Just back from a 2,000 mile road trip with Gilda down to St. Augustine, FL, with stops along the way in Rockville, MD, Charleston and Hilton Head, SC, and Savannah, GA. Seeing all those cars on the road got me to thinking about the nameplates of many of our vehicles over the last century, so I decided to create a little quiz for your edification (actually mine, but you get to enjoy it, too).
Score one point for identifying a car name from the clue and another point for identifying the division of the parent company manufacturer. For example, if the clue is Theater, the answer would be Ford for both the car name and the division of the parent company.
Top score including bonus points is 118. Answers will be published a few days from now.
