Narrow like a buyer

Car shoppers narrow by type, then brand, then year. Do the same here. Lock the body style first, then the maker, and only then worry about the exact model and generation.

Before you start Mystery Car

  • Start with a common car so the clues are easy to read.
  • Body style and maker are the quickest filters.
  • Once the maker matches, run through its model line up by era.
  • Play Spec Shift to sharpen your feel for numbers like power and weight.
