Datsun 410 (Nissan Bluebird), ca. 1966-67. Immediate precursor to the famous 510, with vaguely Alfa-ish bodywork.

It most definately isn't a 1980 Thunderbird! A 1980 Thunderbird is this monstrosity:
 

 
My Dad had a 1981 Thunderbird Town Landau. It was a real dog! I had to floor that puny 255 V-8 engine just to get that car up a hill.

Close enough Stephen, It's a 1966 Datsun 411 (JDM PL411 Bluebird),
the 411 being a larger-engined version with the 1600cc engine from the Datsun Sports
/JDM Fairlady, as opposed to the 410's 1300cc motor. They look almost identical, the resemblance to Alfas stemming from the fact that Pininfarina executed the styling.
 
Here's what they look like with bumpers and whitewalls>

Meyers Manx - unknown year, since they pretty much all look the same.

Yep it's a late 60's Manx, I considered buying one as they are lighter than the Beetle with better handling and braking and there's a zillion ways to hop-up the basic VW boxer. Driving one was much like I'd imagine a 356 would drive.

Gads, it's a Mercury Lynx LN7. Two passengers, no power.
