Bob,
Great to see in #10681, such an alive and vibrant downtown area. This would be difficult to find today.

True, Bill.

Can we just barely see enough of the longer deck lid handle on that C-body (across the window ledge of the Chevy convertible) to declare that the Studebaker is a 1954 model and not a '53? BP

Is the taxi the newest car in that Pic?

Quite possibly, Gary...but with at least 4 Checker taxicabs and one vintage, large-rear-window Volkswagen in the photo, we'll need knowledgable people on those makes to confirm their model year, if that can indeed be done. BP

The Rambler Classic wagon blocking the view of the Lark taxi appears to be also a 1962.

'58 Starlight way down the street? Left side, behind the Checker.

Dwain, I expected you to weigh in with the exact year of the Volkswagen!

I see the car you question and agree that it might be a '58 Starlight. To me, however, I discounted it as a 1958 Ford. BP

WV's big rear window came -58, big taillights -62.

The Series 75 Cadillac is a 1961. The Plymouth Valiant is a 1962.

Used to have a few 60-62 Valiants & I'd say it's a -61, the -60 & -62 didn't have painted grills.

This great panel of tiles you can admire it in the street Tetuán of Seville (Spain), to the height of the number 9. It measures 2. 80 x 4. 60 meters, in 20 x 20 tiles. It was signed by the prestigious ceramic painter Enrique Orce Mármol (1885-1952) in 1924 at the Fábrica de la Viuda e Hijos de Manuel Ramos Rejano, using the turpentine technique.

I believe that the 1960-1961 had a vertical piece in the center of the grille and the 1962 had a round piece, as this car has. I also believe that a 1962 Signet model has a painted grille.
