Busy weekend ahead, so doing a little Thursday #DavesCarIDService: 1960 Cadillac Eldorado, and yes, original bumper
1. Corvette XP 700 concept car (1958), one of first Bill Mitchell's first projects as Harley Earl's successor at GM, and led to 61/62 Corvette design
2. Ford FX Atmos concept car (1954)
neat that these cars were still drawing crowds years later.

Really blanking on this, my wild (probably wrong) guess is early postwar Australian Chrysler. The 3 hoodlum drapes in Schott motorcycle jackets are coiffed in Pomp, Pomp, & Jelly Roll
Man, you guys are throwing some real curveballs lately. 1958-60 Opel.
Aha! Further digging says 1947-49 Opel Kapitan, and the greasers are Krauts under the sway of US rock n roll cultural imperialism. Thank you for the assist, sir
Finally an easy one, 1937 Oldsmobile
window shape and double suicide doors say 1935-6 Chevy Master Deluxe or Olds 4 door sedan. And grandma looks like she was a hoot
bumper, valence and turn lights say 1970; rear wheels are Pacer Dragstars, front are Centerlines
1953 Oldsmobile 98 convertible

1948 Norman Timbs Special, custom body on Buick chassis. Actually a very well known car, and anyone with Google Image Search could ID
Sadly, the Norman Timbs special was destroyed in California wildfires last year, I hope/trust it will be rebuilt.

1959 or 60 Lark
1960 Rambler, apparently it's Rambler Day today
