West Peterson Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The Corvette is a '58, and appears to be the newest car there. The MG is a TF series. The Chrysler product in the back looks to be 1958 as well, or perhaps a '59 DeSoto. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted August 28, 2008 Share Posted August 28, 2008 The black one in front of the TF looks like an Aston Martin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the visible badge on the trunk fits with an Alfa. Also it would be in the same racing class as the MG TF. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted August 29, 2008 Share Posted August 29, 2008 That "trunk badge" is pretty thick....almost looks like a LUCAS license plate light. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note how thick the disc- and/or globe-shaped badge is (actually it's the trunk lock cover), and how high the license plate and topper sits. Now look back at the photo. You can see the license plate and/or topper sitting at the same height, well behind any area that could be lit by that trunk badge. I'm fairly certain this is an Alfa.
