in Montana, I came up behind a stumble-bum parade of nearly ten cars, all driving well below the speed limit...with NOone attempting to pass. (I had my overdrive set up with a dash on/off switch) I waited for an opportunity of a long clear stretch, dropped it out of overdrive, and then nailed it. It wasn't until I was about to pass the 'lead' car (at Well above the speed limit).....that I suddenly realized it was a Montana Highway Patrol car. I passed, but chopped the throttle without ever touching my brakes, fully expecting to be pulled over. He followed me for over ten miles, but never stopped me...and, I learned MY lesson!....I later reasoned most likely he was already late and way overdue for his mid-afternoon coffee/doughnut break! BHE

@@marshaedwards1328Never been in a Shelby, but have wondered about them. I've longed to drive a Lamborghini....my wife once looked into renting one for my birthday, but couldn't find ANYplace which would rent one. I was born in '40, and learned to drive on a '49 Chevy, when my folks moved from Oregon to central CA in '56. My dad went a few months prior to us, (In a '47 Chevy) my mother rented the biggest two-wheel trailer she could find. Because she had a 'bad' right leg, which often swelled up to three times normal size, at the age of 15, the driving mostly fell upon my shoulders....with a '49 Chevy. Over the years she had canned 1500 quarts of various fruits...mostly Bing cherries. When we loaded up, it quickly became apparent it all wasn't going to fit, so we made the long 800 mile drive to our 'new' home, slept one night and then headed back to Oregon for a 2nd load, with just my mother and I, and with me doing 100% of the driving. Also, and THIS still bothers my wife to this day.....My mother ate every damn one of those cherries, often saying how good they were......DO you think she'd EVER share any? Never, not even once, any prayer of sharing ANY of them! Many times, over the years, I have returned to that area in Oregon, just to stare at where those huge cherry trees once stood.....everything gone now.....just a barren empty field. Because I've many times attended the McMenamins UFO conference in nearby McMinnville, OR (Only six miles away from where I once lived) I've often went by to look just to stir the memories. And, as to cars....I bought my first Pontiac Fiero in '89 (an '86 4 cyl/5 speed) truly a 'mid-engine sport car....and have driven a Fiero ever since '89. Currently drive an '88 V6 5-speed. It had belonged to a car dealership in Mankato, MN....because it was the last year Pontiac made them, he left it on his showroom floor for seven years, then moved it to Florida as his own personal car, where he drove in only while on vacation there. In 2013, I flew to MN, picked up the car and drove it back to my CA home (Only had 19K on it)....has been my primary driver ever since and is now nearing the 90K mark. This car was NEVER designed for a V6....recently my car mechanic (who has made me promise that when I do part with this car, give him first chance)....did a tune up on it and, in order to change one of the rear spark plugs, had to first remove the engine in order to do so! My younger brother also owned an 88 Fiero....in Idaho....when it came time for a tune up, simply took it to the dealership and let them do it. BHE

SECOND OF TWO COMMENTS: Thanks for developing this "Classic Car Quiz". I subscribed, and anticipate future videos. I was born in the late 1940s, so growing up in the 1950s and 1960s, like the majority of Americans, I loved American cars and still do. The nation's love affair with the automobile was always strong, but became more prominent beginning in September 1945. The nation was starved for cars for four years during World War II in which the availability of cars for 99% of civilians was not possible. Manufacturing halted on February 2, 1942 as the factories switched over to producing war materials. Only a very few (doctors, farmers, police departments) could purchase stockpiled 1942 models due to their "essential" professions. During the 20th Century 40% of all job in the U. S. were directly related to the automobile industry in either production, repair, parts manufacturing, servicing, or sales.

I got 14 of them. And I'm a 73-year-old female.....

