Is this a 66 Chrysler 300 coupe? The other car in the foreground is a 67(?) Ford I think I see a 60 Ford behind the Karmen Ghia
They're everywhere! It's like a Where's Waldo game.
I love '65 Chryslers for some strange reason. Never had one in the family, seldom see them restored now, but they just really appeal to me, especially the 2-doors.

They were good looking cars and I liked the clear tail light treatment (Chrysler) and glass covers on the headlights of those models and Imperials. I understand there was a running change during the production year where standard red tail light lenses replaced the clear (Chrysler) and glass covers on the Chrysler and Imperial.

2x 60 Fords - wagon behind the Karmann Ghia at right, lowline sedan at left, to the left of a 60 Impala 4 door HT. Nice Malibu SS (I assume, by the hubcaps) in front of the 60 Ford sedan.
Just "above" the 60 Ford wagon, in front of what looks like a 41-48 (not sure there are real differences from this angle) Chevy coupe with faded paint, I think a TR-3. At far left upper middle, I see a white Falcon, by the other cars likely a 60.
I see a 56 Lincoln in the right corner just above that - able the corner 56 Ford, and indeed adjacent to a 56 Belair 4-door. - just above that is a Rambler wagon
I guess I'll pick off the big Matador coupe behind the Fiat, and the Hornet coupe across the street from it. As ab mentions, maybe a nearby dealer, or maybe even local proximity to Kenosha. I also see an apparently blue clamshell wagon at far left.
That compact black sedan over the road looks like a 63 or maybe 64 Chevy II but I think the continuous coachline on the sides and the chrome strip on the rear might make it a Nova

I think it might be a Nova, based on the emblem on the front fender just ahead of the driver’s door.
The oldest car I see is a ‘61 Chevy on the far left, just beyond the Cadillac.
I found the Drake Hotel in the background interesting. Looks like they were cleaning decades of soot and smoke residue off the stonework but hadn't quite finished, so the section closest to the camera was absolutely black while much of the remainder looked very different.
Right church, wrong pew there, Imid. I did the same streetview thing earlier and made the same mistake you did. The one you pictured is the Knickerbocker Hotel, across the street. Here's the current-day Drake.

LOL. I was interested if the fake balconies were still on the building. I see that they are but the windows probably don't open out for people to go outside on them. One of our used to be favorite motels in Pigeon Forge/Sevierville had balconies on some of the rooms.
FIAT. 128? I always get fuzzy on the numbers on the old ones. Unless of course it is one of the many faux-FIATs.
It's a Fiat 124 Sedan which was the basis for the 124 Sports Coupe and the sublime Sports Spider . It was the last of the RWD Italian mass market sedans and thanks to Fiat's numerous license-production deals in eastern Europe and Latin America may be the most numeroussingle production car in history.
Z34. The normal fancy Lumina was "Euro" ("Eurosport" was for the Celebrity). My brother had a 93 Lumina Euro, 3.1 (I think), raspy exhaust as was the GM style of the time, wheels similar to that red coupe - he actually liked it. I forget what happened to it.

I haven't bothered to look up numbers, but I think it would be difficult to beat the VW Beetle or the Model T.

I haven't either but few cars can match the number of production sources and variants of the Fiat 124 series. License built versions were built in Spain, India, Bulgaria and Egypt, Turkey, Russia(Lada), and Korea.
I think one needs to differentiate between the best-selling nameplate and the best selling design. Cars like the Beetle, Model T and Lada carried on largely as they started out with improvements along the way, while ones like the Corolla, F-150, etc are totally redesigned every few years.
I found a few pics from Anchorage, AK, taken in 1960. The first in the series shows the car of what must be a very hardy soul driving it during winter in that climate. Blows up nicely.
