    I find it difficult to tell a '55 Cad from a '56. In any case, that one was captioned as a '56.

    Location of the parking lights is the easiest way to see if it is a '55 or '56.
    Shown is a '55.
  • tmarttmart Member Posts: 2,402
    Yeah, you can’t always count on the picture caption being correct. The blue Alfa yesterday was a 47 in one picture and a 49 in another, with the SAME LICENSE PLATE! Therefore, I didn’t list a year.

    I drove one before officially released. My neighbor worked for Subaru corporate. At the time it was like driving a spaceship.

    A Hillman, I believe, following a Vauxhall. Not sure what the Vauxhall is following.

    I believe the Vauxhall is a Canadian Envoy, based on the country tag at rear. Following a Ford, perhaps a Prefect.

    Seattle, November 28 1958, zooms quite well - lots to see here:

    some sort of English Ford at the light, behind the turning Buick and in front of the Mannings truck?

    1950 Dodge.
    1951 De Soto.
  • Lostwrench3Lostwrench3 Member Posts: 825
    And, two 1950 Buicks.
    Notice how the front "teeth" flow over and under the front bumper necessitating the license plate position to be moved to the side.

    Several 52/53 Fords, couple of 56 Fords, several 57 Fords, a 58 Ford, several 57 Chevys

    Traffic like that, no thank you. Can you imagine the exhaust fumes from those pre-emissions cars?

    If you catch that 1954 movie "The Long Long Trailer", notice how the 1953 Mercury magically changes to a 1953 Lincoln when the trailer is being pulled up a hill.

    Mk 1 VW Rabbit far right.

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,494
    That's a foreign car no doubt, I think it is an Opel Rekord. I see 3 other foreign cars: several cars behind the Opel beside a 56 Chevy, a Fiat Multipla with an apparent Hillman Minx behind that. Beside the Manning's truck looks like a Beetle.

    Only one Studebaker catches my eye, in the second "bunch", a mid 50s model changing lanes in the middle.

    Yeah, that looks like a mid-50s MoPar but the grille is different from any i can find.

    It is indeed a Vauxhall Envoy which course we didn't get here

    the car it is following is a Prefect, I think as I believe it has four doors

    Car behind the Envoy is a Hillman Minx

    That Fiat Multipla might be one of those German minibuses - like the DKW Schnellaster perhaps? - or perhaps a Goliath

    now that is one goofy looking vehicle.

    Headlights mounted in the engine bonnet? That must be fun when driving at night on a bumpy road.

    The 300B used the same grill as the Imperial from what I see. The New Yorker had a fine textured grill.
    The Windsor had a grill as seen on the pink car I posted above.

    I think in the Seattle pic I see the large grille-like hood/nose emblem of the Multipla.

    I am pretty sure the USDM actually received the Schnellaster and maybe even the Goliath, at least in tiny numbers, so they could exist in theory. We received at least a decent handful of Multiplas, I've seen a few locally.

    Well, it's an Alfa. Just not a design I have ever seen before!

    1960-ish Giulietta Sprint Coupe?
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,671
    You nailed it Tex, it's a 1960 Alfa Giulietta Sprint coupe by Bertone. Interestingly quite a few more of the coupes were made overall but as I recall the Spiders were more popular in the USA.

    Yep! Too bad Honda didn't keep after the roadster market.
