    I might get in, but may not be able to get out. At least not gracefully!

    TR2?

    That's a 1960 Triumph TR3. Widemouth versions of the TR3 are popularly known as TR3As but the factory never used that designator.

    Technically that is true. Practically speaking the letter or lack thereof is how you differentiate the first series cars from the second. I won't even mention the 3B.

    Re S African shot I think we have three different Austin A40's parked in that row

    Grey rear wing - A40 Somerset
    Green with white boot lid - A40 Devon
    and between DKW and Vaguard is either an A40 or A50 Cambridge - they were externally identical other than the badging.

    Exactly, it's an early Canadian market car so it has the Flathead V8 instead of the new Y-block used in all USDM units.

    Pastels were big in the 1950s but haven't been seen on cars since.

    Is it an Early Mary Kay cosmetics salesperson's car? Pink. Pink.

    I remember seeing a 56 Thunderbird in that color in my youth and drooling over how neat it was (maybe it was 55, that's been a few years ago. I saw the same car I think at a car show several years ago in the county seat in Indiana where I was reared).

    Nissan 240SX - mid 90's iteration.

    Most of these have been converted to drift machines, now.

    My wife had a ‘90 hatchback, when we met. Hated those motorized belts.

    one of my favorite cars I ever had was my '91 Mazda 626 5-door. Sold it at 90k miles, mostly because I hated the belts. Should have kept it anyway. Just fit like a glove, and had great seats!

    Is the baby blue convertible a triumph? Late sprite maybe? Behind a white stude.

    Yep looks like a bugeye Sprite to me.

    I'll pick off the 64 Galaxie convertible sans hubcaps and wearing wide-ish whitewalls at lower right. and I see a peek at the rear of a 61 Ford at far lower left.

    Great mid-60s photo. Several Buicks, a '63 Electra ragtop, a '65 LeSabre 2-door, and a '60 2-door parked in front of Mars Stores. Also a '62 Chevy behind it along with an early Mustang and early Stude Lark, a '59 or '60. Checker cab passing by on the street.

    Several different cars wore the Sunbeam Alpine badge during the 40s 50s & 60s but this was the sportiest and one of the best selling 2-placers here in the 60s. The blue car picture is MY 1966

  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,682
    I'll pick out the only not-French car visible (at least to moi). It's the big Mercedes on left, a Wl09/110. A Renault R8 is pulling out from behind it and a Renault 4 is in back of that.

    Have at it guys.

    A Citroen HY van! A Renault R8 pulling away from the curb in front of it. I believe the lady with the sample case is walking next to a Renault 4. Oops, Andy got the last two while I was typing. There's a new for the times Renault 16 up ahead parked at the opposite curb. I believe the two similar-looking sedans with a hint of rear fins and vertical taillights are Peugeot 404s.

    The largish white sedan coming up alongside the van is a Simca 1501 I think. And a 2CV just entering the frame at the bottom of the pic.

    I'll just add a W111 fintail parked in front of the MB parked at left (which is a W108/109 - W110 is the lower line fintail).

    An early Jeep. That’s all I got.
  • omarmanomarman Member Posts: 2,702
    I can't see WILLYS or JEEP stamped on the hood or windshield frame. Maybe a restored early civilian CJ-2A with a replacement tub.
