Behind the Dodge probably an early 50s Chevy fastback.

Yes indeed. They called that fastback style the Fleetline as opposed to the one with a rump, which was a Styleline. Haven't a clue how they got either name.

I think it might have been model hierarchy, but I don't recall what order they were in.

Something the domestic did amusingly, devaluing model names - names like Bel Air and Galaxie were once top of the line, became base. meanwhile, the import competition kept names in their positions.

Nice Jag

Mk VIII? Could be a Mk IX, hard to tell.

It's a 1960 Jag MkIX. Not my favorite Jaguar.

It's a 59 Ford and the script says Ranch Wagon. I guess the Del Rio nmae was dropped by then.

andys120

I'm not familiar w the "DelRio" name but IIRC the two-door 1950s Ford 2DR wagons were all "Ranch Wagons". OTOH I dunno why anybody would buy a tank like that w just 2 doors.

tmart

I think the DelRio was an upgraded Ranch Wagon, but could be wrong.

To keep the kids from falling out the back doors when they become unlatched.

fintail

I think the 2 door fullsized wagon only lasted until 1961, although a little longer for Falcon.

Blue Mountain, zooms ok enough:

A ‘60 Ford approaching, a ‘62 Country Squire leaving, a ‘63 Buick behind the approaching Ford, and a true mystery car ahead of the Country Squire.

1954 Pontiac?

fintail

I see Pontiac too, with the general shape of those fins.

Meanwhile in AZ, zooms fine:

roadburner

Anglia, Valiant and Mustang- no idea of the years.

texases

'65/'66 and '68 Mustangs.

gsemike

In the distance:
Bonneville; Fury; Studebaker

Could b e a '53 Poncho. They were almost the same from the rear.

explorerx4

I thought Pontiac but didn't post because they all seem to have some chrome trim running front to back on the hood and the trunk.

Fill'er up, a little blurry but zooms enough to ID many:

White early Corolla behind the Torino.

Looks like a '70 model Pontiac, to me. My uncle had one.

stickguy

1970. A very late 1960s!

It was probably built in 1969

explorerx4

That Torino has a Cobra grille.

Brand of the car is on the front, I believe Skoda 1000/1100.

texases

Just saw this on Mannix:

andys120

Yup Skoda 1000 ca.1960s

White Volks on right is pre-1958, the year they enlarged the backlight.

tmart

55-56 Ford wagon in front of the VW. Appears the red lens is missing.

andys120

Red pickup on left is an International Harvester

texases

Any guesses on the Mannix car? It must have been sold in the US, but I never saw one.

Looks French, but nothing more than that

texases

Oui!

Descendant was the Omni/Horizon.

Simca

ab348

It’s a Simca 1204. It was playing the role as the vehicle driven by Joe Mannix’s secretary Peggy Fair, played by Gail Fisher, in at least one season.

texases

Yep, that's it. I hadn't seen her in it before this episode.

andys120

texases

You’re right, 1100. The 1204 was the boxier one.

fintail

Kind of a Zagato body shape on the silver car but I don't think it is.

andys120

Yup, that is a Zagato body. It's on a Porsche 356 known as the Porsche Abarth a rebodied , souped up version.

andys120

fintail

Triumph 1800/2000. I believe some even made it stateside as LHD at the start of the British roadster craze./

fintail

I get a "Woodstock" vibe from the cars and the character, zooms fine:
