Here is a cool quiz for identifying tail fins for 56 1948-early 60's autos. I got 50/56 for 90%. 68% is average. Try it. at www.americantorque.com/game/tailfins. Couldn't paste it here and I posted it twice. Too many G&tTs tonight. Sorry.

Lainey

84% Higher than average. Not bad for a girl born in '55. Love the cars from that era.

I only scored 35 out of 56 for a 62% average. Many were just good guesses. I never was into American cars of that period.

Morris

I got 77% which is low for a guy that had a couple 56 and 58 vehicles himself.

Fun game! I'll claim 86%, but then I'm an old fart, er, dude.

My grandmother drove a '56 Desoto, beautiful and impeccably maintained, in pink and white, so those were easy for me. My folks had various Chevrolets, Fords, and Chrysler products, so that was also helpful.

For the most part, fairly easy to differentiate among GM vs Ford vs Chrysler products, based on overall / generic styling cues.

Emil St-Hilaire

91%. 51 of 56.

Excellent Lainey.

I made a WAG on two 50's Mercs and got 'em all. Not sure I could guess the same twice. Most were fairly easy if I ignored the fins as there are plenty of other clues especially when there was just one car from each make in the group of 4. Not hard to pick out a Plymouth Fury or early 50s Studebaker. Once there were multiple cars of the same make a model year apart it got more difficult and I resorted to that lucky guess.

Alas, modern robotic car assembly nailed the coffin of annual model styling changes tightly closed. Heck into the 1960s one could buy a car in 3 or 4 trim lines that had different trim, and shapes, and they were available in 2-door, and 4-door models, sedans and "hard tops" (no window frames); station wagons, convertibles, etc.

I got bored and stopped halfway through.
