I started driving in '74, and we had gas prices even cheaper than that, off and on... (midwest, not east coast, though)

IIRC most of the Gen 1 Capris e got were made in Dagenham, not Cologne.
The Morris is probably the oldest car in the pic (1959-60?) and the Capri may be the newest.

I can't believe nobody can recall the year of the great Gas Embargo.

I actually know about this one but will let someone else figure it out. However, I can confirm that this was not a reject from the Wacky Races!
The real story involves a Fish Barter Scheme with the Soviet Union!

This is one of the odd stories of motoring history. The Troll was a fibre-glass bodied 700cc, two stroke, rear wheel drive car developed in the 1950's by Troll Plastik & Bilindustri, ostensibly to develop a Norwegian Car Industry. However the Norwegian government were keen to sustain a fish export industry, especially to the Soviet Union, which supplied cars to Norway offset by the fish exports. Accordingly Troll were restricted to manufacture 15 cars, although only about 6-7 were actually produced.
It was supposed to be a sports car and the engine, sourced from Germany was claimed to have a Bosch fuel injection system. Top speed was about 130km/h. It was compared to a Porsche of the time, which seems a bit optimistic.
There were export plans for something like 2,000 cars per annum, but after investors got the hint that it could not be sold in Norway (due to the Fish Barter Deal) any idea of volume production ceased.
Not sure that the name was catchy enough. There might be other connotations in Norway but calling a car after a fierce legendary monster with a fondness for eating children, does not seem a winner to me.

Is the gold car the Mercury? I get the impression of a Dodge or Chrysler. Maybe partly by the C-pillar shape along with the ridge along the side.

Guess you forgot that side marker lights came in for 1968. That's a 1970 Toyota Corona.

Forgot? Heck, I was 5 in 1968.
My folks had a '73 Corona.

With the shape of the metal around the license plate holder and the positioning of the rear view mirrors, someone should recognize the car.
The dark blotches almost show numbers on the license.
Is that an antenna on top of the car? One of those flat V-shape antennas for TV?

Long term test.
I'm guessing Silverado.
I am having a tough time with the car, but it is distinctive with the license plate area and taillights, which appear to have a light area on the trunklid.
Maybe submit it to Jalopnik, they do car ID spots all the time.
Not too many cars have those, and most that do don't fit the overall body.
Hopefully the mirrors ring a bell for someone.
