Here's a challenge for all you car nuts and gear heads...

[revvinkevin]

This is a classic car quiz.
50 photos of parts of cars and you have to name the make and model for each one. It's quite challenging and quite fun!

OK, Let's see how you do!

OK.... Drivers start your engines!!!

That is quite fun.. I got 14 very quickly a couple of halfsies, not knowing the model, and some on the tip of my tongue.. LOL If I sit a think about them some more will probably come to mind. It's interesting though how just certain features of a certain car, even obscure ones, jolt your memory

Not too good

I got 64/100. Not bad, but not good either

I sent the link to my partner. He has a photographic memory like no other when it comes to cars. I could see my score was going to be pretty low so I'll advise on how well my partner did.

I got to 50...

right away. Then after worrying over the remaining ones for about half an hour, I gave up with a total of 78/100. The last ten or so came from cycling through possible choices until the right one hit. That got unrewarding quickly. SPOILER: I got real annoyed with the quiz author when "Nash Metropolitan" was adjudged wrong for make and right for model. Also could not get the model correct for the very first one, which is so obviously a '57 Chevy. I tried all of them I could remember without a hit. I got the '55 and the '61, should have been able to do it for that one as well.

I got 98/100 so I shouldn't complain, but there are some inconsistencies in the answers the program will accept. For instance, number 8 is a '71 or '72 Cadillac, but it will only accept "Coupe de Ville" as an answer, even though the same exact front fender and light was used on the Sedan de Ville . . . the correct answer is therefore partly a guess. Then on number 46, a '67 or '68 Caddy, it will only accept "de Ville", not Coupe de Ville or Sedan de Ville. On number 35, obviously a Nash Metropolitan, it will only accept "AMC", not Nash. AMC was the parent company but the car was marketed as a Nash.

The only one that totally stumped me was number 9 . . . has anyone figured out what it is?

Too bad some European cars weren't included, as there are a lot of unmistakeable parts to them as well . . . imagine the rear fins of a Borgward Isabella or maybe the chrome-slathered headlights on a gigantic ZIL 111, or the tail of a Tatra 87!

arrrghh don't give out all the answers,, some of us aren't done LOL

The only one that totally stumped me was number 9.......

Yes that one stumped me too!

So this is a pretty fun challenge, isn't it??

The Nash (not AMC) Metro... yes I had issues with that one too... and a couple others as well. I discovered this car quiz a few months ago.... After I struggled with the last few answers for HOURS... I e-mail the the guy that created the quiz and questioned him with my "issues". He replied back saying he'd get the shots at car shows and just used the "make and model" given to him by the car owner. Hmmm.

Ahhh yes.... number 9.... shall I give a clue? All righty then, a clue......... it was an american car sold only in Canada.

 

[petek]

got it... #9 that is.. LOL

 

[hydralique]

OK . . .

now I have the make and model for number 9 as well . . . that one is a toughie for those of us raised in the southwest US!

 

[exploder3211]

I couldnt figure any of them out, although i though i spied a 57 chevy, a mustang, a nash, and a couple others

 

[southernmdgeguy]

92/100

stumped on 9, and 24. I think 10 is right but it won't take my answer.. I won't say it yet.. and I could not get the actual model on 46 or 50.

Cool site, thanks.

 

[bongobro]

95 out of 100, but...

cool site, bro'! some of them were really tough!
