Can you name all these funky, groovy cars from the 1970s?

Let's see how well you know these AMCs, VWs and Chevys.

 

Say one thing about cars in the 1970s — they certainly looked more unique. From bubbly hatchbacks to boat-sized sedans, the decades offered a gas-guzzler for everyone. If you learned how to parallel park with a 1977 Oldsmobile, well, we tip our hat to you.

Even if you weren't driving one of these, you have probably come across them numerous times in movies and television. 

Think you can name these iconic automobiles of the Seventies? Put the pedal to the metal…

9 of 11. Oddly, it was 9 and 11 I missed. Eleven was a guess. After I saw the answer for number 9, I suddenly remembered it. What I imagine confused me was all the parodies of the Ricardo Montalbàn spots. One I remember is "The Chrysler New Yorker! And it speaks to you like a true New Yorker! 'Are you gonna lock the doors or are you gonna hang a sign in the window sayin' Hey! Come rip me off!'"

They don't make 'em like they used to. You can find loads of cool 1970s cars in Adam-12 — like this one
I watch alot of the one hour 70s detective shows just to see the background cars. ( Rockford Files, Canon, Columbo, Mannix)

#3 was a trick question. Not fair. I even owned a 1976 T/A.

Back then, cars all had unique designs and their own identities. Today, all the cars look the same. Little hatchback eggs. I can't tell a Honda from an Acura, a Nissan from a Toyota, a Volvo from a Ford!

It's also funny how all the cars are from one make or at least company (Chrysler/Plymouth/Dodge) and then you would see a credit like, automobiles furnished by The Chrysler Corporation. #productplacement
