That's because you're an old fuddy duddy like me Norm. My brother also got an 85. He's 10 years younger than me but he's a real gear head. IIRC I also got an 85. I do remember mixing up the Henry J with the Kaiser. I wonder how many folks here have even seen those cars as well as a DeSoto or Hudson Hornet.

54%

I'm 28 and not really into cars from the 50's that weren't Corvettes.

Before the '80s & '90s all cars wre very distinctive with styling. It was a war between Ford ans Chevy as to who would be the more "progressive". Then in '59 Chevy put on those fantastic wings and then the big fin craze started.

Some of those old Cadillacs were atrocious with their fins.

That's not bad at all for a young guy. I figured I would ace the test since I grew up with those cars rolling around the streets. I was really into cars when I was a kid and prided myself on being able to ID a car at night by it's tail lights.

The '59 Caddy convertibles were one of my favorites. I think they had about the biggest fins ever.

Me too. I think all boys in our day can relate to that.

You got 46% (22 right out of 48).

I'm not great with distinguishing the brands that aren't big anymore like DeSoto, Hudson, and Pontiac.
