Funny, neither can I unless I read the label. I can tell the LBCs that died by or before 1981 and the mostly pre 1975ish race cars because I lived in a very car conscious social group growing up and as an early adult. But these cars are frozen in time so once I learned the taxonomy I had it down. It seems like in the late 1970's and 80's styles got really boring. How could one get excited by a Mustang II? Ever since then I pretty much lost interest in cars newer than the ones I learned in younger days. Since then there are very few cars I've paid attention to. I sure wouldn't kick a DB7 out of my garage but I might the newer DBs built by Jag.

I have my 1961 TR3 & my 1960 Land Rover Dormobile. I have an interest in a Morris Traveller or a MGA fixed head coupe plus a few others that I could never afford. It seems enough for me. The newer cars somehow just are short lived nannymobiiles that nanny the occupants and separate them from the classic motoring experience.

So yes, one more woman who can bot tell a camry from a cadillac and isn't interested enough to learn.
