The make and model were simple the year I could only guess at.

[GTJUNIOR]

Knew the make and had a fair idea of the model. Didn't take much to determine the year. Beautiful car.

Bought an almost identical car many many years ago for $500 from a little used-car lot in north Ga. It was sitting WAY in the back, hadn't run in a long time. Dragged it home, had it running in a couple hours. Sure wish I'd kept that one.

Maybe after this quiz is finished you can tell me how to determine the exact model year?

In my case, I had to find the exact photo.

Was that a small, used car lot or a used car lot that didn't get much custom, or a car lot that sold little used cars? Whatever, at least you bought the car, I always found reasons not to buy them.

I could not find any pic of that exact car. 

I also have a question about that exact car and a detail it has that no others in my search had. I'll ask when the quiz is finished.

 Hyphens are our friends. If I'd written little-used car-lot, we'd have one meaning. Little-used-car lot would be another. I think little used-car lot is pretty clear.

Oh , I didn't spot the hyphen! Sorry 'bout that.

It's good to see this many people still play.
