Funny thing about the memory–it doesn’t let you know when things begin to fade beyond easy recall. I realized last week that I can no longer remember the name of my fifth-grade science teacher. I rather expected to remember all my grammar-school teachers on my deathbed. Looks like that plan is off.
And so it goes in the auto world. Common cars seem unforgettable, as they’re around us for two commutes a day, five days a week. Yet, as the years become decades, some of what was once common fades to the neural back burner, becoming harder to retrieve on short notice than we’d expect.
So, as a public service, we present here the third in a series of fake car quizzes. Let’s see how sharp your memory still is. Did you miss the first two quizzes? Give them a shot, too:
Caution: Don’t scroll down too quickly; the answers are down below the last question. As always, all the cars listed were U.S. models, available for sale here in the States—except the fakes, of course.
