About This Quiz

While there are some amazing newer vehicles on the road, there is nothing that compares to the elegance and style of a classic car. During this quiz, we want to figure out which classic car you should drive. You might think you're a Mustang kind of driver, but are you really sure?

As we cruise through this quiz with the top down, we will put your love of cars and your driving style to the test. Once we figure out which classic car you would look best and handle best, we'll let you know which one is right for you. From the appearance to the features, there's a classic car out there that would make you look like the queen or king of the road!

To find out which one you should park in your garage, we will ask you a series of questions designed to figure out your automotive likes and dislikes. All you have to do is choose the response you feel best sums up your mind and your feelings on the subject. Once we've figured you out, determining the classic car you should own will be as clear as a newly washed windshield. Let's find out which car is right for you!
