Yes it is indeed a SImca 1000 like the one in your picture - it struck me as an unusual car to see in what looks like small town in Minnesota
Actually your picture is a Spanish licence built example - Spanish sales of imported cars were subject to tariffs until Spain joined the EEC /EU in the eighties so Simcas were assembled in Spain with some local content and marketed by a firm which called itself Simca- Barreiros - that is the badge to the left.
They made millions of mk 1 Ford Cortinas and nearly all of them have disappeared except the sporty ones including that Lotus Cortina (incidentally on Dutch plates)

and what the heck is that double decker monstrosity? Looks like a giant duck boat.

The Ford Popular is actually even more ancient - its the immediate post war Anglia E04A which was phased out in 1948
Any ideas on the grey and white sedan?
The GAZ Pobeida is great - sedan meets monster truck
In the background the blue car pointing at the camera near the rear wall is Moskvitch - either a 403 or 407 and there is a Lada RIva in the top right corner
The black taxi with the red roof is a SImca Ariane - there is a similar blue taxi on the left too - these were the SImca Vedette / Verasailles body with the much smaller Aronde 1300cc engine as they were cheap to run and tax - popular with cabbies
There is a two tone Simca Vedette Chambord or a similar variant with the old Ford V8 engine

Also, this:
Good to see two of the locals are in front of an Austin Cambridge
Not quite as rare as a Hudson Italia !
a 1959 Mercury and a 1955 Imperial.

What is that?

I found the full front view off-putting. But then I saw the rear. Wow.
But a Detroit automaker competing in Europe?

sent a 1954 Hudson to the Italian company for the 1957 Hudson prototype styling. This is the singular result that only was saved by chance.

Clicking on small pictures at bottom of that linked page with both the Italia and the Hornet Italia prototype shows how the concept was applied to the larger car.
And the resulting 1957 Hudson.

Would be shot of the Minis be from Longbridge (Austin) or Cowley (Morris)? I'm guessing the former.
