Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. During the period 1909-1914, which of these colours could not be ordered when buying a Ford Model T?

Answer: Black

Black Model Ts were the only choice between 1915-1926 but before that - between 1909 and 1914 - black was not actually available. It is often believed that Henry Ford said "Any customer can have a car painted any colour that he wants so long as it is black", but there is no actual evidence that he really said this.

2. In which year was the Jaguar Cars Limited company founded?

Answer: 1945

The company had been known as the S.S. Cars Limited but after the War, due to the connotations from the War of the SS initials the name of the company was changed to Jaguar Cars Limited.

3. Of which car was there only ever two made?

Answer: Aston Martin DBS V8 by Ogle

Created especially to launch a new brand of cigarettes, the DBS V8 by Ogle was manufactured in 1972.

4. The Peanuts cartoon characters were first animated for an advert for which car?

Answer: Ford Fairlane

Named after Henry Ford's Fairlane estate, manufactured between 1955-1971 and replaced by the Ford Torino when production stopped, Charlie Brown and his friends appeared in an advert for the Ford Fairlaine in 1957.

5. Which sports car manufacturer was commissioned to develop the DeLorean DMC-12?

Answer: Lotus

John DeLorean originally approached Porsche to continue design and development of the DMC-12, having sidelined the original designer. Due to the four year lead time Porsche required DeLorean approached a struggling Lotus who agreed to design the car for him. Very little of the original, fairly simple design was left after Lotus became involved.

Aimed at the US car market, it had been planned for the car to be made in the US but financial incentives given by the British Government meant that the factory was located in Dunmurry, Northern Ireland. The car was a flop and the company folded in controversial circumstances.

6. Which car was the first to feature Gull Wing doors?

Answer: Mercedes 300SL Coupe

Launched in 1954, the Mercedes 300SL Coupe was originally a 2 seater closed sports car with distinctive Gull Wing doors. It was later offered as an open roadster.

7. Which car manufacturer has produced a model called the 'Bongo'?

Answer: Mazda

The Bongo,a big minivan, the Bongo Brawny, a longer version of the Bongo similar to a minibus, and the Bongo Friendee, a campervan, were all created by Mazda for the Japanese domestic market. With Ford as its parent company it is not surprising that the Bongo Friendee is exactly the same as a Ford Freda, apart from the badge.

8. How many Volkswagen Beetles were sold between 1938-2003?

Answer: 21,529,464

One of the worlds iconic vehicles with an unmistakable shape, the Volkswagen Beetle sold more vehicles than any other single car model during the period 1938-2003

9. Which car manufacturer had its test track on the roof of its factory?

Answer: Fiat

Fiat's Lingotto factory in Turin, Italy, was opened in 1923. It was a 5-storey building in which raw materials entered the building on the ground floor and came out as new cars on the roof where the company had a test track. During the time it was open 80 different models were produced. The factory became outdated in the 1970s and closed in 1982.

10. What does the initials "DB" stand for in the Aston Martin DB series of vehicles?
