    Early 911 next to the tri-5 Chevy. and looks like a Subaru behind it. up front, nice looking Dodge PU. Grill makes me think of the TV show Emergency. VW 411 in the fast lane, in front of a white Nova.

    Yup a 1960 Cadillac ElDorado Biarritz one of the iconic designs of the era. IIRC '0 was the last rear for the wraparound front glass

    Can't recall if I have posted this - opening day of the Evergreen Point Floating Bridge, August 28 1963 (zooms well):

    some BMC product in front of the bus. Austin Marina? something like that. Bus is a GMC.

    Two 57 Fords and two VW’s. I think a 61 Ford and possibly a 62 Ford.

  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 54,046
    1 VW, the darker one with the louvers is something else. I used to know but can't recall. A renault maybe?

    Several cars up in the left lane heading away, I see a white 57 Ford with a continental kit - something seen much more now than back in the day.

    1955 Plymouth 6-cylinder with auto transmission--Powerflight logo on right of trunk.
    If it had a V8, the center logo on the trunk would a large "V" with and "8" in the middle.

    LA apparently, no earlier than 1980, zooms fine:




  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 54,046
    C2 Vette is easy. I know the gills date it, so maybe a '65? Datsun L'll Hustler next to the Rabbit, and I think the Wagon is a Mazda. 3 back from the Rabbit is a nice looking Capri. Not a great view but I think a Capri II.

    Behind the Capri appears to be a late '70s BMW 7-series

    i think behind the Capri (I agree, a II) is an E12 5er.

    Driving a way are a pair of similar E70 Corollas, which were new for 1980.

    Yes, an E12, the car I’ve liked ever since it came out, especially the 528i.

  • ab348ab348 Member Posts: 20,588
    Early ‘60s, location unknown but obviously in a part of the USA that gets snow. Having snow-covered cars makes IDing them a bit more challenging.

    Winter picture, just past the Pontiac, good luck turning left out of the station, a 60 Ford, 58 Ford wagon, 60 Ford, 60 Comet. In the right lane, a 59 Mercury and couple cars ahead of that, a 61 Ford.

    That ‘60 Olds trying to pull out of the Esso station is tarted up like it just left a modern-day antique car show with the obligatory skirts and some J C Whitney wheel covers.

    1955 Dodge Custom Royal Lancer behind the closest 1960 Ford with the weight in the trunk for traction.

    . I believe it's a Lancer because it has the chrome shark fin on its rear fender.

    Looks like Spokane weather earlier today. Both 60 Fords could be Fairlanes.

    Maybe at far right behind the skirted Olds, the front of a 62 Chevy?

    62 Chevy is the only car I see later than a 61. Makes me think it is from late 61 or early 62.

    Seattle, apparently during the World's Fair. Angle is a little high but still plenty to spot, zooms well:


  • xwesxxwesx Member Posts: 17,915
    Yeah, that high angle is weird. They missed half the parking lot! :D

    I see a '60 Buick near the lower right. I am curious about the red car with the white top in the lower bottom center of the pic.

    I think it's a Buick ca. 1953-4. The roof looks odd bec ause there's a load rack covering the front section.

    Yes, a '50 Champion fits the bill:

    I believe I see a 60 Ford Galaxie 4 door post, 2nd car in at left, in front of a ~50 Mopar sedan - maybe in the white or powder blue that seem so common for 60 Fords.
  • ab348ab348 Member Posts: 20,588
    Interesting shot of a Chevy dealer used car lot, maybe late '50s/early '60s. Zooms a bit:
