Good guess but the lack of headrests on the seat should have tipped you off that it was a pre-1968 model. As you know the 250 was sold in the US only for '68 MY.
It's a 1965 Triumph TR-4A which would be more obvious if the ignition were on and the red light indicating generator failure was lit.
Checker, dodge aspen (never saw one of those as a city cab), RF looks like a '75ish lemans, and i think behind the right side checker is an LTDIi? although I think this picture predates them.
I'm going to guess that the Mopar cab is a '76 Plymouth Volare instead of a '75 aspen as I think by then the Dodge Division was aiming more upscale, and I think '76 was the first year for both.
Back in the day those vehicles were quite classy looking. Where I worked we had some Volare company cars - very plush compared to the competition from Ford & Chevy, but total pieces of junk. I remember riding in one as a passenger and wondering why my feet were getting wet- another bad heater connection. But the slant 6 & the Torqueflite combo was great when it worked!
Sorry, neither French nor Subaru. But quirky nonetheless. And those who have smelled a whiff of Citroen are in the vicinity--both the steering wheel and the instrument panel layout are "borrowed."
Bingo. It's a '73 Maserati Merak, as shown below. The dash and steering wheel are nearly identical to those found in the Citroen SM, and the engine is closely related as well. Later on, Maserati abandoned the Citroen interior cues, along with the hydraulics, in the more conventional Merak SS.
The One-Fifty has a horizontal chrome at the rear with a vertical hook at the front, making it look like a 1955 Chev.
This is a 210. I believe the 210 has just the long lone piece of chrome that angles down to the rear according to the 1957 brochure, but the upper swoop could be added as an option... giving it the look of the BelAir without the inner flat layer of chrome or brushed aluminum. But most 210's have both pieces in any pictures I've found except the Chev brochure.
Yes, it's definitely a 210 (mid-level between a 150 (stripped) and a Bel Air (luxury). I really believe all 210's had this side decoration, and if it was a 2-tone then the strip within would match the roof color!
When I was a kid we had a pretty plain jane solid black '57 210, and friends of my parents had a'57 2-tone Black & White 210 with the white strip that matched the roof; ours was 6-cyl with 3 speed stick, while theirs was "loaded' with V8 and automatic.
Yup it's a Peel P50 like the one Jezza drove through the offices and studios of BBC-TV, 49cc DKW motor. About 50 were made on the Isle of Man(!) in 1963-64. According to the Guiness Book it's the smallest car ever made for road use.

Good eye, Magnette, on that 65 Studebaker Wagonaire.
Alternate guess----TR250 (one year model).
It's a 1965 Triumph TR-4A which would be more obvious if the ignition were on and the red light indicating generator failure was lit.

BTW, looks like a '57 Nomad in the reflection!
Good eye Wgrafer, IIRC there was a Nomad next to the plain black car, I think it was a '56.

The drivers staring at you are the ones who are going to run off the road and smash into a tree. :P

Close, but no cigar. It's a 1981 Toyota Land Cruiser HJ 45.

Bah, only three wheels, not really a "car".
This is a car.
