Mario, Mario, Mario..how I wish that my high school tests were this easy. Of course I think loving and studying cars more than algebra and geometry and other classes may be the reason.

The hardest one for me was #22 which me being the Corvette aficionado, I had to really look at the side fender vents or gills as we called them to see it was a 67.

It's always a feast to my eyes to look at pics of the best time of y life. I couldn't wait until the fall unveiling of the new cars. My bicycle got a lot of miles on it as I peddled around the town to see all the dealerships.

They of course had their windows white washed to prevent you seeing the showroom treasures.

But I was smart enough to ride all around a dealership and find the ones hidden in the middle of a group of older cars they were trying to hide.

Ah yes, my Huffy Stingray bike was my hot rod until I could get a license. Even my Stingray bike had a stick shift. 5 speeds got their workout as I buzzed around town practicing wheelies. The bike had a racing slick on the back tire.

Yepper, the heyday of my life. Other than a bad case of acne and small for my age, everyday was a challenge to find FUN. Even with a paper route and playing baseball and working on a farm, life seemed so full of hope and enjoyment, and dreams.

Many of the cars listed here I've been able to own and enjoy. Not all of them, but enough to believe dreams DO COME TRUE......with patience.

My cousin still has a Stingray bike hanging from his garage ceiling. It's always an enjoyable moment to visit and look up and see where a lot of my happiness started. And he WON'T sell it to me. He said I wouldn't come to visit if I bought it !!!!! ;-)

Hi Rob, and thank you for the great childhood stories you tell so well. Nice going on the car quiz and getting #22 was a hard one!

I too looked forward to the Fall unveiling of new cars! Growing up in Queens NY we had a good number of car dealers on Hillside Ave and my cousin Frank and I would hit all of them looking for the "hidden" new cars before officially releasing them.

We would study the front and back of each Model and discuss the new changes. Like you said they hid the new models in the back parking lot but we knew where to look.

Then after each model got released we would go back and get as many new car brochures as we could carry, take them home, and read them cover to cover like it was a homework assignment! I still have many of them in my collection.

Yes Life was full of Hope and Dreams back then and our world evolved around cars. I would have loved growing up on a Farm like you. My wife and I have been taking yearly trips to Lancaster, PA and enjoy the Amish way of life. So calm and pure. We've been going there for over 40 years and still enjoy it.

I think you would still visit your cousin even if you bought his bike. The bike stirs up your memories but the real joy is in sharing them with someone else just as we do here on AT. All the Best, Mario

Mario, once again 100% correct. Too bad there is no money in getting correct answers. I would be able to top up my retirement fund. Fun test and looking forward to the 70's car quiz. Mario, you keep us old guys thinking with these car quiz's. Cheers.

Congratulations George on getting 100% again! We have a very smart group here on AT and you're at the top of the class.

The 50's and 60's were our era and so were the cars. It's good to stir up memories every now and then as you said.

Thank you for taking the test and I'm glad you aced it George. The 70's Game will be posted later this week and I hope you do well. Cheers, Mario

The 70's will be more of a challenge for me because there are not many cars that I like from the 70's era. Cheers.
