Courtesy of Shorpy.com, here is a shopping center parking lot in Chevy Chase, MD circa 1959. A surprising number of plebian vehicles considering it is a Lord & Taylor store. Sadly, just a few months too early for any 1960 Fords! Expands to enormous size.

By the quality of the parking efforts there, it could very well be Fairbanks, Alaska!

For andy's SF pic, older car in motion heading left appears to be a 39-40 GM sedan, white older car parked at curb behind it looks like a just-prewar Mopar sedan.

You'd be surprised how many well-off people actually drove plebian cars. My Grandpop, who could've easily afforded a Cadillac, always drove plain-jane Chevrolets when he was younger. I remember a black 1964 Biscayne and a gold 1967 Bel Air. His last car was pretty nice - a 1989 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Brougham.
I had a 1962 Fairlane 500 2 door. It was a wreck. Literally. It had been hit in the rear, and a local body shop was rebuilding it. Dad saw it and decided it would replace my 1957 Ford. He asked what color I wanted and I chose red. It was white with a red interior originally.
Just a few years before my time. Color appears close to mine, maybe a shade lighter. That one appears to be a 4cyl car. Maybe a little exotic in central GA in 1962, but no doubt Atlanta had at least one dealer then, and possibly Macon, too.

A while back I posted a picture and we had a look at an invalid carriage briefly
I've just come across this picture with no idea who organised the event but it depicts a group of these - a couple of different versions too - apparently in some sort of race at Crystal Palace in south London. The plates would indicate 1966 as the year
There were car racing events in the grounds in the 60s but the local authority stopped it later although they have had a couple of hill climb trials in the park back in the late 90's and a few car shows too - those will have stopped now as the political climate in London is not in favour of car events..
No - the Reliant Robin - for all its faults - was capable of use as a basic car within reason, whereas these were single seater disabled tricycles and really weren't anything more than minimal transport for the disabled.
Graham Hill tried one once when he was recovering from a racing accident and said after one lap of some circuit that it was the scariest thing he had ever driven - having said that, I would imagine he was driving it a bit more rapidly than the intended end users.
Nope not a Bristol although some had Bristol engines while others used Ford Zephyr or AC engines. Theis car was a for-seat bersion of the Ace but used a different name,

Toyota used to make cool stuff. I know it’s an old joke but so many people thought it was a “Mister 2”
