    Car to the R of the Vega looks Japanese, maybe a Colt or something

    I think the white car next to the Celica is a Olds Omega.
    A couple of more cars on the tour.

    Those Mk1 Escorts are quite collectible and valuable today

    Is that a Doge Magnum next to a Vega wagon?

    I believe it is or maybe a Charger?
    And that is an Old Omega next to the Celica. Also a Nova left of the Granada

    I see a 66 Chevy.
    I think the only non GM car I see is a 60 Mercury.

    You may be right. On the far side of the block, facing the other way behind the Caddy may be another Mercury.

    @fintail yes, but somehow they survived with RWD and probably drum brakes.

    I thought about that when I visited Lake George. Has always been an upstate NY vacation destination and definitely a little time warpy, 50s vibe. Some little twisty roads around the lake yet people have been going there since the 40s

    I was thinking the impending rust, which on some cars might have been audible by this time.

    The wagon at right first made me think AMC, but now an OIdsmobuick perhaps.

    Next to the '57 Ford wagon in center is the roofline of a first gen Valiant or Lancer.

    Top row, next to the 55 Bel-Air hardtop, what is that gray sedan? I can't quite get it.

    Looks like a 52/54 body style of a Ford but the taillights say Mercury.

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,522
    Kind of a neat 58 Ford 4 door HT there.

    Something here is unlike the others, zooms ok:


  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,539
    looks like a Fiat 124 but too early for that. Seems a little simple for a Ferrari, but is it one of those?

    Looks like Coney Island.

    I’m thinking Alfa Giulia or Giulietta, never can keep them straight.

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,673
    It's an Alfa Giulietta Spider ca. late 50s.

    Rover. 3500 based on the badge! Oddly appears to be a LHD

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,522
    Rover has a Dutch plate which would match LHD. These were also sold in the USDM for a brief moment, not sure if the sidemarker is a US thing or something else.

    Yup, the Rover 3500 was powered by a license built version of the aluminum Buick V8. It enjoyed some popularity in the US during the late 60s.

    GM actually sold the tooling and the rights to Rover so there was no licensing agreement other than that. Rover and its successors used it in everything. GM should have kept it and sold Rover the Buick V-6. :p

    Don’t know what it is but must have amazing visibility all around. Don't get that today!

    In 1950s/'60s movies you could see these driving in circles in Rome around the Piazza Venezia. It's a Lancia Appia in the factory-produced Berlina (sedan) body style. Coachbuilders produced coupes and convertible models. No center B-post in the sedan - that must have been fun.

    You're right on AB348. The Appias were powered by RWD V4.

    Yep that's the latest and probably last Buck convertible, the Buick Cascada sold from 2016-2020. I'm not onefor land yachts but I was fond of the Buick 'verts of the late 50s-60s.

    I saw a Cascada today today.

    Correct make/model, wanna try for model year?

    That's a 1963 model. They cleaned up Exner's exterior styling a bit for '63 but still had largely the same interior/dash, which didn't get changed until the next year.

    Has a 426 dual-quad. And was probably born with a 318. This one has been worked on quite a bit. I prefer restored-to-original cars.
