The DeLorean cars had one big flaw. They kept sucking up the white lines from the highway.

10/12
Surprisingly good for me.
The Saturn logo was instantly recognizable. But I'm mortally embarrassed to admit that - until this moment - it never dawned on me that it was a stylized drawing of...um... Saturn.

I can't believe it. I got 10/12, but the 2 I missed were Plymouth (I had a '63 Valiant convertible) and Packard (my grandfather had a pink 1941 "boat")!

I knew the Packard logo because that was the first car I remember My dad having when I was a sprout. After that, he only had Buicks. I know, I know. Yes, I am!

Studebaker, nothing. That's the logo for Pepsi!
kkvegas daDoctah 45 months ago
When I saw it I said to myself, "I didn't know Pepsi made cars!"

Similar to Pepsi,
its used by both, Studebaker had many Designs..
BrentwoodJon canttouchthis 45 months ago
That was the last design Studebaker used.
How do you get Pepsi out of a lazy S ?

Choose—-- Wisely ! 😚

Yup, as did Pepsi. After the art deco blue/red/white 30s/40s, Studebakers all seemed to be "lima bean green" with 2/60FB air conditioning. 2-windows-down, 60 mph with the air blowing through the rusted out floor boards.

Wait! Saab is defunct?

You learn something new every day, don't'cha?
MHRDeadhead John 45 months ago
Almost 10 years now...since 2011. GM purchased SAAB in the '90s, and they went downhill from there. They were exemplary cars, up to that point. Owned 3 of them before the GM sale, each one was a gem.
Still made in Sweden just not exported I don't know if the name changed
They make planes too