Pretty impressive....even better than I! I was born in '40 and should have known them all...but didn't. How about a Kaiser? Drove several, starting in 1960, with a '51. I had four, with my last one, the ultra rare 54 two door sedan (Only 50 made) I chucked the anemic Continental flat head six cylinder engine (fantastic boat anchor and also employed in many fork lifts) and, with a lot of effort, including relocating the steering box, Installed a 58 Pontiac 370 V8 engine. I drove that car all over the western USA for several years, taking many trips from CA back to MO, where my 1st wife's folks dwelt....and had more fun with that car than any car I've ever driven, including my current 88 Pontiac Fiero.....V6 5 speed. As my ex-wife's uncle often said when talking about cars....."Never bought a new car in my life....Let someone else take the beating!"....of course, referring to the huge drop in value immediately after being driven off the lot. Also....in an unrelated tale......in the early 60's, I was just becoming aquainted with the term, "Bible Belt" which refers to a swath of highy religious states in the SE corner of the USA. I asked my 1st wife's uncle if MO (Who lived there) is considered to be a part of the bible belt (It is)......he had NO idea of what I was even talking about and thought a bible belt was some kind of special belt one would wear so they could easily tote their bible around with them wherever they went! BHE

18/20. Surprised myself.

When I was stationed in Newburgh, NY, Stewart AFB, I bought a 1957 Chevy Bel Air from the Pharmacy NCOIC. This was in 1967 and the car was in mint condition. He was asking $350 which was a lot of money for an E-2 Airman! I got my mother to cosign on the credit union loan. My monthly auto loan was $35 a month. I'm 77 this year and this was a great memory!

Good show Got 16 , a couple tricked me and two older ones had me stumped.

Got all the answers. Most of these cars were on the road as daily drivers when I was young, plus I am a car nut like my father was.

Missed 3. Loved '30s to' 70s. Knew them by heart. Grills, fenders and emblems dead give a ways.

Missed the Studebaker! 19 out of 20 before the multiple choice answers!

well that was interestig. I did get all 20 although some I had to think about. Multi choice made it easier.

I've only missed five.

Thanks for the quiz. I only did so-so.

Got them all!!

I mist 2 out of 20 good quite

Some very sweet cars! I missed three. The video was a bit slow, I either knew or I didn't. Again, beautiful automobiles. Thank you for sharing.

I got 16 right out of 20

I did 43 . I had 3 and 1 points answers. Good clip.

Us kids that grew up loving cars during that period nailed that quiz, with the exception of the foreign beasts we didn't care about. Showing just the front view on some of those cars made it tricky. Some of the cars you should of shown were the GTO, Sunbeam Tiger, Roadrunner and the 396 Chevy Chevelle.....but otherwise it was a decent group.

I did better than I thought I would. I scored 31. Started out hot guessing the first 3 immediately but cooled off quickly. Finished strong with the 914 Porsche.

The packard and the Lincoln stumped me but it’s most likely due to growing up middle class . The rest I knew them but really couldn’t get the years. It was fun

I MISSED 2

I was able to pick out the car brands before the multiple choices answers and I picked the right car once the multiple choice answers were put up. I probable got a lot of this from my dad being a car enthusiast. I am from the vintage of many of these cars at 62 trips around the local star.

If you tried this quiz with the cars of today nobody would get many of them, they all look alike now. The only ones kids would get would be the Corvette, the Prowler and the Viper and the PT Cruiser and only because that was dog was unique. The PT Cruiser was a knock-off of the old 1954 chevy flower wagon. And very few would get the model year of any of them.

That was fun, i should have done better,lol. 17 on the score..

Got most. Could have been faster

At 73, I got all manufacturers correct, but missed one vehicle year by one year. This wasn't very difficult for anyone who grew up in southern California. I could have named most of the engines that most of these cars could have been ordered with also. Don't ask how well they stopped in the rain or if they overheated on mountain grades, you won't like my answers.

I was born in 1942, so I am an 81 year old female. I found the test easy . . . 20 out of 20. I actually owned 4 of the cars shown.

Excellent choices, since starting my 80 year I was able to identify all the way to 18 as it had similar front end to my 40 Ford business coupe. The last one got me as it was modern looking more alike a late 40’s after the war. The over arching take away as to the individual styling before the 90’s now seems only the taillights are different. Plethora of SUV’s with crashing resale values. Good mix of foreign and domestic. More English, European, and Japanese cars. Seems like the introduction of retro cars has diminished with the 2025 intro of exotic looking street legal cars like PONTIAC AND FORD . GMI ( flint General Motors Institute ) had displays of future proposed prototypes in models build by graduate students in the 50’s,60’s and 70’s ( corvette stingray ) 10 years before 1963 split window. Will watch for future postings.

Did better than I expected
