Sweet little test missed 2, the old De Soto's and Chryslers got mixed up. The third car in the first question is a 55 C/Gas car first build by Blair's Spd Shot in Pasadena, Ca, car ended up in the hands of Dan Nunes and ran at Lion's Drag strip in Long Beach.

cool man. Got 44 out of 48. I guess I'm old ehough. Learned to drive in a '51 Studebaker Champion; the cool guy in town had a propeller on the front bullet nose. Drove a '56 Chevy in college; the tube-type radio ran the battery down while we were 'parking'. You could always push start the car.

Cars were my main interest even before I was old enough to drive. I rebuilt a Chevy small block when I was 13 (1960). I had neighbors that were car buffs and I hung around their garage quite a bit. I'd guess I had around 12 or 13 cars when I was between the ages of 15 and 20. Worked as a filling station mechanic both before and after the Navy and still tinker with anything that doesn't need a computer to diagnose.

Ray, 12-13 cars in 5 years?? Thats one of 3 things. Couldn't fix right, really hard on them or made lots of money buying and selling. I know that I'm not as old as Jim2...no one is that old....not even dirt. "He who walks with the dinosaur's" is J2's battle cry. LOL

Believe it or not, I would get bored or find something I liked better. Ya gotta remember, we could buy used cars back then for a few hundred bucks. I would fix em up and sell em...
