The only cars I can clearly identify is the dust covered 1959 Chevrolet sedan in the center and the yellow VW Bug in the back.

The 59 Chevy in the middle is the most noticeable, with a 46-48 Ford Tudor in front of it and a ca. 50 Hudson behind it and a VW beside it. Do I see an Isetta way back there too?
 
To the right of those, the light blue car under a tarp appears to be an early 30s Dodge or Plymouth, followed by a late (24-27) Model T Tudor, and an unknown behind it.
 
On the left, the first car is unknown, the rust-red/white car is stumping me - reminds me of a Simca Aronde or maybe a British product, then an Austin A40 Devon, then an unknown, then a Model T coupe.

Nice going Fin...I didn't even notice the Isetta back there (no way to tell if it's an Iso or a BMW). I was going to post a better picture of the red/white car but you've nailed it, it's a Simca Aronde and the other car is indeed an Austin>
 

 
You're a little off on the Ford tudor, Hemmings sez it's a '47.
Here's a better look>

And a 1950 Studebaker.

Looks like an early 60's Schwinn American leaning against the Model T.

Looks like a 53 Ford Sunliner, but the trim doesn't appear to be US, so maybe a Canadian model, or Mercury.

...in the grille leads me to believe it's a Meteor - the Canadian version of a Ford. As for the year, I would guess it's a 1952-54.

Yep it's a 1953 Meteor Crestline. I find it interesting that FoMoCo's Canadian marketers thought there was a niche between Ford and Mercury and filled it with Meteors from '49 to '76 but the USA marketers tried it with the Edsel and it only lasted from '58-'61. Go figure ?
