    On a slow day you could have a drag race between the Citroen and the Isetta. It would have to be a very slow day, however.

    Luckily for those with sensitive stomachs, the front end of the Plymouth isn't in the frame.

    That is quite possibly the ugliest front end ever put on an y car! MoPar styling went from the best in '58-'59 to the worst in '60-'61. The pressures of annual styling changes led to some strange looks.

    I thought I read somewhere that Judge Reinhold bought that car after filming was completed.

    -Enlargeable-



    Lots of iron visible in this one. I'll call out the white Jaguar coupe to the left bottom.
    Consensus at The Old Motor.com is that it's likely an XK-120 FHC.

    I think that's right. in front of it is a Mercury with those "flatiron" tailight housings ((1952/3?)

    To the right of the Jag is a Pontiac, possibly a '53 but also could be a '54/'55'/'56.

    Directly to the right of the Caddy, in the parking lot, is a mint green two-door sedan (next to an older Buick) that looks to me like a 59 Plymouth. the rear end is hidden so I can't be sure. I too see no newer cars.

    Ferrari 365GTB Daytona. A 70?

    Wonder if that one has a rear view mirror?

    That's a Eurospec early Daytona with the perspex headlight covers. Later ones and all USDM versions had popup headlights. The Borrani knock-off wire wheels were unusual too. Most had the 5-spoke alloys.

    Daimler?
    It's the Daimler clone of the Jag Mk.2 sedan. Body and interiors were identical except for the fluting on the Daimler grille surround and the flying "D" in place of the leaping cat.
    Instead of the XK six the Daimler version used the same Daimler 2.5 litre V8 used in their SP-250 Sport.

    I'm not sure if any Daimler V8-250 Sedans were ever sold in the US. Daimler was a prestige name in the UK
    as it was once used by the Royal family.

    F registration suffix on the Daimler is for the second half of 1967 onward, assuming it has that plate from new, it is a final run car.

    Looks GM-ish, not so much Ford or Mopar
  • tmarttmart Member Posts: 2,402

    The blue one reminds me of a 52-54 Ford. The white flat top is definitely GM.

    Not with that reverse-slant A-pillar.

    I am still stumped on that. The shape of the vent window is unusual.

    I'm putting my bet down on a 59 Chevy. From the single side spear it's either a Biscayne (sedan) or a Brookwood (wagon). Even then it seems to be missing the door part of the spear.

    BRAVO! bhill, BRAVO!
    Yes, and the close proximity of the key hole to the door handle is the clincher.

    Sorry - I've been missing from this site for ages.

    This one is somewhere Italy but I have no idea where or when it was taken - I just thought the two cars depicted would be of interest...

    ps - neither of them is a Fiat

    I think the SR code on both plates is Syracuse in Sicily
