Can't tell about the farthest car on the right, but behind that appears to my eyes to be some sort of Simca-Ford Vedette, followed by a Lancia Aurelia. The car behind the Aurelia, with the disc wheels, might be a Citroen ID19. (Have you ever seen a picture that "might" be a Citroen?)

Nice job, Stephen987.
Ford was out of the picture after about 1954, despite the Ford look the Vedette, is a Simca Vedette like this 1959 Vedette Regence>
The first car to the left is another Simca, the most popular seller in 1950's France, the Simca Aronde ('51-'58)>
 .
It was the popularity of the Aronde, Simca's first design not based on a Fiat, which enabled Simca to acquire Ford France as well as Talbot and Unic.
In '58 Chrysler acquired a stake in Simca becoming majority owner in 1963, changing the name to Chrysler France in 1970 and dropping the Simca name in '81.
Oh yes, the Lancia Aurelia is a GT (B20S)

Thanks for this one--it was fun! I remember reading that when the Vedette passed from Ford France to Simca, practically every piece had to be reengineered--not because the Ford parts were bad but because they were adapted from US and UK components and were thus non-metric. I like the look--sort of a 7/8 scale US Ford, but a bit cleaner.
The Aronde is a nice looking car too--restrained, clean without the poverty-spec look that was common to so many Euro cars in the 1950s.

This is a descendant of the Fiat Campanogla - Fiat then entered into an arrangement with Ford Germany and a few others to form a truck company called Iveco, in Spain, and for some markets their range included a version of the Fiat badged as an Iveco. ( I'm a bit vague about this as we get Iveco trucks here but not the Campanola)

That's correct, Magnette, in fact it's called the IVECO Campagnola. We get lots of heavy and medium IVECO Trucks here but I doubt the Campagnola is headed our way.

Currently IVECO ("Industrial Vehicle Corporation") is a truck, van & and diesel-engine maker settled in Torino. It is a FIAT subsidiary. It builds about 200,000 vehicles and 460,000 engines per year. A number of European truck makers were bought by FIAT/IVECO at the end of the last Century to have the Corporation the size it is now. Among them, the former Spanish brand 'Pegaso', of which an agreed buying by MB collided with the European anti-cartel legislation.

It looks like an Autonacional Biscuter, or something along those lines, from the early fifties or its French antecedent.
