IMCO I don't think the word "ICONIC" applies to all of those cars.

I missed one..my wife missed three (apparently my car infatuation has worn off on her).
I agree though, "iconic" not so much in many cases.

The much maligned 74-78 Mustang II - I thought they were a great looking car, if I had unlimited funds and the space one of those would definitely be in my fleet.

I got 48/49 but a few of them I had to make educated guesses on and on others I didn't know what the car was but knew which ones it wasn't and was able to get the correct answer.

40/49. Not bad for being born in 88 I'd say.

So, I got 45 out of 49.
Not Bad.
But I will say that it would have been harder if it weren't multiple choice.
And it also may have been more of a challenge if pictures didn't capture the badge in some of them, showing the nameplate.
The ones I missed were mostly the obscure exotics.
