Yep, it's a '78. Besides the wheel trim, the rectangular headlights and relatively small side marker lights are giveaways that it's the Euro-spec 131. US-spec models were sold as Fiat Bravas.

Actually, in the US they were sold as 131s from 1975-77. The Brava name came on in '78, initially for the super-luxury version. In '79 and '80 Brava was the base 131, and Super Brava was the luxury version.

Those sixties-vintage Jags and Daimlers always sort of run together in my mind. For the sake of taking a first shot, I'll say this one's a '67ish Jaguar 420.

Pretty good stab, Stephen. It's a 1967 Jaguar 420G.

60 Pontiac, 57 Rambler, 60 Impala, 63 or 64 Impala, 65 or 66 Caddy? Can't really make the rest of them out.

I think you guys got 'em all. I think the car ahead of the '64 Impala could be a Continental convertible ca. '61-'65. rather than a Caddy.

Just curious, but why isn't the red Impala a '59?
 
(there was a similar looking gutless, and often brakeless, '59 that looked like this one in my family for a while. It was the loser/last straw kind of ride).
