    67 Thunderbird. I thought they were good looking. For some reason the suicide 4dr has a certain appeal.

    White sportscar at back left is definitely an E-Type.

    60 Ford gives me a Fairlane vibe. Not sure what the late model coupe at lower left is, gives me maybe a Mopar vibe

    To the left and a little higher than the Jag , I'm pretty sure is a light colored Shelby convertible.

    white car beyond the Jag looked like a 67 Camaro to me.

    @stickguy,
    Camaro is a good choice. Pretty fuzzy on my monitor when magnified.

    about fifteen years ago there used to be a Mitsuoka Viewt parked a few streets from here, - I took a picture one morning on my way to work

    was it a zoning or planning requirement in the US to have a 60 Ford in every parking lot ?
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,233
    Alternatively were 60 Fords the car of choice for local photographers?

    Nice looking car.

    I had one of those Alliance convertibles. That is either an 85 or 86, 87 they did some cosmetic changes and introduced the GTA model with the 2.0L. Mine was an 85 DL 5 sp with the 1.7L. Typically french soft suspension and comfortable front seats.

    Not very many of those cars would be rushing anywhere.

    Low Left - 1949 Pontiac behind a 1949 to 1952 Pontiac.
    Over on the right - a 1953 Pontiac next to a 1949 Buick.

    1940 Dodge I think.

    I think I see a foreign car in the mid 50s LA pic, far right lane, 2nd car up from right, maybe an earlier Hillman Minx or something.
  • Lostwrench3Lostwrench3 Member Posts: 825
    Bingo! Yes, a 1940 Dodge.

    This was a fun car, though hardly quick.

    I wondered what that little convertible was. Thanks for the answer.

    Yup, a 1953 Cunningham C3 w Vignale coachwork. Most were powered by Caddy or Chrysler V8s. Cunningham sold enough to qualify for entry in the LeMans 24 hrs.

    I think that imported car heading away on the right is a Hillman Minx - and earlier than a 55 model.

    There is a light coloured 54 Chevrolet approaching behind the nearest Metropolitan. What is the really old car behind it?



    I do appreciate it's pre war but just curious.

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,670

    The Chevy is a '55 (wrap around glass). The old (early 30s) coupe behind it could be a Ford.

    the greenhouse and backend of that chevy look wrong for a 55. might be the picture distorted.

    With the windshield shape and the little side lights I get a 33-34 Ford vibe.
