There are many pre world war 2 cars that I can't identify, because I wasn't born then and was very young when those cars were daily drivers. I don't see what the big deal is when someone doesn't have any knowledge about my car. If they're interested I will carry on a conversation with them.

Ditto. I grew up wanting to someday buy a 67 or 68 Mustang fastback. 5 or 6 years ago, when I decided to do it, I couldn't have named any of those Pontiac models, either. I didn't learn about them until I decided that I wanted a "real muscle car" instead, and started researching.

I get lots of questions when I'm in my 37. I usually just tell them what it is. I didn't know anything about pre war cars before I got mine so I'm pretty understanding.
Every once in a while I have somebody try and tell me " that's not a pontiac". That is when it gets fun!

Not a big deal, just a bit silly IMO. If I don't know what a Prewar car is (I actually do know how to identify a lot of the '30s and '40s cars, but not the '00s, '10s, and '20s models), I will ask the person instead of "assuming" it is a certain car. I know some guys with prewar cars and almost all of them have someone "assume" it is a Ford if it is a smaller car, and it is a Packard if it is a bigger or more luxurious car.
