That was really fun...I missed only 4. Numbers 12, 15, 18, and 19

I only missed one... number 15. LOL Goes to show how OLD I AM! I'm surprised I remembered that many. I know the reason I missed that one is that we really never were TV watchers. I was outside as much as possible ever since I could walk out the door on my own.

I missed three, 6, 13, & 15. I think 6 may be wrong though. I thought the Tucker was the car that looked the same from the front and back, but I could be wrong. I've seen a Tucker, and I thought that was one of the features mentioned. I know the Tucker has headlights that move from side to side so they follow your steering.

#6 isn't wrong Marilyn...we use to have a Studebaker. A very light green that you couldn't tell if it was coming or going. Such a weird looking car...LOL
