Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

Answer: Chevrolet Corvette

Launched in 1953, the Chevrolet Corvette displayed its iconic badge from day one, having been crafted by the hands of Robert Bartholomew, an interior designer at General Motors. However, the checkered flag switched position with the red flag in 1984, assuming the form in use today.

2. A male mountain sheep is depicted in this logo. With solid, huge and strong horns, it fits the grill of a brand of American pickup truck. What truck is that?

Answer: Dodge Ram

The ram is the male mountain sheep represented on Dodge's Ram model. It was chosen as a hood ornament by Dodge in 1932, when sculptor Avard T. Fairbanks convinced Walter P. Chrysler that rams are "master of the trail and not afraid of even the wildest of animals", making them the perfect symbol for a cheap but mighty and durable automobile.

It was a natural step to name a huge pickup truck after it.

Answer: Plymouth Road Runner

At the time, Plymouth paid US$50,000.00 dollars for the right to use the Warner Bros figure known as Road Runner on their new muscle car. The characteristic sound of the character, his "beep beep", was also adopted and mimicked by the car's horn system.

The car itself was a prestigious performance automobile, covering a quarter of a mile in under 14 seconds and costing less than US$3,000.00 in 1968 currency.

Do not confuse the GTX and the Road Runner: the second was more powerful and lighter than the first, making it a fully performance-oriented automobile.

Answer: AC Cobra

Despite not carrying the Shelby's name, which is automatically associated with the snake logo, the AC Cobra was the first of its lineage to adopt the snake as a symbol. Carroll Shelby managed to keep the logo for his company his entire life, with some claiming he took the idea of "Cobra" from Crosley.

5. One of the most controversial badges to ever be attached to a car, this logo was represented by a black tortoise in the middle of a round shape. What car used this badge?

Answer: Gordon-Keeble Gordon GT

In the Gordon-Keeble debut at car show, a pet tortoise appeared in one of the photos taken on the event, next to the Gordon GT model. Amazed by the irony, since the company was focused on the sports car scenario, the British automaker rapidly associated the uncommon animal to their logo, just for the sake of, you know, British sense of humor.

6. A sort of feline, the Jaguar, was the chosen animal by Sir William Lyons to represent his car marque in 1935. What was the first car to sport the new badge?

Answer: Jaguar SS 100

The Jaguar logo was created in 1935 and was first seen on a model called S.S. 100 Jaguar. The stylized wild cat symbol, known as 'Jaguar', looks like it is pouncing over the company's name, representing power, precision and presence.
After the events of the 2nd World War, the former SS name was officially dropped, in order to avoid any false reference with the Schutz Staffel, when finally Jaguar beca.

Answer: Abarth

The red and yellow colors used in the Abarth's shield represents the racing world, along with the red, white and green color from the Italian flag. The scorpion contained on the company's logo represents the astrological sign of its founder, Karl Alberto Abarth. He was born on November 15th of 1908.

8. Four rings, each one representing one of the manufacturers that merged to compose this German car maker. What company is this?

Answer: Audi

Audi originated from the merge of four companies, in 1932: Horch, Wanderer, DKW and Audi. Formerly known as Auto Union, the Audi name was adopted as the official name later.

Answer: Anadol

The logo of Anadol Company depicts a Hittite deer figure from Bronze Age Anatolia, representing an ancient population that lived in an area now occupied by Syria.

Answer: Citro�n

Andr�-Gustave Citro�n, founder of Citro�n, first saw the double chevron pattern on a mill's cog in Poland. He rapidly bought the patent for these double-helical gears, intending to use them on his gearboxes. He also used the symbol as his company's marque since 1904.
