I got 46 out of 48. The 52 and 54 Mercs stumped me.

I think that is an Allstate, not a Henry J. A Henry J sold and badged by Sears.

That was easy. The Mercs '52 '54 tripped me into a 96%.

I cut many knuckles on those machines. My parents would leave me in the care of my uncle. He ran a three bay GULF station. It was a totally different world. Not always fun or easy, but gosh it was a good time!!!:cool:

96% I had the same problem with the 52 & 54 Mercs.

100% here. I actually guessed on the 52 and 54 mercs. I always had a hard time with those. The rest were almost too easy.

100% When I was in High School in the '50's if you couldn't identify make and model
from 2 blocks away on a dark night you were a real nerd.

Hoovie - "You got 96% (46 right out of 48). The average score is 73%."

I always seem to get DeSoto's and Chrysler's mixed up....

Same here, high school in the mid fifties and some of us would sit on the corner and see who could be first to guess the oncoming cars.

I thought I messed up on the '52 Merc, but got lucky with 100%. Lost in the 50's.
