geogphotos Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Thought to be Port Antonio, Jamaica. This is 1970. A mix of British and US cars - do you know the type/name of the big American car in the foreground? Thanks Edited February 2, 2021 by geogphotos Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlbertSnapper Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 It might possibly be a Chevrolet Impala. Search for those and see what you think. This is similar. https://www.carandclassic.co.uk/car/C1138024 Yours for £84,000 ! 😃 I reckon Wim will know what it is... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malcolm Park Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Second right: Austin A55 Cambridge? 3rd from right, indistinct due to small scale, possibly a Ford Zodiac Mk IV. Sorry, just noticed, you only wanted the US car! Edited February 2, 2021 by Malcolm Park excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

spacecadet Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 (edited) Deffo Chevrolet from the badge I think. I think the A55 could also be a Morris Oxford- same car rebadged. I think you can only tell them apart from the trim. And name badge. Edited February 2, 2021 by spacecadet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AlbertSnapper Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 Chevrolet Impala 4 door sedan, from about 1962 ! Put that in to a search engine and it seems to be what is in your photograph. It is parked outside an Avis car rental place too in your pic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one with the sharp tailfins. That's how you learn. 😂 1962 is spot on. So we're in Jamaica? wim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Nacke Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 I would say that it is a 62 Impala. Chuck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NYCat Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 We had a Lincoln Zephyr when I was a child in the 1940s. We were hit by a jeep once. Fender came off the jeep. Tiny dent in the Lincoln Zephyr. I can't imagine that we had a car that was considered luxury so must have been an old, old one. Paulette Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Mitchell Posted February 3, 2021 Share Posted February 3, 2021 (edited) As Chuck said, it looks like an early 60's Chevy Impala. Lots of those around when I was a kid. They were very nice cars. The biggish, boxy blue car in the background looks like it might be a Studebaker (made in Canada) or Rambler (extinct), but really hard to tell.

geogphotos Posted February 3, 2021 Author Share Posted February 3, 2021 Okay thanks to all for all the car stuff. Port Antonio? I think so. I really like the photo and the accidental compositions of people - woman on balcony etc How amazing that a person pressed the shutter of a camera at this exact split second time of history.
