I saw this courtesy of an email forward. Took the quiz - only got a 77%. I don't know a Chrysler from a Dodge from a DeSoto from a Plymouth.  ::)

My first car was a green 1968 Plymouth Fury III. What a chunk o' steel that car was.
"A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means."

I was good on the GMs and Fords but didn't know a lot about Chrysler products.

I got four of four on the first one by starting with the earliest year and the smallest tailfins and working forward from there.

Couldn't do much of anything on the rest of the questions. My real interest in cars started in the mid 1960's and ended in the early 1970's.

Favorite cars were the Shelby Ford Cobras. They came standard with a cop in the rear view mirror.
In a doomsday scenario, hippies will be among the first casualties. So not everything about doomsday will be bad.
