18 correct.
Fine, I'm older than dirt. Heck, when I was born, rainbows were still in black-and-white.
But I don't need glasses, thank you very much; I can still drink straight from the bottle.

#19...My mechanic father once repaired the Inkspots car that had broken down on a trip between gigs back in the 50's. They even sang a number acapella in his service station for him. It was one of his favorite memories of his years in the garage business.

100 %, and, like Pappa John, I'm old. Probably older.
Dunno how I did that?

The answer to # 6 took me aback. I thought it was Studebaker and that's what I chose. I was thinking a later than '46 (3 passenger coupe?)
(Think Bullet Nose or a couple of years earlier.)

I used to participate in a Studebaker Newsgroup. That was ~ 7 (give or take, plus minus) years ago. Most of the cars owned by the participants in the NG were '53 or newer. "Modern Vehicles". A member owned a WWII era Weasel, a tracked amphibious Army vehicle. He sent me an invitation to attend a Can-Am Northwest Show. I did. I shot off 6 rolls of 36 exposure 35 mm film that day.

I have not owned a Studebaker. I've driven one though. It was a '49 pickup owned by my high school best friend's Father. Chris was really pissed when his Father sold it. I didn't blame Chris for his reaction. It was a tough little truck.
