Ya Old Farts think you know your cars, Do Ya ?

Discussion in 'The Hokey Ass Message Board' started by Mr Haney, May 4, 2011.

  1. I scored 81%. Some stuff was very easy, some had to think, missed some.
    The ones I didn't recognize and guessed at are cars that haven't been on my want to know about list.
    I recognized the DeSoto ornament because of knowing some American history about 1541, not because of knowing the car.

    96% pretty good - I didn't study.


    I mixed up the Chrysler New Yorker and the Desoto Firedrome. Not bad considering I didn't have ANY clue on those.

  3. Woo hoo, me got a 100%. So, is there an old fart cap or something?

    100% - But my older sis has said for yrs that I could name every car on the road by the time I was three 'cept I said Cadi-lay instead of Cadillac. The hardest for me was the hood ornaments. So I guess this is official - I must be an Old Fart!

    Hey fleet-master, don't feel bad. A lot of people don't know what a Willys Aero is, or have ever even seen one.

  23. 85%. Thats ok, i think:)

    My 27 yr old son just scored 92% so I guess he's an old fart too! Kaiser & Willys threw him too and mid-50s Chryslers.
