First of all, we would like to thank all the participants in our PreWarCar.com Christmas Quiz 2021 for their enthusiasm and kind messages. Many old acquaintances took part, and there were several new names. Once again it became clear that there is a lot of knowledge in our community, and many good answers were received. However, like every year, some questions were easy and some more difficult. Day 7 with the PreWar radiators, in particular, proved to be not so easy for many people, especially the 1st and the 5th photo. There were only three participants who got full marks by recognising all the pictures in the Christmas decorations!
And now it's time to give you the answers to the questions and to announce the winners — are you one of the three who can call themselves a winner of the PreWarCar.com Christmas Quiz 2021?
