2. 1964 Cadillac Series 62
3. 1961 Cadillac Series 62 4 window (very rare)
4. 1966-67 Dodge Charger (waiting to be discovered by “Graveyard Carz”)
5. 1964 Chevrolet Impala
6. 1978-80 Ford Grenada
7. 1968 Chevrolet Nova
8. 1965 Cadillac Calais & a late ’30’s Cadillac (Series 61?): It looks like Bill Mitchell reuniting with his patron Harley Earle

# 8 , you got it right, car is a series 61 or series 62 – hard to tell with the other car in the way and the hood up; and is a 1940 (1939 looked almost exactly the same except that there was a thin strip painted body color at the center of the grille)

Since I got here late, I would like to point out that behind the 66-67 Dodge Charger is an early 60’s Volvo 122.

#1 is definitely a 1966 Chevy, not ’65.
#2 could be a 1964 Cadillac Eldorado convertible, if not a DeVille convertible.
#3 is a 1961 Cadillac.

I think one of the reasons why number 4 remains somewhat forgotten is because its not a Dodge Charger but a late 60’s early 70,s Dodge Coronet. k

You will soon experience the wraith of the Mopar mafia. Be gracious & repent.
