    Surprised the owner of that Cadillac would frequent a Restaurant operated by someone famous for robbing the rich to give to the poor..

    Surrey, BC, Canada, sometime around 1960 or so.

    1960 Ford four poster under the Flamingo. Behind it a dowdy somewhat British looking sedan. I;; guess a Standard Ten. White car facing camera looks like a circa 1950-52 Canadian Pontiac that's actually a Chevy.

    I think the car behind the lower line 60 Ford is an early 50s Hillman Minx.

    Is that a '57 Studie behind the mystery British car?

    Lucid Air.

    Pictures do not convey how big this car really is.

    Jag XK. I'll guess a 120.

    A bit of a dismal pic, on a dismal day, in a dismal season of the year, of pretty dismal vehicles. This one should expand to a very large size.

    Ah, my childhood. Dismal indeed!

    Civic CRX next to a Tempo/ Bronco II in the next row, next to what looks like a Chrysler product of some sort.... maybe a Toyota Tercel next to that.

    it is a Civic hatch, not a CRX. I think about an '85. I had an S version of that car in 1990.

    2 down from the Bronco is a Mitsubishi/Dodge Colt. also about an 85. I had a Dodge of that vintage too (bought that new in 1985).

    You sure that is a Colt? It has an early Hyundai vibe to me. They were popular up here because they were cheaper than other econobox vehicles.

    Could be an Excel (pony?). Greenhouse looks the same.

    Civic is an 84-85, next to an 88+ Topaz, with another Civic beside it.

    The bullet taillights ID it as a 1960. This is the '59:

    That Minx at Surrey BC is, I think, a Mk V - the mk VI - VII both had a longer boot.

    Meanwhile in Seattle with the Jag XK120 the grey sedan trying to hide behind the walking man is an Austin Cambridge A55 - circa 1956-59 - the pre-Farina model

    Wow, @magnette, I wish I could offer some sort of informed reply, but all of those stump me.

    I'm pretty well stumped as well but the wagon that is parked facing the camera looks like a late '50s Hillman Minx that was once sold in the US. Of course it could easily be a Sunbeam or some other Rootes Group badge (Singer/Humber etc.)

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,687
    Two tone car at left perhaps a late run "old style" Hillman Minx. In front of that an Anglia/Escort estate perhaps - has a Ford vibe. Wagon/estate 2 ahead of that facing camera might be a Standard 10.
  • magnettemagnette Member Posts: 4,239
    @fintail - I think you got all of them fin, except the green estate ahead of the Escort

    It's actually the estate version of a Standard Vanguard III or possibly a Standard Ensign Estate - the badge is, I think more likely a Vanguard than the more basic Ensign version

    I like this pic, late 1970s, San Francisco area. It expands to a gigantic size.

    a Montego, Cordoba and 2 Nova Sevilles front and center.

    and a gen 1 Capri hiding behind the Cordoba

    and a Volvo 164 partially hidden by a Nova and a light pole.

    Don’t you mean two Cadillac Sevilles?

    Just above and to the right of the Seville at right, a 63 Imperial coupe. In between the Seville and Imperial, a Mazda RX4 Wagon

    A Duster to the right of the Seville.

    Can't recall if I shared this - Seattle 1971, with its 1940s looking electric buses (zooms well):

    far left a baby blue Opel Manta next to a Volvo 144.

    Red Volvo 120 parked along the curb about halfway up.

    I don’t recall ever seeing a baby blue Manta. White, maroon, dark blue are the colors I normally associate with that car. A friend had a 75 white with red vinyl interior, 4sp.

    my '75 was BRG. What a mistake buying that car was.

    I think I see a ‘68 Cutlass convertible parked at the curb on the right 2 blocks up.

    I thought the black over red car was a Firebird but it's too big, same size as the Cutlass behind it.
    I think it must be a LeMans or a GTO

    andys120 -- The red car with the black roof is a 69 Firebird. I used to own a 69 that was blue with blue vinyl roof. The hood is very different from a Lemans.

    this one was taken at a motorbike scrambling event in the early sixties.

    The circuit - on the hill above looking down on the car park - was provided with straw bales for crowd safety in those days ,,,,, there are a few three wheelers in the car park too - many people at that time drove such cars on a motorcycle licence so as this is a bike event presumably that is why they are there..

    Should expand
