Mystery car pix

Pillar on the wagon at lower R in front of the Ford makes me think of a Corvair wagon.

Vancouver 1971, a little small but zooms enough to ID several:

'63 Chevy convertible @ bottom of pic, probably an Impala

A SquareBird raking a right begind the Buick converible.

The photo is dated, but lots of cars to identify

explorerx4

Photo is labeled Aug 59.
I see a 56 Ford to the right of the VW Bug, a 55 Mercury coupe(4rd car in) and maybe a 59 Ford behind it.

1953 Chevy wagon.

Stude HT above and to the right of the 59 (I think) Plymouth wagon driving in the middle of the pic.

Oval window VW Bug near the 56 Ford. It and a Hillman Minx are the only two furrin cars I see. FWIW, Fin, the Plymouth you noted is a 58. I was around to see them when they were new.

andys120

The 4-door car car on lower left looks like a Hillman Minx. These were briefly popular here n the late '50s.

fintail

LA around 1980 I presume, something here is unlike the others. zooms fine:

2 tone Nova Seville up front. behind a 1970ish Rolls royce. 1975 Camaro in period brown.

And a Corniche at that. Just found out that there was also a coupe version, and a Bentley Corniche that then was renamed the Continental.

tjc78

That 78(?) Monte trimmed that way looks great. Good color combo on it as well.

fintail

Yep two Rolls-Royce in that pic, the Silver Shadow barely seen at far left, and the biggie, the black Corniche which stands out a bit next to the first gen Accord sedan beside it.

Nelson BC, 1965, zooms well enough to ID several:

stickguy

looks like the front half of a 1960 Ford behind a black Apache style PU. And near side, a Ford Econoline pickup. Must be pretty rare these days. One like this could be fun (seem to recall they were pretty popular back in the day, and there were some where they reversed the bodies to make them into "backups")

bhill2

Right you are about the 60 Ford, Stick. Specifically a Galaxie. Parked nearest the camera on the other side is a 59 Pontiac (Cheviac) wagon.

Going to guess a 1957 BMW 503 Cabriolet Series I.

stickguy

Amazing condition. And not going cheap

explorerx4

I'll try this here.

stickguy

Ford F150 SVT Lightning.

explorerx4

Foose Edition.

Michaell

Not sure if it zooms.

Bonus points for the location.

Reminds me of Solvang, but doesn't match the pics I've found.

Black Gen 1 Capri with a brown vinyl roof.

Correct. A little bit of Denmark in central California.

Let's go out west to Solvang, CA in the early 1970s. The cars shown are secondary to the buildings, the vibrant colors, and the quality of the picture itself.

Similar view today, several businesses are the same (I was on the wrong street before):

Audi 100

A lot more trees in the background in the 2nd pic.

I thought it looked vaguely familiar

In Solvang, a Toyota Mark II sedan at lower R.

Would you buy a TV from a madman? Cars with something in common, zooms fine:

stickguy

Pair of early run suicide door Lincoln’s.

66 Galaxie 500 4 dr hardtop.

Check out the car which he produced, the "Muntz Jet", a fast little beauty.

77 or so Pontiac can am. There is one out on bring a trailer now.

ab348

Just found this pic on a neighborhood group on FB where a pile of pics from around the same time in the mid/late ‘70s just got posted. This location isn’t all that far from where I’m sitting. Lots to see here if you look closely. I think the cars might be gone now though. Should expand pretty well.

stickguy

Mustang II, Vega and gremlin. All the 70s econo classics. Oddball being the Porsche 914

tmart

VW Window Van, Volare/Aspen approaching at left.

fintail

70s Civic in front of the Gremlin.

Further up the street on the small hill backed in near a house is an odd shape, looks like an older car - one of those unusual early 60s Rambler American sedans? Kind of has a Checker shape too but seems too small.

explorerx4

Maybe a Fiat 128 between the 914 and the Buick with the bent front bumper?

I think the 128 only had dual headlights, not quads? Could this be an Alfa?

I think what you ID’ed as a Vega is actually a Pontiac Astre, a badge-engineered Vega. Was that even sold in the US?

Yes, we got the Astre

fintail

I think the quad light Fiat is a 124.

stickguy

Yea we got the astra. Only clue from behind other than a name badge is the taillights with a bunch if cross bars.
