    Thanks Wojojo.

    38FordPickup - The pink and white one in the 6th photo down? It's a 1960 Hillman Minx.
     
  9. Was Hillman affiliated with Ford, or did Hillman just like the '55 Ford styling enough to copy it?

    The grille does look like Ford, but Hillman at that point was styled by Raymond Loewy's design group and influenced by the contemporary Studebakers. Not easy to tell from that angle but look at the side view of one next to a mid-fifties Stude four-door and it shows.

  17. There's also a 58-60 Lincoln barely that's barely visible beyond the DeSoto in the photo.
    Was it too dangerous to snap some photos of it?;)

    There were a lot of British cars that had similarities with the american cars. Our cars seemed to be about 5 years or so behind you though.The second car down in the pics is a Humber Hawk and it has very similar styling to a 55 chevy . Pretty much all the major manufactures followed the American styling in some way or another.

  19. If thats your "little lady" in your avatar, I would do just about whatever she said....:)
