Loophole LaRue, SASS #51438 Posted April 25, 2011 Share Posted April 25, 2011 90%...the only problem I had was with some of those Plymouth/Chrysler/Dodge/DeSoto look-alikes. Most of these cars pre-date me, but they were the beaters we could afford in high school. Man, could they float; couldn't handle worth a darn, and wallowed in the turns, but they were almost like a boat at highway speeds. Steel thick like a SASS target; rubber floor mats; huge steering wheels, often with clear sections and chrome horn rings; short nap wool upholstery, like Grandad's lounge chair; and chrome everywhere. Technology may be great, but nostalgia still rules the heart. LL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calamity Kris Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 90%...the only problem I had was with some of those Plymouth/Chrysler/Dodge/DeSoto look-alikes. LL Yah that's what hung me up too. Most of these cars pre-date me, but they were the beaters we could afford in high school. LL I'll need to duck when I say this but all of them predate me. I do remember seeing some of them at school though..... Technology may be great, but nostalgia still rules the heart. LL I'm with you. That's why I like the good old US iron. Daddy wasn't into cars. It's a taste I acquired. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smuteye John SASS#24774 Posted April 26, 2011 Share Posted April 26, 2011 OK, Kris talked me into playing, here's how I did... You got 46% (22 right out of 48). The average score is 73% Dave, If it makes you feel any better, I scored exactly the same thing as you did. I have an excuse, though. I was born in 1970, so all the cars were already classics by the time I was old enough to crawl, much less drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was born in 1970, so all the cars were already classics by the time I was old enough to crawl, much less drive. I'm ten years older than you, but still those cars were before my time for the most part. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
