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).

The '60 Impala was the first to have three round tailights
on each side whereas the '59 t/ls had a teardrop style >

I don't really understand it, but I've got a weakness for those 59 Chevy's - always liked them for whatever reasons. Most people seemed to prefer the 60, but I think GM went overboard the other way in restraining the 60's vice the 59's in their lineup, they just didn't generate the same newness and excitement - kind of like the 59 Mopars versus the 57/58's.

I like the body (either one) way more than the more iconic '57s. But I had a poor clutch learning experience on a friend's '57. And I sunk it up to the axles on a soft shoulder one time too. But the '59 we had would barely go 60 downhill with the wind.
 
Thanks for the info/pics Andy and Imidazol97 - I've not been able to find any old family photos of our old cars, except the one Buick wagon from the early 60's.

Very close... it's a 1961 Mercury Comet. '62's had different tail lights - little round ones sort of like an Impala.
