Welcome to the third 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 still getting a feel for what’s too difficult and what’s too easy, so don’t hesitate to let us know in the comments below what you think about this week’s quiz.
With that said, can you identify the eight classics pictured below? Enjoy, and thanks for playing along.
