Lousy 88%.
Not surprised there are so many 88s, since each error is binary.

44/48. It would have been easier to see both the front and back of some of these. When I was a kid I kept huge scrapbooks of car and airplane pictures. Wonder whatever happened to those.

65%. I am a car nut out of my element. Let’s do it again with 60’s cars. I ace that one.

I learned to drive in a ‘52 Desoto, with the “suicide” doors.

Thanks for reminding me of that old car. This one looks like maybe a ‘57?

My dad had an old Kaiser Frazier. Had buttons that controlled everything. Loved riding around in it when I was a kid. Sure beat that Nash he later bought which looked just like a yellow bathtub, at least that’s what my friends called it. Hated to be seen in it.

How did we ever manage without seat belts and all that electronic stuff?

Got 98%.

Should not have changed my answer on the hood ornament on the ‘56 Lincoln.

47/48 ain’t bad though.

Long live heavy metal.
