The game's question
Read at your own pace—the car itself brings the answer, and guessing is fine.
In 1957, one car seemed to sum up the whole decade: the Chevrolet Bel Air. Picture it in a driveway on a Saturday morning, a bucket of soapy water beside it, the neighbors slowing down to look. Seen from behind, it had something that made it look ready for takeoff. What made the back of the 1957 Bel Air so easy to spot?
- Wooden side panels
- Tail fins
- A spare tire on the roof
Need a hint?
A fish has them, and so does an airplane: they stick up at the back. What car did your family drive, and where did it take you?

Answer: Tail fins—the 1957 Bel Air, the car that stood for the 1950s.
Why this game : The family car stands for outings and vacations. A question you can guess at is fun—and it leads to road stories, from packing up to arriving.
