At the far left, the 1947/1948 convertible is just starting through the intersection, while the 1952 Roadmaster (Super?) Riviera is blocking the crosswalk where the group of gentlemen are crossing with the light. Have they just completed their three-martini lunch? Interesting that the '51 Nash, and the 1937(?) Packard managed to stop behind the crosswalk, or is the ;53 running the light? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At first, I thought there were only 2 Buicks, both left-most cars in the nearest row, but then looking up that row to the right of the '55 Olds, the DeSoto, and the '50/'49 Chevy, appears to be a '47/'48 Buick sedan (although it could be a Caddy?) hard to tell by the way the fender extension goes into the door, Then beyond the DeSoto, above the black convertible top of the 1954 Cadillac and directly below the giant slipper, right in front of the entrance to the Parisian Follies of the SILVER SLIPPER GAMBLING HALL, backed in to the space, appears to be the roof of a 1950-1954 Buick, identifiable only as to the placement of the roof-mounted radio antenna.

neil morse Posted April 9, 2020 Share Posted April 9, 2020 They should call you "Marty Sharp Eyes!" I agree that the 47/48 sedan is ambiguous, but that radio antenna is unmistakable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercury had a more curved grille edge, and different trim on the side of the hood.
