    Looks like they filled in the space below the canopy to make it interior space. The trees are better today though.

    classic baby blue Pinto wagon.

    The Blazer would be worth quite a bit these days in nice shape.

    Fuselage Chrysler Town & Country wagon near right, I think a 1972. Large and in charge!

    My nostalgic favorite would be the Dodge Dart second from front. However, I would rather have a later one with a 340 in it.

    Two pictures of an area of DT Halifax, NS that no longer exists, now the site of an ill-advised urban renewal project called Scotia Square. The local Chrysler/Dodge dealer seemed to be doing well.

    I like the two older fellows in flat caps and baggy suits standing near the corner leaning against the store building.

    Bentley S series I believe, the T series was the Silver Shadow equivalent.

    Maybe a squarebody in the background beside the bus.

    early Opel Manta, behind a new at the time Corolla in that awkward body style they had that couldn't decide if it wanted to be a wagon or a hatchback.

    Maybe a Nova reflected in the rightmost pane of glass?
    Looks like a GM Rallye wheel and a large black stripe along the fender.
    Wheel arch reminds me of a Nova.

    I've always somewhat liked those Corolla liftbacks, kind of a shooting brake vibe.

    My best friend bought one, after selling his just before delivering to new owner engine on fire, Chevy Vega. Gray, I thought it looked good.
    And never caught fire.

    When I was a kid, I remember going with my dad to look at one for sale, private party. Don’t know why we didn’t get it.

    In the early 80s a neighbor had one, in yellow which seems to have been a popular color.

    Coal Harbour, Vancouver BC May 14 1964 per the source, zooms well enough to ID all I think:

    Man, that 1963 (or is it a ‘64?) Chrysler 2-door is a dreamboat!

    The Chrysler really does look fetching in white with the whitewalls. The little Nova or Acadian Beaumont in front of it is appealing too.

    VW Beetle on billboard and far right.

    I love that the Torino is the company vehicle for the carpet store - this was the era before SUVs.

    I remember seeing the Carpeteria commercials when I was a kid.

    Just for nostalgia I will mention the white(ish) 62 Mercury wagon approaching the intersection. Looks like a Colony Park.

    Pic title is "Nanaimo" - not sure if this is in Nanaimo, going to Nanaimo, or the ferry name is Nanaimo - a little fuzzy but several to pick out, early mid 70s vibe:

    Lower right, a 65 Galaxie coupe, a Toyota Corona ahead of it and a gold with black roof Cougar ahead of it.
