We’ve started a new series called “test your door handle IQ.” As the name implies, the concept is similar to the steel wheel quizzes that we have been publishing regularly for a couple of years now but it deals with door handles from vintage cars.
Can you identify the make and model that the following door handles come from? It’s not as impossible as it might sound – we’ve picked door handles that are relatively easy to recognize and we’ve done our best to include a generous amount of sheetmetal in the picture to help you out. As a general rule of thumb, we wouldn’t quiz you on something that we ourselves couldn’t recognize.
Note that there are several right answers for some of these.
