50's car contest
 

Thought I'd share this, hope it's in the right thread...john I got only 2 wrong , confused a Chrysler with a Desoto

Car Show Game - 1950s - American Torque .com

I got 90% same problem

I got 73%, was just guessing at the Desoto's but still got several of them.

Was doing good until the Mopars came up. :lol:

Got 88%. Damn Chrysler products.

77% - dang the difference between the Canadian vrs USA models, and the Nash's and Kaisers.

Got 92%. Chrysler and Desoto got me too.

83% for me.

looks great !just bought a 2010 panel. how did you debadge ??

Welcome to the site, Jim! I'm not sure who you're directing the debadging question to, so I'll give you my method, dental floss, double strand, get it into the 3M tape behind the badge and move in a sawing motion to cut thru the tape, any residue I roll off with my thumb, then a spritz of rubbing alcohol.

was doing good . . but 65 % :( lmao . . . . . . . .

At least I got 69%. Buick/Olds and 59/58 got me.

...

I got 90% (43 right out of 48).

83, yep dam Chrysler and Desotos,, stupid mistake on the Pontiac wagon and Buick, du I knew that,,,,

75%. Born in 1954 makes it tough to know early 50s cars. I got interested in cars in 67-8.

I’m a ‘54, got interested way earlier, thanks Dad!! He was a car guy

88%. It was a couple of those Chryslers.

Well this is a Blast from the Past.. I'm a 55 vintage, & born a car guy. Dad saw to that.

You got 88% (42 right out of 48). The average score is 73%.

I got buggered up on Canadian vs USA models, and the Nash's and Kaisers..

79% Those Kaisers and Willys... but I was born AFTER all these were built (64), so I tried...

You got 90% (43 right out of 48). The average score is 73%.

You would think, me playing the same game as yesterday I should get 100%.................Nope, but I gained 1 on it.. LOL

You are a glutton for punishment! Get out while the gettin's good!

Doc- Help, I'm hooked..

You got 94% (45 right out of 48). The average score is 73%. I'm gaining on it.. LOL

Ok, the 3 fender emblems mean, not a Road Master, so thinking Special.

1950 or '51 Buick Special w/ straight 8.

1951 Buick Super.

Seems like Bonez is not gonna tell us I was right.. LOL

Bonez, are ya out there ?

Don’t leave us hanging man! Enquiring minds just gots ya know!
What is it, Bonez, what is it?

If you look in his pics you will get the answer. And revealing this, I must disqualify my answer.................................

? A Roadmaster is supposed to have 4 portolets per side.

There is a chrome emblem on the trunk lid that says "Special"

But, that's none of my business...

Blue- I never said it was a Road Master, I did say it was NOT one.

I’m just indicating the number of portolet’s , nothing to do with your post, Sleeper.
As for the script in the trunk lid , the photo is to grainy to read it. That and it’s easy to stick a nameplate or badge on a car to make it something it’s not! Like or trucklets and people who stick SS badges on the doors of an LT or LS

And, back in the 50's badges were bolted on.

Well whatever it is, I like it!

Well the old owner posted what he said it was at the pics.. So there's that... And I like it too.

LOL sorry didnt see it...
It is a 51 Buick Special Hardtop ( rare as most had side posts )
It started by pressing the gas pedal down ( pretty cool )
An ex girlfriend got it from her boss as a Christmas gift instead of a pay raise ( he had too many cars and wife was making him downsize )
I helped her work on it, after she got married it sat in the field at their farm and I acquired it after 10 years. I rewired it and redone the entire interior in silver crushed payne and paint over the winter season in my basement.
After owning it a few years mainly sitting in my garage only driven occasionally on the weekends I sold it to a collector. If I would have kept it I would have chopped and dropped it as well as drop a built motor and trans in it, the original torsion suspension floated like a boat.

Well there it is....Cool Beans..

Yeah... It's a Special, but go ahead, don't believe me... wadda' I know
