I assume it is early 1960s, likely Sweden or at least Scandinavia (the Domus department stores were in both Sweden and Norway). But aside from the plethora of Volvos and a few Saabs, there are a few American barges, like the Dodge and the '59 Ford. The other baffling thing is that the lady shopper walking towards the camera seems to be carrying a plastic shopping bag, which if so predates their appearance here by a decade or more. Of course, the young fellow did not want a bag for his new soccer ball.

Swedish plates (and the source of the photo IDd it as Gustavsberg Sweden )
I wonder if the Dodge is a Kingsway export model, maybe the Ford an export model too - I know the raggare in Sweden love old American cars today, apparently some did back in the day too.
Yup it's the mighty Dodge Power Wagon as produced from 1946-55. It was basically a civilian version of the WWII Dodge WC (Weapons Carrier). Later versions using the name were just tarted up versions of Dodge Ram Trucks
back in Jersey, there was a house near us that we walked by often that had one parked on the driveway. It was a fire truck version of that truck (with a brush rig on the back). Very tired looking with flat tires, and one side of the windshield with a big hole in it. But cool looking rig.
1957 Oldsmobile. As to those Dodge Power Wagons - We had one in the fleet of the electric utility company where I worked for a while. It was used to travel on the roadless high voltage lines right of ways. In its history it rolled over twice and had a dented roof. What a machine! Nothing stopped it.
The flat top Poncho in the lead looks like it might be a narrow track Cheviac like the one Adam owns.
Yes, definitely so in Canada. BTW, Dominion Stores used to be a major national grocery chain, now gone except for some reason still found in Newfoundland.
A Ford, looks like a 61, but it goes against the title of the “1950s”. Couple of Bugs.
How about a 1957 Ford Tudor sedan for the Ford. They had a straighter, shorter tailfin than the Fairlane and Fairlane 500s. The bumper guards also help verify it's a 57.
And I'll go for a Plymouth 1956 in upper right corner with its rear toward the camera (row 6?). Above it I'd guess a Volvo, 1959?

Initially I thought 57, but the top of the headlight housing on the passenger side looked too curvy for a 57, but it could be the viewing angle.
The left row looks like the '79 Dodge Challenger, the foreign rebadged ones, though they have an odd logo on the hood... so maybe not badges as Challengers? I don't recall wonderfully, as I was very young when we had those. I just remember us trying to kill ourselves with them on more than one occasion....

The first few cars on the left are Mustang's. Next row are Fairmont's. Next row Granada's. Next row Crown Vic's. And they say car lots are overflowing today. HA HA

The front clip on the early Fox Mustang is similar looking to the later Sapporo/Challenger - I like those cars.
I am thinking 1979 due to the Mustangs, and I see no Fox T-Birds - but I do see a few disco Birds, including a couple possible Diamond Jubilee or Heritage models at right, one might even have t-tops.

Maybe behind the 2nd 60 Pontiac, a 58 Olds or Buick. I think the parked Caddy is a 62.
Some bug eye sprites, an MGA, a couple of MG T series, and a random batwing Chevy.

The white one is a TR3 I think.
Center one looks like a 3. Back row a Jag sedan, corvette and Volvo PV

I think maybe a Hillman Minx convertible behind the Beetle in the foreground.

Beyond Dominion I thought this was a Rambler American, but think on expanding it a bit that it's an Austin A55 Cambridge
Secondly on the left of the 1950s Sports car event there is an Opel Rekord Caravan Wagon
