Yes a GATSO/ Gatford. Bizarre car. Built of aluminum, like a plane fuselage, and fitted with a Mercury flathead. Can't find out how many they made, but " a few". Top speed was alleged to be 112 mph, with overdrive in all 3 gears.

Even Motorbase doesn't say how many were built and they usually have that info.
Reading between the lines I'd guess that at most a couple of dozen were made from '46-'51.
 
More on the Gatso.

Would the gray thing be an early Moskvitch (Opel Kadett clone)?

My old boss had one.

Too square, too narrow, with buyers too old to notice
 
No wonder they started driving Acuras.

Oh, you are good, it's a 1952 Moskvitch 400, and it is indeed a copy of a 1930s Opel Kadette.

I'm guessing 1959-60 Dodge (loved the MoPar swivel seats of that era). I love old, illustrated car ads/brochures.
