What a lineup...barely a German car among them. I've never seen the film, but I am pretty sure those are Dutch plates.
 
Along with the Chevy Malibu ca. 1968-69 (which doesn't look too out of place, shockingly), there's a cool Citroen DS/ID wagon in front of it, and a sedan behind it. I'm guessing the BMW alongside the Chevy is a 1600 (that or a 2002), behind it a German Ford, then a VW, then what looks like a VW 411. Parked right near the BMW is a Mini or one of its derivatives.
 
The parked cars are a menagerie - mainly French. I see a couple Citroen Dyanes, a couple Renault 4s, a Peugeot 404, I think I see a 2CV way back there along with a Citroen Ami wagon, a few VWs, I think I see a few Opels, and others I am to lazy or not able to identify.

Pretty good job you guys but nobody figured out that the BMW is most likely a 2002, in fact it looks just like the '69 a buddy of mine had. The blackout grille is the tip off that it isn't a 1602.
 
I don't recognize the blue wagon behind the Bimmer, anyone know?

I'm pretty sure it's a German Ford, something like a Taunus 15M

Guys, he has short tennis shorts on, so I am guessing this is an old photo from the 70's......being a music nut (notice my screen name), I am taking a wild guess that this guy is Peter Cetera , who was a bass player/songwriter/lead(tenor) singer from the jazz/rock big band fusion group CHICAGO, who really played balls out in the late 60's to about 1976ish........I am here to tell you...........If I am way off, at least I tried, and he still bears a passing resemblance............guys, just a guess, as I don't watch much TV, and I am always hoping for more music to heal/change this world.....................
 
Fire away, comrades.............I have walked the plank on this one!!!!!!!!!!! :

Hey andys120, I am just guessing again, but that wagon behind your Bimmer just could be a Vauxhall , which was "under the radar " for years in Europe.....I have no idea what happened to them in later years. Boy, I am I going to hear about this frivolous throw down..............

The Chevelle looks to be from 1969.
