Red and white 57 Chevy Bel Air

Chevy missing front bumper and sporting chromed rims, probably AREs

Not sure if this has been posted before, but it is a fun lineup, zooms fine

My 50's car knowledge is pretty slim, but the second from the left is a .... Ford?

fintail

Yep that's a 57 Ford 2nd from L, and it has a near twin in the pic.

The car in the far right of the picture is an Edsel.
Guess I'm on an Edsel roll.

On the left border - 1950 Dodge Coronet Diplomat.

The white over red coupe in the center has me flummoxed.

1955 ish DKW F91?

bhill2

Talk about contrasts, the DKW is next to a 58 Buick; probably the most baroque over-chromed example of the era..

ARE is an aftermarket wheel brand

fintail

The red coupe is a DKW yeah, also marketed as the 3=6, I believe meaning its 3 cylinders were supposed to equal 6 cylinders. Someone was a daring free thinker to buy that in the late 50s.

texases

I think the front wheels on that ‘57 are Cragers.

Port Orchard WA, 1975 - mostly rooflines, but I think several can be picked out when zoomed:

Mustang @ left

That picture is like one of those security challenge things to prove you are a real person and not a bot that shows you only partial slivers of pictures of something and wants you to pick them out.

My favorite - select all of the tiles with a motorcycle (no motorcycles, the only vehicle visible is a scooter).

In this case, select the AMC and the Honda.

Fiat 850?

explorerx4

In the roofs picture that's a Shelby Mustang on the left.

stickguy

850 sport spider.

Far back little white car looks like a Honda S600. Thought at first a gen 1 civic with a distorted picture.

fintail

Roof ID is a little tough, here's an easier one. Centralia WA, 1980, after one of the later eruptions of Mt. St. Helens (cars this old were not a very uncommon sight in the PNW in the 80s):

tmart

I’d say the “white “ car is an Olds, but no idea the year.

Lostwrench3

1955.

fintail

Bremerton WA 1978, some are a little small but zooms enough to ID:

stickguy

nice Torino up front. I liked that iteration (the styling at least)

roadburner

1972 Gran Torino. I thought that the GT Sportsroof was particularly attractive. The later models with the massive impact bumpers ruined the car.

bhill2

VW 412 wagon on the other side of the street. I want to say that the wagon behind it is an Audi Fox, but I'm less than certain of that.

Similar styling, Dasher.

That Bremerton pic includes a lovely example of a 73 or 74 Econoline van.

Let's cross the sound and visit Seattle in the early 80s, plenty to see here as it zooms fine:

stickguy

AH 3000 up front. Ford Fairmont behind the tail of the Datsun PU. and right lane a few up, a gen 2 Capril

sda

Ford wagon leaning into the turn. Good handling chops.

explorerx4

They all were in a hurry to run the red light.

andys120

The Healey is a Mk.III. Earlier versions had no wind wings.

Grand Am.. late '90s?

texases

Some designs haven't improved with age, IMO.

fintail

Pontiac was MY 1999-05, replaced by the G6. The cladding era.

andys120

It's a 2000 Poncho GA

fintail

Back to Bremerton, 1970 - not crystal clear but enough to zoom in and pick out a few:

texases

Brown Dart or Valiant left front

stickguy

cool Torino in the bottom intersection. and a green 62? Chevy parked on the street.

This one is obscure but apparently parked in Central London in the mid fifties...

I’ll take the Cutlass, thank you very much!

explorerx4

The Cutlass is a Hurst W30 model.

Looks like a very late Golf cabrio behind the Monte Carlo.
