1950s Trivia Quiz - Are You A True Kid Of The 1950s?

Question 18 is wrong. The company that produced the Austin Seven was Austin (the clue is in the title). Austin later merged with Morris and became British Motor Corpoation. Later that became British Leyland and the Rover Group. This was later nationalised by the then Labour government who completely ruined the British car industry. The cars was known as a Minis but there was never a company called Mini. Minis were produced under various names, one of which was the Austin Seven. Morris made an identical one which was called the Morris Mini Minor. The modern day Mini company is owned by BMW.

You've got to be over 80 to 'remember' the fifties! I was born in 1951, and my earliest memories start around 1958. How would I have known anything about cars, tv? We had neither. Give us a break!

90/100. Pretty good for a kid born in the mid 50's.

76 with a few lucky/educated guesses. Great quiz.

Not bad, for a kid born in 1950, no tv until I was about 8 .

Ultrasound in 1956, I don't think so?

Well, I passed the test just because there were enough questions that a kid in elementary school would remember. But who married Elizabeth Taylor in 1950? Sorry, I hadn’t learned how to read yet. But I picked Hilton anyway, since I recognized the name and I think he married a bunch, just as Taylor did. Oh, cars didn’t have retractable seatbelts in the 1950s. They came later. My Aunt replaced her late-model Ford Fairlane that was demolished by a drunk driver in 1959 with a boxy Nash Rambler. It was the only one that had seatbelts as standard. The Ford and the others didn’t. My 1972 Ford Gran Torino had government-mandatory seatbelts. The car wouldn’t start until the driver buckles up, and a buzzer sounded until a front-seat passenger did, too. That was finally declared un-Constitutional.

Challenging for me a Canadian. We don't study American civics but then you don't study Canadian politics. I think I got about 75 right. TY.

66/100. As an European I can't do better.

Elvis "officially" debuted on TV on "STAGE SHOW" hosted by the Dorsey brothers, NOT on Sullivan's show. His appearence on that show was after Stage Show.
