    Maverick (where's the bed?), Aspen wagon, Horizon and Fairmont in the back tow.

    I think the car in the front you can only see the top of is a Mazda 626

    I'll grab the Golf/Rabbit, second car in the front row. I had one of those. Great car, but it was a diesel so not real exciting.

    Is that an Aspen/Volare wagon just to the left of the tree?

    Yeah, that model 626 has a very distinctive 'greenhouse' design.

    I loved my 1980 non-turbo diesel rabbit. Would I buy one today? Yes.

    Wagon beside the big Ford coupe appears to be a Renault 12, rare then and a unicorn today.

    Camry appears to be the newest car in the pic, could be from 1983.

    Sunset Blvd, June 1977 per the source, maybe not a rerun - small image but zooms pretty well, can pick out several:

    Rare jag XJ coupe followed by first gen scirocco. Under the blimp a gen 2 Camaro.

    Looks like a '73/'74 Nova or one of its clones going out of frame at the right.

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,892
    I think the XJC was maybe only model years 75-77 in the USDM, pretty car.

    Yes, paceful and graceful.

    2222 Main St, Vancouver, 1978, zooms fine:


  • tmarttmart Member Posts: 2,429

    Looks like an Econoline in the garage bay.

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,892
    That or a Chevy. Guess nobody wanted the Malibu, Maverick, Comet, Cordoba, Aspenlare woody etc :)

    LA, 1984, zooms enough to pick out several:



  • ab348ab348 Member Posts: 20,737
    A Datsun B210 Atomic Cockroach coupe and an early ‘70s Corolla coupe with the very stylish vinyl roof. B)

    Don’t believe the blurry woody is a Volare or Aspen. More likely a Mercury, Ford or maybe a Chrysler.

  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 54,342
    brown rabbit 4 door, and a yellow Escort.

    Somehow that woody whispers 'Olds Cruiser (wagon)' to me; around a 1980.

    Yellow Chevette in front of the Rabbit.
    The straight lines of the woody wagon say Ford to me.

    Oh yeah, I mean the woody in the b&w 1978 image, upper right next to a Cordoba. I also think the big woody in the Spots pic is a Ford product.

  • Lostwrench3Lostwrench3 Member Posts: 847
    Looks like Spots is using an old McDonald's sign. Not only can one see the arch but the S from McDonald's.

    Kerrisdale Arena, Vancouver, must be mid 60s, zooms fine enough to ID several:

    64 Olds Starfire up front. Can anyone identify the white car between the Olds and the Ford?

    Looks like it could be an Austin Cambridge.

    1959 Pontiac.
    And, as to the Corvette, a 1956 or 1957.
    Open the hood. Fuel injection? Then it is a 1957.

  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,892
    The 60 Ford at Kerrisdale looks like a Ranch Wagon by its sparse side trim. Definitely some kind of BMC Farina in front of it, likely an Austin. Looks like a ~65 Chrysler driving at right near the girls.
  • fintailfintail Member Posts: 58,892
    Ordinary old used car lot in Seattle in the 70s, should be able to zoom in enough to ID a few:


  • stickguystickguy Member Posts: 54,342
    some nice stuff there. White 911 next to an Alfa Spider. And a trio of FIAT Dinos in front.

    Vancouver, by the file name appears to be February 1964. A tightly packed parking lot with a lot to see, zooms nicely:
