Another one coming up in a bit.

The VW type 4 was a 411 here
To the left of shot is a 63 Chevrolet (Bel Air or Biscayne?) but beyond that is a Vauxhall HB - we called it the Viva but I think you had it as the Epic
Same here. I remember going on a test drive of one with dad around 1970. Within the first block, he hated it.
Depends on what dealer group sold it. Chevy dealers had them branded as Envoy Epics, while Pontiac dealers had them as Vauxhall Vivas.

I assume the rare car is a Canadian spec Firenza, I don't believe those were ever offered in Murka.

Maybe a few to ID here, and interesting because of the bridge. This is the old Lake Washington/I90 bridge - weird design that apparently led to many crashes, and I believe this weird bulge part was removed before the bridge eventually failed:

Seems crazy to me that a line of cars was imported for a small market while not being offered in a market 10x the size right next door, at least the UK import attempts a decade or two earlier had at least some US distribution. Some high level GM suit's pet project, perhaps.

When I was a youngster, the mother of a best friend had a Cavalier in that style, a white "Type 10", with a sunroof, which at the time seemed cool.
Why I remember stuff like this is beyond me.

Depends on what dealer group sold it. Chevy dealers had them branded as Envoy Epics, while Pontiac dealers had them as Vauxhall Vivas.
THe 411 was never a big seller here - nor the subsequent 412.
My mum had a 1968 Viva HB SL 2-door which was still around when started driving but the chap who bought it had a bad crash in it when some wild horses got onto the main road and he wrote it off - as well as at least one horse...
Oh - and I note that wasn't an Imperial - it really looked large enough though!
Well spotted on the Mk 2 Cortina, Fin...
Sorry - I wasn't online yesterday. interesting article on the Viva / Epic / Firenza saga....
I didn't realise the HC Viva was sold under the Firenza name with you. We got the HC as a Viva when in two or four door saloon spec, and the two door coupe as a Firenza a little later. After a while they put in larger engines (the original HC Viva had the same 1159cc engine of the HB just like my mum's old car) but eventually they changed the range to a Viva E with economy small engine and the Magnum 2 or 4 door saloon or the Firenza coupe - with 1800 or 2300 engines same as those in the FE Victor range.
The FC Viva was not as big a success as the FB had been here because it was getting out of date by then and was replaced with the then new Vauxhall Chevette really - I had one of those - a 2 door saloon with an 1159 engine - for a while too...
Whilst never as popular as it's main rivals - the ADO 16 from BL and especially the mk 1 & Mk 2 Escort - the Viva was steady seller and it was the rust in the sills that tended to finish them off - they were basically sound enough although tinny.....
My mum's HB 2-door had a problem common to all the HB's that if you left the boot unlocked and drove over a pothole or a bump in the road the boot lid would fly open - you had to keep it locked all the time to prevent that - it was the rear panel that flexed I think not the lid itself... It was pretty flimsy but handled quite well and had a good clutch and gearbox. I drove an HC quite a lot around htetime I was learning to drive too - that was a driving school car so the clutch was slipping a bit but otherwise no worse than average.
My chevette also had a boot lid that you had to lock although living in London by then I always did anyway so it was rare for it to pop open.
Also in the shot with the Viva / Firenza in the foreground - is that about a 65 Rambler American between the Datsun and the VW 3 / 4 -just right of the lady in the white top?
That shot with the bridge - is that parking area in the middle with the Ford?
I can see a pink and white 56 Studebaker President Classic - and a blue Mopar ahead in light blue which must be about the same age.
I thought at first the grey car would be a Peugeot 403 but not sure now as I think it's equally likely to be an Alfa 1900.
The green and white car is a Chevrolet - perhaps a 210 ?
I can see an older GM fastback - it's sort of beige in colour - but what is the really old black car ahead of that blue Mopar?

Yes, I was waiting for someone to notice that. Could be a '64 as well, and even more remarkably, if you look closely you can see that it is a wagon model, which must have been pretty scarce even when new. I didn't remember AMC making a wagon version of the American, but they did, for a while.
My Vauxhall Chevette was replacing a Mini 1000 which had hit a Land Rover (an Army one) and in fairness it was also much newer. I was happy with it for a time although the engine went eventually after a long run from northern England back to London on a hot day...
The Mini went for a while after the Land Rover incident (quite a dent too) but had to go eventually.. Handled well though - never drove a car better on corners than any classic Mini until the recent generation Ford Fiestas.
I hadn't spotted that rambler was a wagon but I can see it must be, now...
Fintail in Toronto is a W111.

Guy on the fence is Bruce Lee, who spent time in Seattle when he was young and attended UW.
Cutlass and fintail could only be topped off by a 60 Ford in the same shot, but I bet in that climate, most 60 Fords/Meteors were already off the road or close to it.
