Start your Engines!
If you consider yourself a classic car enthusiast, chances are you can distinguish not only makes and models, but different years as well, just by a single glance at the body. Heck, you might even be able to name the types of engines and performance metrics for these specific cars. But what about very specific body parts, like taillights?
We’ve put together the following images of taillights from decades gone by to see if you can correctly guess which cars they belong to.
So, start your engines. Here are 14 sets of taillights that could make or “brake” you.
Vehicle No. 1
Let’s start with a beginner-level taillight.
Answer: 1959 Cadillac Coupe de Ville

Vehicle No. 2
Another easy one, just to get you warmed up.
Answer: 1968 Volkswagen Beetle Classic

Answer: 1963 Porsche 356B Super 90 Hardtop Coupe
We’ll just leave you with a quote from Car & Driver’s 1963 review:
“Expensive? Only a few years ago you could pry a Porsche Speedster loose from a showroom for a shade under three grand. It seemed like a bargain. Our test car—a ’63 Super coupe—carries a basic price tag of $4408.”
