I like old wagons, but that era Plymouth and Dodge always struck me as being a bit out of proportion. Chrysler Corp. did do some very nice looking wagons over the years though.
I always thought the Skyliner was kind of neat and fun, but the Sunliner had cleaner lines. IIRC the Skyliner came with a customized suitcase to fit in that little basket trunk?
Oops, I now see that the '60 Pontiac grilles were made of two pieces. Ok, I'll say that the '60 Pontiacs had no significant separation area between the two pieces of the grille.
Did anyone mention the Mercury Monterrey hardtop 1957 parked in front of the 57 Ford? And there's a car in the driveway next to it with a flair on the end of the rear body panel.
It's fuel filler time again...……… Based on the location and the significant projection, (note the long shadow), of the fuel filler pipe, a Dodge.
That's what they say at Hemmings. A poster there sez the low line Dodge trucks that era had black beds I could not find another pic of a truck so equipped but here's a look at some from the front and the filler pipe is clearly visible>

Gotta be a 58 - 60, but a Rambler for sure.

This is a heavily adapted Triumph Dolomite - the Panther Rio. I saw one at the motor show when they were announced in the 70s and I don't recall ever seeing one on the road although they made quite a few.

I knew @magnette would get it. Only 38 made according to wiki. They had announced 100 sales commitment that never came to pass. More than Jaguar money for a 2L fancy Dolomite didn’t work.
Yes - this would be the 6/90 and it is registered in Oxford City between March and May 1954 which would make sense as the Morris company - which owned Wolseley - was head-quartered in Oxford and this looks like a press or brochure shot.
Of course it is a scaled up version of the Wolseley 4/44 and MG Magnette - all designed by Gerald Palmer who had previously been responsible for the Jowett Javelin...
This is the Wolseley that appears in so many police shows in the 50s and in Miss Marple etc now.. The Met police in London did use them as patrol cars - they were big enough to carry a few bobbies and lug around the enormous radios they had to carry then.
My father had a Wolseley years later (an 18/85) and he said he had always wanted one since he was a boy because he liked the way the badge on the grille lit up with the headlights...

Summers here are the best in the country, however.
That's a pretty good guess!

The last of the Ford Skyliners. 1959.
White 60 Pontiac 2 door HT parked on the street.

If the filler is there it's a Skyliner>

You're right!! I thought it was a '59 Galaxie Sunliner (soft top) but those don't have fuel door

IIRC it had a 25 foot turning circle between kerbs which is the same as a London taxi...
