    62 Studebaker Lark. Nice looking car, IMO.

    LAX, late 1967. I'm a bit confused by this photo. It looks like a combo of a rental car holding lot on one side and and a regular parking lot on the other. Expands well.

    At the left border - 1956 Mercury.

    Black Cougar in the center. And top right behind a white mustang is a black fin tail. Maybe a stude lark behind the MB?

    2nd gen Corvair up front.

    Strong rental car vibe from the spec of those cars, yeah. My dad's 68 Fairlane had the same dog dish hubcaps as seen on the the white 67 and 68 Galaxie fastbacks. Kind of a "sleeper" look. 65 Squire in the foreground.

    Fintail appears to be a W111, maybe a 220 (not S or SE, as appears to lack fin chrome and has small taillights).

    At center left near a stop sign behind a Beetle I spot an early Datsun pickup. A few "up" from that is a then-new 2nd gen VW T2 van.

    I just noticed beside the 68 Impala coupe appears to be a white 68 Fairlane sedan. My dad's was maybe lower than rental spec - 289, but manual steering, manual brakes, 3 on the tree, nothing else really but a radio. I imagine by then rental cars would generally have automatic and power assists.

    i'm pretty sure the Caddy in lower right is the newest car but i can't tell if it's a '61 or '62. The oldest is surely the Mopar lower left (Dodge? Plymouth? DeSoto?)

    What is the light blue sedan, behind the Beetle? Looks like it could be newer than the Caddy.

    Yes, the Cadillac is a 1961.
    Low left - a 1949 Dodge.

    The blue car is a '61 Ford. The VW looks early 60s.

    The Polynesian, Seattle, must be early 60s:


  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,705
    Suicide door Continental. that must have caused a stir when it came out. and behind that, very small front corner of the ubiquitous 1960 Ford.

    I spy with my little eye a '63 entry. Who can identify it? Can anyone find anything newer?

    Renault Dauphine on University @ right. Tailgate-less ElCamino, closest to camera (62?)

    El Camino is probably at least a 64.

    Early 4 door Corvair a few blocks up turning right.

  • explorerx4explorerx4 Member Posts: 20,892
    The Chevelle, on which the El Camino in the picture is based, came out in 64.
    I think the Chevelle waiting for the pedestrians to cross is a 65.

    On the side of the Dauphine, a 1962 Ford Galaxie.

    Behind the Beetle at the front of the line, what I think is a '64 Comet wagon.

    @stickguy,
    When you click on the link of the blue car, all the info is right below the pic.

    There’s a picture. I couldn’t get that without the link showing up. So it’s on the honor system.

    I figured a way around the 'too much info' link problem. I use the Snip tool (press Windows button+shift+s), the only thing that comes across is the image.

    Bah, you're just doing it wrong... ;)



    As per the source, it's a D.B. Panhard HBR 5 Coupé - 1958, originally delivered to Venezuela.

    I posted from the iPad. That always gives me problems pulling pictures from some sources. Works better from my laptop.
