I saw this on the C1-C2 forum and thought you gearheads would like to take a crack at it. I got 13 out of 17 right. I had to guess on a couple.

Enjoy!

15 outta 17. I picked 1 too quickly (early Ford), and guessed on 1 (new vs old Hemi). The rest were not too bad, but I am 55 years old, so I've seen most of them along the way...
