98% But I wasn't sure on a few, but lucked out.
I have an encyclopedia called "American Car Spotter's Guide 1920-1980" I used to study every page because I was a car nut.

I had the most difficulty with the Chrysler products. It's hard for me to tell a Plymouth from a Dodge from a DeSoto.

I got 41 of 48 but if I had paid attention I missed two that I knew the answer to.

The hood ornaments were tough except for the desoto.

I was about to flip a coin on that one until I realized that was Hernando DeSoto sitting on the hood.

88 percent. The page with all Mercurys messed me up, and the Kaisers/Willys/Henry Js too. I would do unspeakable things for that Roadmaster convertible.
