30 first try, the Pacer question almost threw me, had to think about that one.

I got 21 out of 30, which is probably pretty good since I wasn't old enough to drive then and I didn't know engine and transmission names.
Misleading question!

The Pacer was also a "bubble on wheels" made by AMC! The doors were so big, it was hard to get out of in a packing lot!

29 out of 30. I missed the Crowsley question.
29/30 in three minutes. The hood ornament on a Nash Metro tripped me up - always hated the little piece of ****...

NO COMMENT.
Keep your mouth closed & let people think you a fool, rather than open it & remove all doubt.

29/30 in under 5 mins. I was never a fan of Chrysler's products except for the original Chrysler 300. I didn't care what ID Chrysler's big block engines were called, so didn't have a clue on that one. ......
I got 26 out of 30. I was born in 1958, but had never even heard of a Crosley!

Mostly Detroit Iron. Nothing about Ferrari, Maserati, Jaguar, Aston Martin, etc.
29 out of 30! 
Born mid 40s and been a gearhead all my life.
Was going too fast and hit the wrong button by mistake and it cost me!

18 only. I was born in the 60s, and wasn't really a car guy.
As an indication of my "not a car guy" status, my first car in the late 70s was a 1968 AMC Rambler. Reliable, tough as nails, slower than a snail, and ugly as sin. 199 cubic inch straight 6 - I think it was rated at 98hp by the standards of its time. Would be much less today.
Looked like this but without the fancy wheels.

26 out of 30. Just an average man.
That's the question that tripped me up.
We use to shoot this game all the time as kids back in 50s. Set on the bench at the post office and try to be the 1st to name the car as it came into view. Cars had class back then, now I have to read the logo on them to figure out what they are.

30 for 30, first time. I've driven or ridden in many of them, including DeSoto, Studebaker, Hudson, Crosly, original T-Bird. Those were the days, my friend.
