It looks a lot like a late 1940's Pontiac clock. How big is it?

That car definitely needs some TLC!

"1930 Renault Nervastella. Equipped with a 4.2-litre eight-cylinder engine that develops 24 horsepower. This hunting car was ordered by Mr. Astor, owner of the Waldorf Astoria hotel in New York. With colours inspired by the work of Salvador Dali."

Further confirmation of the old saying that "Money can't buy taste."?
Francisco Carrion makes the definitive I.D. in that Old Motor link, in the comments section.

Going strictly by that just-out-of-focus hubcap, possibly a Gardner? It looks like several photographs were taken that day that can help identify the Shovel as a Bucyrus, and the flappers/models were apparently on loan from Keystone Studios mogul Mack Sennett's "Bathing Beauties" harem.
Naturally, I couldnt find any that show details of the car- apparently, it wasnt ready for its "close-up"!

Looks like a Jno Brown generator for a Model "T" Ford.

Not a Ford. 1934 Dodge.

I can’t identify the car but I’ll bet that horse is thinking “...not again!”
And every so often some enterprising ner'do-wells meticulously maintained that nearby mudhole as a bottomless "money pit"! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b54hl_1msMY

I will file this under "Local Boy Makes Good!".
James Whiting built his cars for 3 years- 1910-1913, in the old Flint Wagon Works factory in Flint Michigan but his real claim to automotive fame (besides helping to form the aforementioned Flint Wagon Works in 1882, the genesis for ALL vehicle manufacturing in Flint) was buying a struggling company started by a machinist/plumber/inventor in Detroit (David Buick) and relocating it to Flint in 1904. This Buick Motor Co. was the basis for his pal Billy Durant to form a conglomerate of various manufacturers into a new company called General Motors. When Whiting's automobile company ultimately folded, Durant quickly retooled his vacant plant to introduce another newly-minted automobile venture to hopefully take on that Ford behemoth downstate that he called the "Chevrolet".
In downtown Flint today there is a Whiting Auditorium building in the Cultural Center where the Sloan Summer Fair antique and classic car show is held every year. Across a nice little tree-shaded plaza, and directly facing "The Whiting" sits the (Alfred P.) Sloan Museum. Inside the museum is a 1910 Whiting runabout. It might be the only example of a Whiting left(?).*
This Whiting is another example of the hundreds of odd-ball makes that popped up in those halcyon days of the early 20th century and built a few vehicles, then vanished. Unlike many other attempts to build a profitable automobile business, this one had the backers, the manufacturing capacity and people running it that knew what they were doing, but it just didn't catch on, making it a mere footnote in history and a photographic puzzler to stymie all but the most dogged automotive sleuths. GOOD CATCH VARUN!
* its not. The Fountainhead Museum in Alaska has one too.

The Van in front of the "59 Chev" seems to have a distinctive triangular window behind the front door.
Seems like perhaps a 65-66? Chevrolet Sportvan.
Can you scan or post at a higher resolution?
Well, that certainly looked better in photoshop...

They are coils but I don’t know what applications. Seems Ford liked using that mounting style so maybe Lincoln???
1936-'48 Lincoln V-12 coil(s).

Oh....you mean the double exposure?
It looks like a still frame out of a Stan Midgely travelogue film! (the funniest film-maker who ever appeared on "George Pierrot Presents", Sunday afternoons on WWJ-TV/ WDIV, channel 4, Detroit Mich., in the 1960's).

Not motor vehicle at all, one of a pair from a hand cart, possibly WWI Army surplus.

It looks like a badge from an NSU owners club, or possibly a dealer. By that mounting configuration was most likely made to go on front-mounted accessory "badge bar", apparently with as many other badges as you could fit on it!

Scrap Aluminum. New ones are cheap, R134a compliant, and come with a warranty. Somebody changed those out for a reason!
