Early 911 next to the tri-5 Chevy. and looks like a Subaru behind it. up front, nice looking Dodge PU. Grill makes me think of the TV show Emergency. VW 411 in the fast lane, in front of a white Nova.

1969 Pontiac Bonneville.

Yup a 1960 Cadillac ElDorado Biarritz one of the iconic designs of the era. IIRC '0 was the last rear for the wraparound front glass

fintail

Can't recall if I have posted this - opening day of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, August 28 1963 (zooms well):

stickguy

some BMC product in front of the bus. Austin Marina? something like that. Bus is a GMC.

tmart

Two 57 Fords and two VW’s. I think a 61 Ford and possibly a 62 Ford.

stickguy

1 VW, the darker one with the louvers is something else. I used to know but can't recall. A renault maybe?

Yep, a 4CV

Looks like an MG1100., based on the BMC ADO16 platform,

Several cars up in the left lane heading away, I see a white 57 Ford with a continental kit - something seen much more now than back in the day.

Lostwrench3

Anyone else working on this one?
I'm about to give up.

ab348

Looks like a '55 Plymouth.

imidazol97

1955 Plymouth 6-cylinder with auto transmission--Powerflight logo on right of trunk.
If it had a V8, the center logo on the trunk would a large "V" with and "8" in the middle.

fintail

LA apparently, no earlier than 1980, zooms fine:

stickguy

C2 Vette is easy. I know the gills date it, so maybe a '65? Datsun L'll Hustler next to the Rabbit, and I think the Wagon is a Mazda. 3 back from the Rabbit is a nice looking Capri. Not a great view but I think a Capri II.

kyfdx

Behind the Capri appears to be a late '70s BMW 7-series

fintail

i think behind the Capri (I agree, a II) is an E12 5er.

Driving a way are a pair of similar E70 Corollas, which were new for 1980.

texases

Yes, an E12, the car I’ve liked ever since it came out, especially the 528i.

ab348

Early ‘60s, location unknown but obviously in a part of the USA that gets snow. Having snow-covered cars makes IDing them a bit more challenging.

Vette driver blowing the red light.

imidazol97

Great! 1960 Ford, 1958 Ford wagon, 1960 Ford, 1960? Mercury Comet heading away from the camera.
2 1960 Fords in one picture!!!

explorerx4

Winter picture, just past the Pontiac, good luck turning left out of the station, a 60 Ford, 58 Ford wagon, 60 Ford, 60 Comet. In the right lane, a 59 Mercury and couple cars ahead of that, a 61 Ford.

xwesx

Obvously no way to tell, but, at first glance, the winter photo makes me think of Erie, PA.

ab348

That ‘60 Olds trying to pull out of the Esso station is tarted up like it just left a modern-day antique car show with the obligatory skirts and some J C Whitney wheel covers.

imidazol97

1960 Mercury in front of the 1960 Comet.

imidazol97

1955 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer behind the closest 1960 Ford with the weight in the trunk for traction.

. I believe it's a Lancer because it has the chrome shark fin on its rear fender.

imidazol97

This picture is making me cold. I have to go put on a flannel shirt to get warm again.

fintail

Looks like Spokane weather earlier today. Both 60 Fords could be Fairlanes.

Maybe at far right behind the skirted Olds, the front of a 62 Chevy?

Nashville, TN.

bhill2

62 Chevy is the only car I see later than a 61. Makes me think it is from late 61 or early 62.

Lostwrench3

December 24, 1962. Nashville's first White Christmas since 1935.

Any ideas?

I was there! But, no memory of it. (4 yrs old)

Seattle, apparently during the World's Fair. Angle is a little high but still plenty to spot, zooms well:

xwesx

Yeah, that high angle is weird. They missed half the parking lot!

I see a '60 Buick near the lower right. I am curious about the red car with the white top in the lower bottom center of the pic.

I want to know what is in that rack on the top!

explorerx4

I see a blue Edsel just past the white and red/orange 2 tone Oldsmobile.

Lostwrench3

Firewood (?) on top of a '53 or '54 Buick.
'49, '50, or '51 DeSoto.

I think it's a Buick ca. 1953-4. The roof looks odd bec ause there's a load rack covering the front section.

imidazol97

I'm stuck on the blue green car next to red white Buick.
Studebaker?

Yes, a '50 Champion fits the bill:

fintail

I believe I see a 60 Ford Galaxie 4 door post, 2nd car in at left, in front of a ~50 Mopar sedan - maybe in the white or powder blue that seem so common for 60 Fords.

ab348

Interesting shot of a Chevy dealer used car lot, maybe late '50s/early '60s. Zooms a bit:

explorerx4

Only driven by an old lady to church on Sunday.

1958 Buick next the car on a pedestal on the corner.

C1 corvette next to a 58 Chevy up front.
