Great test!   I received:

 

"You got 81% (39 right out of 48). The average score is 73%"

 

Which isn't bad considering it's 4am and I made a few silly mistakes

I did horrible - got 39%.
I guess I paid more attention to the drivers and the autos.

I got 75% or 39 out of 48.  Most of what traveled my roads back then were Fords and Chevys.

I'm not even going to embarrass myself by trying.  The only reason to have a cool car was to be popular with the girls.  I was still too ugly for that to work, and that little thing about money.  I did get to drive a couple of my dad's '50 Ford pickups around on the one or two dates I did have.  Unfortunately we sold the 64 1/2 mustang and my uncle sold his '53 Indian prior to me getting old enough to drive.  I got old enough to drive in '71. 

Now my buddy just bought a '60 vette in tourquise.  Pretty, pretty, pretty car.  His first trip is he and his wife are going to drive what is left of Route 66 in it. 

We are currently just about to start construction of a new Maserati dealership as well as a Rolls Royce and a Bentley dealership.  I'm hoping for test drives for our hard work!

Just be darn sure the 4 (four) yellow lights on the dash of the Rolls & Bentley are not burning when you move it, or it could wind up being DAMN expensive, ask the Dealer about that!

And I'm surprised I guessed this many right...half the names I didn't even recognize.

You got 33% (16 right out of 48). The average score is 73%

I feel your pain. The first job I had was cleaning a barber shop after school. At the time, the barber owned two Vincent Black Shadows, which he wanted to sell. Yes it was a few years before I could get a driver's license.  *sigh*
