This month’s Guess the Car contest seemed simple enough but offered multiple challenges – both geographically and historically. We had a lot of entrants and many of them recognized that we were looking for a particular city. We thought the star was clear identification that the correct answer was the (Hyundai) Tucson.
Surprisingly, an even larger number of guesses were for the Phoenix, a Pontiac compact that had a seven year lifespan between 1977 and 1984. That was a very deep-track guess, since most of our players weren’t even born when that car died.
Still, we congratulate our winners of a $10 McDonalds Gift Card, randomly selected from the right answers:
• Joshua Castillo, Northern Neck Technical Center, Warsaw, VA
• James Hatch, ALA Ironwood, Queens Creek, AZ
• Hunter Strosnider, Jefferson County JVS, Bloomingdale, OH
• Andrew Berthold, Ralston High School, Ralston, NE
• Mickey Mooney, West Stanly High School, Norwood, NC
• Mark de la Vega, Lockport High School, Lockport, IL
• Colin Davenport, The Hanover Center for Trades and Technology, Mechanicsville, VA
• Dennis Theohardis, Upper Cape RTHS, Bourne, MA
• Henry O’Neill, Woonsocket Area Career & Technical Center, Woonsocket, RI
• Alex Johnson, Perry High School, Perry, OH
