I'm having abit of a problem seeing the yellow car grill. Its either a 57 or 58 Plymouth, I'll go 58. 62 Chevy behind it and maybe a 55 Mercury Sun Country?

Not sure if this is a real or photoshopped picture, but I believe the green one on the ramps is a 1955 Mercury Montclair with an oddly Sun Valley-ish /Crown Vic look...
 
The yellow one is a 1958 Plymouth Belvedere (like 'Christine').
 
I really can't see the 3rd one clearly on my monitor, but it seems somewhat Mopar-ish..

I have to call you on one small detail. Christine wasn't a Belvedere; she was a Fury (in more ways than one).

The triple horizontal side chrome before the rear tire indicates a 1954 Mercury.

That's neat, what's the scale?
 
It doesn't say but my guess would be 1:24 since it's the only scale I can think of where those types of cars are widely available. I guess they could be 1:43 or 1:87/HO
but the detail looks too good for the smaller scales,

Man, that's detailed, take a look at the full size image!
 
I can't imagine that being less than 1:8, don't ask me where the models come from. The only give-away that it's not 1:1 to me are the headlights.

Pretty amazing.
 
Lots more here. It takes a few seconds for the auto translator to kick in on the right side.

The model pictures are neat. When I was a kid there was a guy down the block who used one of those 49 Buick Woodies as his carpenter's work car. I saw one listed recently well north of a hundred G's. How time changes things!

I'm thinking that Crown Vic roof line treatment was introduced in 55? Of course you can customize how you want with models.
