Test Your Gearhead Level – Can You Identify this Classic Muscle Car from the Preview Image taken from a Design Patent?
No worries if you couldn’t identify this classic muscle car from the preview image taken from the associated design patent, I tried to make it relatively difficult. If you were able to identify the car from the preview image then you, my friend, are an EatMyRubber level 10 gearhead.
No luck? Does this hint do it for you? If so, you are an EatMyRubber level 8 gearhead.

Still, can’t get it. Try the next hint. If it now clicks, you are an EatMyRubber level 6 gearhead.

Still, can’t get it. Try the next hint. Now if you can identify the muscle car then you are an EatMyRubber level 4 gearhead.

I suspect most readers have identified this classic muscle car by now, if not see if this next hint does it for you. If so, your game is weak and you are an EatMyRubber level 2 gearhead.
OK, one last hint before the big reveal, and this one should be a give-away and therefore only earns you an EatMyRubber level 1 gearhead designation.
… and now the big reveal…
Here are some interesting articles on the history (1, 2, 3, 4, and 5). If you are a hardcore Corvette fan then the book “Corvette: Seven Generations of American High Performance” is required reading.
I hope you enjoyed this style of post, if so please leave a comment and I will make it a regular feature.
