1972 - Present
This game remains a classic because of its simplicity! A contestant is shown four small prices and is asked if the given price is true or false. For each prize s/he guesses correctly, s/he wins a chance to choose one of five price tags that represent the price of a car. Of course, only one tag is correct, and even if the contestant guesses all four small prizes correctly, a win isn't guaranteed! Choosing the correct price tag wins the contestant the car.
Set changes: The podiums behind the car haven't changed since 1972. The blue tags light up for each small prize (and price tag) the contestant earns. Until the mid-80's, the correct price tag was just an orange version of the blue tag, while the four incorrect ones said "NO." The winning tag is now represented by a "WIN!" with colorful firework graphics.

| This contestant guessed ALL FOUR small prizes correct! Of course, she could still lose... | Here are the five price tags from the first time the game was ever played...note that two of the tags are just $12 different. Tough! |

 |
| But this contestant nailed the price tag on the first guess! | The contestant earned a price tag by guessing that the price of this ring was false...you don't see a ring in this game too often nowadays. |

| This is never a good sign. | This sure is! This is the spiffy win graphic from a 1999 episode. |
