Replying to: lemko (Oct 19, 2008 12:49 pm) Nice job Lemko, I can't argue with any of your choices. The newest car in this picture full of late model cars is the '62 Chevy (most likely a Biscayne--I can only see 4 tail lights) so it was almost certainly taken in 1962.   Notwithstanding the lack of palm trees I thought the location was Florida but it is indeed Wildwood Crest, New Jersey (Conca Dor Motel).   I'm surprised there's not a single imported car in the shot, by 1962 Volkswagens and Triumphs etc were becoming common sights on the East Coast.

Replying to: andys120 (Oct 19, 2008 11:15 am) Good job Lemko, but let's review...Across the street, the 1961 is a Pontiac Tempest (not a Buick), and there's a 1959 Chevrolet Impala parked in front of it (of course I can't see it now on my laptop monitor though). The Black and White 4 door is indeed a 1957 Pontiac - looks like a Star Chief.   Your lineup of the first row sounds right to me, but after the 1962 Plymouth is a 1957 Plymouth followed by a 1962 Chevrolet Bel Air (it has 4 lights, Impalas had 6) followed by a 1962 Oldsmobile sedan (I can't really see it).   On the left side, the black one behind the 1958 Bel Air is a 1962 Ford Fairlane. I'll stop there...

Replying to: andys120 (Oct 19, 2008 11:15 am) overall, overwhelming to me. the newest car i see is a '63 ford wagon to the right of the white buick in the line of car parked perpendicular to the street. Replies to this message: andys120 (Oct 19, 2008 4:30 pm)

Replying to: explorerx4 (Oct 19, 2008 2:56 pm) That fFord wagon looks like a '62 to me but it's hard to tell which. I think Grafer is right about the Poncho (not a Special).

Replying to: andys120 (Oct 19, 2008 1:19 pm) Huh. My immediate reaction was its the MiTo... but then noticed it has 4 doors. So I guess its the 147.... errr... 149.   But that ain't the pics I've seen. Looks like maybe someone photoshopped 2 doors onto a MiTo??

Replying to: qbrozen (Oct 20, 2008 8:49 am) Yep, it's the new Alfa 149. Replies to this message: qbrozen (Oct 20, 2008 1:00 pm)
