Welcome to the very first article in our “test your classic car IQ” series. In a nutshell, we’re combining our steel wheel, headlight, door handle and emblem quizzes into a single series that will also include other components. Expect to see pictures of air dams, shapely quarter panels, unique instrument clusters, and so on.
The point of this quiz isn’t to trick our readers; we’re trying to make it overly difficult, and we wouldn’t post a picture of a part that we wouldn’t be able to recognize ourselves. If it’s too hard — or too easy — let us know in the comments below.
With that said, can you identify the eight classics pictured below? Enjoy, and thanks for playing along.
