About This Quiz

If you're a huge auto fan, and we're talking about the kind of fan who knows about the cars of old and not only what the hottest vehicles on the market are, you'll know that the Ford and Chevy companies have been around for a long time. In 1950, Ford would have already been 47 years old, while Chevy was a little younger, at around 39. Both of these American brands paved the way, and it's why they're still at the forefront of the auto world today, and not just in the United States. 

With the likes of the Thunderbird and Fairline Skyliner on Ford's side and the Corvette and Impala on Chevy's, we've created a list of some of the most iconic cars from these to automakers for you. And the reason is that you're going to tell us which vehicle belongs to which company today. We'll show you some pictures of the best '50s models that we could find and it'll be up to you to recognize the style, design lines and bodies of the vehicle,- enough to determine which one is Ford and which one is from Chevrolet.
