Nice one! Personally, think this one should have been featured, but then again - I got them all without research.
13 is a clue not like the others...but still cute.

[1] Me, too! And I agree.

I had to look up every single one...but this could have been featured. The clues were good and mostly I had to work with spelling issues.

I had to check a couple spellings, but generally knew them all. I'll third the notion that this would have been a good one to feature.

I agree with this being UNfeatured. Seems like you need specific knowledge or need to find a list (both of which = UN in my book). Some of the clues are just not enough to get the answers without research (3, 10, 12 for instance). Not to mention #14...what on earth is that?!
It is nice work though and definitely good enough to be published!

Very nicely clued.
For anyone wondering about #14, it was Chevy's entry into the world of sub-compact cars. One of its few redeeming features was that you could drop a big-block V8 engine into it and end up with a nifty little hot-rod. Well, with a few other modifications, but it was sweet. (No, I didn't do that, but I knew a couple guys who did in shop class.)

Nice one. I needed to find a list to get the spelling correct on a lot of them, but I only needed to look up one of them.

[9] Maybe because of the clue layout...it's top left, right, bottom left.

[5] I agree. I got about half of them without a list, and some of those I wasn't even sure of.

For the record--this is not remotely my field, and I was able to finish it with no research. I admit I don't love the clues that involve partial words (e.g. #4), but overall I thought this was clear, well-clued, and by no means obscure.
