Quiz of sorts..

Trying to date some pictures of our company and we are look at a picture with 1950's cars. Can anyone I.D. the newest car in the picture. Thanks

 

I believe the wagon is 1956. Anyone care to confirm? Certainly not Later than 56

 

Probably 55. I'll take the Cameo if it's available.

Top picture 55 olds

 

The Olds had a small airplane hood ornament. Pontiacs had the two big pieces of trim running down the top of the hood toward the windshield.
'56 Pontiac had side trim very similar to the '55 Olds. Googling '56 Pontiac Images confirms that car in the top pic to be a '56 Poncho.

I can't make out the wagon, or the two cars at the far right of that same photo.

I'm thinking the wagon in second pic is the newest vehicle...looks like 1959ish era, but I cannot see any detail that I recognize.

 

I'm thinking that this could be a current photo if your company would just limit employment to HAMB members only!!......Don

 

I was thinking that most 59 cars had fins? what manufacturer are you thinking of Bruce.

 

In the second picture second car from the right (next to the empty parking spot) looks like a '57 Plymouth (dark color white top).
That car at the top of the first picture is a '56 Pontiac parked next to the fence.

 

I am thinking the wagon is a 57 Chevy???

 

I'd say 1955 Chrysler New Yorker Wagon

 

Thanks for the input guys. I had said the picture was taken in 1957 before posting the question and the majority seems to agree that there is nothing newer then 57 in the photo.

 

BRAD54 =You are right, i didnt put my classes on.

 

wagon is a 57 plymouth sport suburban.

 

I think that the Plymouth fits better...rear did not jibe with the Chrysler.

 

The Cameo was only produced from 55-58, so it has to be at least 1955.

 

I'll agree with that, didn't see a pic of one earlier

 

I agree, that's a 57 Plymouth with Sportone side trim on it. No doubt.

 

I believe we have a winner. The one from the original post looks to be in a little better shape though.

 

Ya pretty sad shape, probably around 1966

 

Yup, 7 years, about the useful lifespan of a Mopar.

 

Nadster, 1966 would make it nine years, outside the range of a Ford guy to count.

Wagon is a '57 Plymouth, as is the dark hardtop with the white roof in the same picture. And it's a Sport Suburban since it has the Sportone trim.

The one in the last picture is WASTED! It's a rare nine-passenger too (spare wheel cutout in the fender that has apparently fallen off)
