Louise (Susan Sarandon) owned the aqua-green 1966 Thunderbird convertible in the classic film. In the Beach Boys' "Fun, Fun, Fun," the girl simply drives a "T-bird," (other details unknown).

Louis Chevrolet was a Swiss race-car driver (though the name sounds French). He didn't stay with the company very long, but it kept his name ever since.

The Mustang was released midway through 1964, instead of being rolled out late in the previous year, like many new model years are. This gave it the nickname "the 1964 1/2 Mustang."

Chevrolet produced the Corvair in the 1960s. Consumer advocate Ralph Nader called it "a one-car accident" due to several design flaws.

"El Dorado" is "the golden city" in Latin American myth. Cadillac compacted it into one word.

The Buick Roadmaster was a classic full-size car made from the 1930s to the 1960s. Then it was redesigned and sold from 1991 to 1997.

"Vanishing Point" was a classic expression of post-Vietnam angst. A veteran and ex-cop is tasked with driving the Challenger across the country. Do both man and car make it? We don't want to reveal any spoilers ....

The DeSoto (later Chrysler DeSoto) was named for Hernando DeSoto, the Spanish explorer. One model even came with a light-up bust of the explorer as a hood ornament. (Oh, those crazy guys in the marketing department!)

The DeSoto was a long-lived brand, but it had its swan song in November 1960. That was right before John F. Kennedy won the election for U.S. president.

The Pacer turned heads in the 1970s for its compact, cab-forward design. It certainly wasn't in line with what the rest of Detroit was making.

Though the U.S. and Japan tend to dominate car making in terms of raw numbers, England has a proud tradition of making beautiful cars for the discerning buyer. Jaguar, which is both a racing-car and a luxury-car maker, is a case in point.

The Chevy Bel Air is the kind of car you imagine parked at drive-in restaurants with skating car hops. Big, curvaceous, often two-toned or convertible (or both!).

1. aerodynamic design
   gull-wing doors
2. its speed
   both #2 and #3

Though its design was fairly aerodynamic, that wasn't a unique design feature of this Mercedes. Rather, it was known for having doors that lifted straight up, as well as for being the fastest production car of its day.

The Testarossa was made in the 1980s and 1990s. Its design was exemplary of the very low "slide it under a door" Italian sports car.

1. six
   eight
2. ten

This is quite a lot of power, given that the Testarossa isn't a large or heavy car. All that power was in service of speed.

Technically, the Camaro Berlinetta entered production in 1979. The last ones were made in 1986.

Not all Corvettes carry the "Stingray" name. This got started in the second generation, which began in 1963.

It's easy to view "Corvette Summer" as a star vehicle for Mark Hamill after the success of "Star Wars." However, since it came out only a year later, the wonder boy of the early films would have been cast before "Star Wars" blew up at the box office.

The Belvedere preceded the Fury, rolling out in 1954. But it was the Plymouth Fury that became a star on the big screen -- as Stephen King's "Christine."

"Kafer" is German for "Beetle." In the English-speaking world, it's called a Beetle or a Bug.

1. front-engine, front-wheel drive
   front-engine, rear-wheel drive
2. rear-engine, rear-wheel drive

This layout remained consistent throughout the years. However, the Beetle had more powerful engines as buyers began to expect the capability for higher speeds in the 1950s, '60s and '70s.

The General Lee was clearly supposed to be the kind of moonshiner's stock car that gave rise to NASCAR. However, because the show was so family-friendly, the Dukes' ties to moonshining (made explicit in the precursor movie, "Moonrunners") were downplayed in the series.

The 911 is undeniably one of the world's most successful sports cars -- perhaps the most successful in terms of longevity and popularity. Got a challenger to this notion? Leave it in the comments!

1. the 1940s
   the 1950s
2. the 1960s
   the 1970s

The 912 was like a "starter" 911, with only four cylinders. This offered greater fuel efficiency to buyers. It was made from 1965 to 1969.

Confusing, isn't it? Don't let James Bond find out you have trouble with this one. He'd be shaken, not stirred, by the news.

The car in "Duel" was a Plymouth Valiant. It wasn't supposed to be a fast, hot car; it was an everyman's car. That was the point in this "salesman vs. homicidal trucker" movie.

As the name suggests, the Airflow was aerodynamic. But this was in the 1930s, an age of boxy, carriage-like cars, and the public just wasn't ready for it.

It's Hollywood's favorite trope: blue-collar guy who can barely pay the bills, but has a vintage car worth nearly six figures. In Cruise's case, the humble dockworker drives a 1966 Shelby Mustang GT350. Sure, we believe it.

The Edsel, a Ford sub-brand, was named for Henry Ford's son. Supposedly the car of the future, it underwhelmed buyers who found it overpriced, and it became the car of future trivia questions instead.

Aston Martin is a highly respected British carmaker, but money hasn't always followed respect. It has repeatedly had to struggle back from bankruptcy.

The last Studebakers were made in late 1963. This was a sad occasion -- the U.S. carmaker had been in business so long that it was originally a 19th-century wagon maker.

If you guessed the 1970s, that's nearly right, but it was 1969. Before that, "Mini" was an appellation added to small cars made by Austin and by Morris. For a time, "Mini" was its own brand. It's now owned by BMW.

Maybe you don't think of the Insight as a classic car, but think again. As the first gas-electric car widely available to consumers, the early two-seater Insight is clearly a classic of the future!
