    Nothin’ but funny furrin’ cars in that pic. B)

    BTW, the bad emoji behavior of putting them at the start of the line instead of at the end continues. Safari/iPad.

    The unidentified car in LA appears to be a VW pickup.

    Vancouver, May 1 1980 per the source, zooms well, plenty to ID:

    The barge mid-70s Chrysler 2-door kind of stands out.

    First car looks to be a white Maverick. And off to the right is a Granada

    New looking Corvette beside a 57 Ford on the ground floor near the entrance.

    I've read about that parking structure, apparently it was troublesome.

    Talk about annual styling changes, in the top row slots 3 and 4 are, respectively, 56 and 57 Plymouths. Like two different eras.

    The interesting thing about all those car "faces" is how many make you think they are unhappy or frowning vs. neutral vs. smiling. I remember having similar impressions when I was a kid and would see other cars.

    Ford at top left is a 51 not a 52.

    Similar to the leering eyes and aggressive faces on numerous modern cars. There's probably some fun psychobabble about front end design.

    I must niggle (I must, I must). The "Country Squire" is a Caprice wagon.

    I sure cannot find any reason to doubt you, Fin. Fine identification job.

    Balfour-Kootenay ferry in BC, 1976, zooms fine enough to ID all:


  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 53,551

    Torino wagon near left. Fiat 850 sport spider up front. My sister had a yellow one like it. Far right English Ford. A Cortina?

    And a kid who looks like he was heading for a swim.

    I make that dark blue barge next to the Fiat as a mid-60s Buick Electra. Other bids?

    Las Vegas July 1989, zooms well enough:


  • MichaellMichaell Moderator Posts: 264,052
    Huh. First wife and I spent a weekend at Bally's in 1988, I think.

    Daihatsu Charade on the far left - by first BIL had one of those.

    Interestingly (maybe), several cars up in the second nearmost lane in front of a Ford pickup with some kind of rack in the bed, I think there might be another Charade too. Given the traffic mix on the strip, I wonder if they were in rental fleets there.
  • sdasda Member Posts: 7,619
    I remember reading a test drive of the Charade, the author claimed it was the MB of small cars. IIRC they were expensive compared to the competition.

    Is that a Chevy Monza Towne Coupe visible over the hood of the square-rigger Caprice?

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,528
    I recall the same about Daihatsu, high build quality and relatively expensive, same for the Rocky.

    I think the light colored car visible ahead of the Caprice might be a later Datsun 210 3 door.

    Vernon BC around 1960 perhaps, zooms fine enough to ID several:


  • bhill2bhill2 Member Posts: 2,605
    If it's 1960 that white over green Ford Country Sedan closest to the camera is someone's new pride and joy.

    Looks like a 58 tu-tone Ford going away. Hard for me to see the wood trim on the Squire, so it could be a Country Sedan instead.

  • ab348ab348 Member Posts: 20,353
    It can get hot in Vernon in the summer so I'm not surprised to see a somewhat rare white roof on the '60 Ford wagon.

    A Christine-like Plymouth parked on the left.

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,528
    I suspect the 60 Ford is a Country Sedan.

    I think in front of the Plodge at far right might be a Cheviac.
