Not that this is a marketable skill in the least, but I could ID all these (in person) by touch.

In fact, I would LOVE to be put to the test, if anyone wants to set up a video.

All 1959s it looks like...

Row 1: Lincoln, Mercury, unknown, Chrysler,Studebaker Lark

Row 2: Olds, Plymouth, Chevy, Edsel

Row 3: Dodge, Ford, Cadillac, DeSoto, Buick.

RAMBLER (aka "unknown") 

 

Ahh yes- the 2 old timers got them all correct- good work.

Heh-heh...though I'm not a big 50s fan, most were recognizable...I could have gotten the Rambler through process of elimination....it was the most obscure..did it without googling photos.   The only one I had to guess at was the first, wasn't sure it was a Lincoln or a Continental....(wasn't sure the year they stopped marketing Continental as a separate division, Continental fans go apeshit on FB over people calling the '56-58 models 'Lincoln Continentals').  Then I remembered Continentals had egg crate grilles.   Too much obscure automotive trivia in my head..
