    Hey, people just need to show some initiative. Take that '59 Caddy, replace a few wear items (like the driver's door), buff it up, and you're ready to cruise.

    Ford Cortina next to the Gran Torino. I can't see clear detail of the grille or the Model script of the Grand Prix. 71-72. Is it an SJ? Full wheel covers were not common on those either though they were standard equipment.

    1st in line a 1954 Chrysler. Then, a 1954 Chrysler, then a 1954 Plymouth wagon.
    In the showroom, a 1954 Chrysler.
    (In town, regular grade gasoline has hit $4.11, how are y'all doing in that department?)

    Another view of that Chrysler dealer, a few years later:

    This dealer does not appear to have had a Stude link, they branched out into general Euro cars.

    As I recall in the late 50a Studebaker-Packard stores all became Mercedes-Benz Dealers but then they stopped making Studes and Pckards. That's a nice 300SL Roadster in the foreground wearing a detachable hardtop option. A 190SL faces the wall. It's also got a removable h/t.

    Is that an external rear view mirror mounted on the center of the front edge of the roof?

    The wedge is the Lancia Stratos Zero concept, and indeed that's a mirror:

    There were a variety of Alfa Giulia coupes that used the same Bertone styling that were produced over the decade from 1962-72. Collectively they are known as the Alfa 105 coupes. It can be hard totell which 105 variant you're looking at >

    Anglia 105E, with LHD and whitewalls, maybe for the North American market.

    Black pinto. Looks tiny between the big caddy and blue olds. Dark colored duster first car at the curb.

    Looks to be about 1970

    I was going to say 1971, given the Pinto. Though I guess it came out in the Fall of '70, maybe

    Pretty good guess bhill,; it's the XJ8's doppelganger a 1995 Daimler Six. If you look real carefully you can make out the fluted grille surround that characterized Daimlers.

    67 LTD in the foreground.

    Further back, just behind "People's Furniture", maybe a white Continental Mark IV?

    Foreign job above the Olds makes me think Peugeot 404 wagon.

    Some of those cars are probably still stuck in the traffic jam.

    Tr6 far left. Mustang grabber a bit behind that.

    And a lot of people about to seriously hate the mileage there big beasts got.

    Maverick Grabber, not a Mustang.

    Just eyeballing it I would estimate that about 2/3rds of the vehicles in the pic are full-sized Detroit iron. Big changes about to come for sure.
