Where to Watch
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…

CAN I NAME THEM ? sure i drove 70% of them , even a remlin and pinto
You got 11 out of 11 I two dogs of the bunch, a 1972 Vega and a 1974 Gremlin. Both were a pain in the patoot.
11 out of 11! KA-BLAM!!
Got 8 out of 11. Yay!

They don't make 'em like they used to. You can find loads of cool 1970s cars in Adam-12 — like this one.

You got 11 out of 11 .............. I do like cars
it's gonna be pretty hard to stump me on '70's cars!
11 of 11. If you were a boy in the 70's, you knew your cars. :)
And especially if you were lucky to see that game show "Split Second" during days home from school or summer vacation back then (1972-1975). I was only 10 when that show premiered and was totally ticked when ABC canceled "SS" in 1975 with an idiotic soap opera.
11/11

Old ass🤣
For a "carzy" guy these were way too easy, especially if you're an Auburn fan (the school, not the car). Warrrr Damn Eagle indeed! :)
Longed for a Firebird. Made do with a Gremlin. It actually was a pretty darn good car!
Gremlins were like little tanks, an ex-girlfriend had one & she loved it!
11 of 11 , cars i know love watching adam 12 to spot all the old cars , some real nice cars spotted shelby mustangs , chargers barracudas corvettes and loadsof others
my First car was a 79 Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme
#8 was unfair. It in NO WAY looked like a TYPICAL Pinto.
Agreed! Who knew they made Pinto wagons?
Typical, no, but definitely easy to pick out as a Pinto from styling, even if you didn't know the car.
Any car dude who was plugged in in the 70s, even as pitiful as the situation was back then. -grin- The custom van craze royally sucked, IMNSHO.
My father had a 1979 Pinto Squire wagon, in a light tan (Ford called it light chamois) with the faux wood grain.
Remarkably, in 1985 it was still running, as I used it to go back to New Jersey in for my senior year of college - then a year later, back in Michigan it *finally croaked.*
I swore after that episode I would *never* drive a Ford again, *period!* (The Pinto wagon kept giving me continual problems in New Jersey while I had it.)

Got 10 out of 11...would’ve had 11 but had never saw a Vega wagon...my Dad had two Vegas and they were both hatchbacks. Great cars...and, nobody said “Cordoba” like Ricardo Montalban!
7/11; not too bad a score for someone who knows nothing about cars and had to guess on every question.
plush Corinthian leather? No such thing- it was fake, like Naugahyde! In 1975 they put a bunch of decals on the Cordoba and stuffed a 360 CID engine in it and called it a Road Runner!
They really tried to rip this one off?!
Your confused.
That's a Superbird!
I remember riding the school bus and passing the Plymouth dealership every morning. There were two of those Superbirds, one was florescent orange and the other was chartreuse green! So Cool!!

A 1970 Plymouth Road Runner Superbird 440 Super Commando Six Barrel V8,
to be exact. In pristine condition, they say. One true bad ass!
