Do you know Bacon’s Law? Otherwise known as Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, this game involves choosing an actor that eventually, in six steps, will lead to a connection with Kevin Bacon. So why not a similar game with cars?
Presented for you here are several vehicles from AutoHunter and ClassicCars.com. Starting with the red car, work clockwise through the black car. There is an ordered connection among them all, but what is it? Explain your answer in the comments section below. We’ll post the answer there in several days.
Start at the top left and work clockwise. Click on each image to reveal each car.

Corvair/Falcon compact cars announced in 1960
Camaro/Mustang Pony cars announced in 1964.5 & 1967
There is a sequential connection among them all. You have connected two and two, but think of how there may be a progression from beginning to end.
Corvair was the competition for the falcon, which was the predecessor to the mustang, which met later competition from the camaro. These are fun, keep ‘em coming.
The Corvair began in 1960 led to the Falcon Futura in 1961, then the Mustang in 1964 , and the Camaro in 1967. It is the evolution of the pony car.
You’re not spot-on, but close close close!
The Mustang was built on the Falcon platform. Chevrolet built a sporty model of Corvairs named the Corsa. When they introduced the Camaro, it spelled doom for the Corvair.
No, I believe the Corvair was doomed by Ralph Nader. Other than the Corvair all these vehicles were products of the existing parts bins. Getting these projects to an assemble line was a lot more about individual Heart and Sole of visionaries than corporate workmanship. The Corvair and Falcon were interductions of the compact car. The Camaro and Mustang were part bin vehicles
Here’s the answer. Only one person got it–not 100%, but very very close.
The 1960 Corvair Monza was the first of the sporty compacts, complete with bucket seats. Ford followed this up with the 1961 Falcon Futura, which in some ways was the prototype for the Mustang, a new class of car we call the pony car. The Camaro was Chevrolet’s answer to that.
