Friend was down there last month. Won't be able to verify what's what though.

'53 Chevy, I believe a One-Fifty model unless all trim was removed when the car was repainted.
I've always heard those early '50's six-cylinder Chevys were solidly built, but I used to think they were boring as all get-out. I've lately learned to appreciate them more.
I like the '54 grille better than the '53. Of the '49-54's, I like a '49 fastback coupe ("Fleetline") best. I've seen a photo of my late grandparents' '49 Chevy four-door fastback.

I'll let others handle the cars, turns out the 'Kimball House' was a famous Atlanta hotel back in the day. All that's there now is a parking lot.

I'll just take the latest years I see - the green '51 Ford on the left and the green '51 Oldsmobile on extreme right.

The black car in front of the 1951 Ford appears to be a 1942-48 Buick.

Good eye, Grafer, it is a 1951 photograph. Obviously the Kimball House had already passed its prime.

I'm seein' a couple of 220S pontons (one perhaps a convertible), a 914 or two, a 911, what may be a Citroen Avant (far left), a 190SL top left
What's the 190SL sitting on? (two of the same something) and what's the rusty car right up front--it looks SOOOO familiar but I'm not getting it. Ferrari maybe?

I see a white Ponton Mercedes and the remains of a few Porsches. I spot a 914, and a few 911s in various stages of decomposition.
