Barrett Jackson Taillight Trivia

[nissangirl74]

When Greg and I were walking through the cars at the show this week, I commented on how I used to be able to identify almost any car by their taillights or headlights. Some of the new cars are so similar, it's not that easy anymore. So, I thought I'd do a bit of trivia for you guys, see who really knows their stuff. I'll give you the tail light, you give me the make and model. Good luck!

Joel, I told Greg you would be the one. You got 7 out of 13 which isn't bad because of course I am an a55 and picked the most obscure s*** I could find. Here's what's right, here's what someone still needs to try and figure out.

1.
2.
3.
4. '66 Nova
5. '57 Buick Wagon
6. '71 Dodge Dart
7.
8.
9. '72 Karmann Ghia
10.'62 Chevy Biscayne
11.
12. '66 Mustang
13. Ferrari Spider

Great idea for a thread! I like it!

[nissangirl74]

I had to consult Greg on a few of them because some of the cars that have been modified have used lights from "whatever-they-could-find". These are all from cars that are unmolested or restored back to original. I wanted to get this thread up before I posted the pictures from the show so people wouldn't be tempted to flip back and forth to figure them out. I'll post up the main photo thread later today. There were some amazing cars there this year. There were also a few that shouldn't have been anywhere near Barrett-Jackson. Some of them I looked at thinking, "Really? You brought that piece of crap HERE?"

Ha.

I don't know any of the answers for the ones left to be figured out ha.

I can't wait to see the pics from the show.

REALLY REALLY close, but not quite. Year is right. 'Parent' company is right.

[Bubba1]

I love these contests. Is #1 an Amphicar by chance?

#2 I'm thinking with the pointy end might be a Ford Edsel??

#3, with the "guide" on the lens, I'm thinking GM, perhaps an early 50's Chevy, like '53-'54?

Wow, I guess I had a mispent youth with cars ....As info, I parked beside an Amphicar a few months at a cruise night. Got to look it over pretty well. Very cool cars.
