Just for Fun: Car Quiz C

For those of you who joined us late, this is how it works:

I post the make and model name of a car or truck, but I've re-translated the model name. Based on that, you try to figure out model name of the vehicle.

Example: Dodge Male Sheep = Dodge RAM

The answers will be spoiler-blocked; let us know how many answers you were able to figure out WITHOUT PEEKING!

The first few quizzes are made up mostly of common or well-known cars and trucks that were sold in North America in the last 25 years or so. As the quizzes progress, the vehicles get more obscure, and the clues get more esoteric.

Starting to include some older, more obscure cars now. Gen-Xers should be familiar with a lot of these, but we're getting into Boomer territory.

1. Chevrolet 'Fresh Prince's' Neighborhood = Chevrolet Bel Air

2. Mercury Sailor = Mercury Mariner

3. Chevrolet Callously Carefree = Chevrolet Cavalier

4. Mercury Climber of the Alps = Mercury Mountaineer

5. Ford Small Bird of Prey = Ford Falcon

6. Studebaker Medium Bird of Prey = Studebaker Hawk

7. AMC Large Bird of Prey = AMC Eagle

8. Chevrolet African Antelope = Chevrolet Impala

9. Pontiac Utah Salt Flats Location = Pontiac Bonneville

10. Chevrolet Famous Person = Chevrolet Celebrity

11. Honda Agreement = Honda Accord

12. Dodge Group of Travelling Gypsies = Dodge Caravan

13. Dodge Thin, Wispy Cloud = Dodge Cirrus

14. Chevrolet Landslide = Chevrolet Avalanche

15. Dodge Credit Card User = Dodge Charger

16. Plymouth Fierce Game Fish = Plymouth Barracuda

17. Oldsmobile First Word in the Name of the Northern Lights = Oldsmobile Aurora

18. Nissan Section of a Poem = Nissan Stanza

19. Mercury Nobleman Ranking Below a Duke and Above an Earl = Mercury Marquis

20. Jeep Person Who Has An Intense Love for Their Country = Jeep Patriot

Post your score! Tell us how many you figured out WITHOUT PEEKING!

15/20. Missed 6, 10, 11, 13 and 17. Have to disagree with you on a few clues, but it was still a really fun quiz!

Especially liked your first clue for #7. I think I went with 'Chevrolet Intense Burner,' on my quiz.
