    Behind the Dodge probably an early 50s Chevy fastback.

    Yes indeed. They called that fastback style the Fleetline as opposed to the one with a rump, which was a Styleline. Haven't a clue how they got either name.
    I think it might have been model hierarchy, but I don't recall what order they were in.

    Something the domestic did amusingly, devaluing model names - names like Bel Air and Galaxie were once top of the line, became base. meanwhile, the import competition kept names in their positions.

    It's a 1960 Jag MkIX. Not my favorite Jaguar.

    It's a 59 Ford and the script says Ranch Wagon. I guess the Del Rio nmae was dropped by then.

    I'm not familiar w the "DelRio" name but IIRC the two-door 1950s Ford 2DR wagons were all "Ranch Wagons". OTOH I dunno why anybody would buy a tank like that w just 2 doors.

    I think the DelRio was an upgraded Ranch Wagon, but could be wrong.

    I think the 2 door fullsized wagon only lasted until 1961, although a little longer for Falcon.

    I see Pontiac too, with the general shape of those fins.

    Meanwhile in AZ, zooms fine:

    I thought Pontiac but didn't post because they all seem to have some chrome trim running front to back on the hood and the trunk.

    Looks like a '70 model Pontiac, to me. My uncle had one.

    Brand of the car is on the front, I believe Skoda 1000/1100.
  • texasestexases Member Posts: 11,082

    White Volks on right is pre-1958, the year they enlarged the backlight.

    55-56 Ford wagon in front of the VW. Appears the red lens is missing.

    Any guesses on the Mannix car? It must have been sold in the US, but I never saw one.

    It’s a Simca 1204. It was playing the role as the vehicle driven by Joe Mannix’s secretary Peggy Fair, played by Gail Fisher, in at least one season.

    You’re right, 1100. The 1204 was the boxier one.

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,352
    Kind of a Zagato body shape on the silver car but I don't think it is.
  • andys120andys120 Member Posts: 23,661
    Yup, that is a Zagato body. It's on a Porsche 356 known as the Porsche Abarth a rebodied , souped up version.

    Triumph 1800/2000. I believe some even made it stateside as LHD at the start of the British roadster craze./

    I get a "Woodstock" vibe from the cars and the character, zooms fine:
