Supposedly it's a 1963 and I agree that it looks like the head of the robot Maid from the Jetsons!

inside view, ended up with the later ford v4 engine as the 2 strokes weren't powerful enough...well that's a surprise! only two were made but both survive.

I think the car on the far right is a '59 or '60 Lincoln? Tail light lenses don't look right though.

And what is the gray, 4-door sedan on the left? Confused

Thanks to Rene R. for posting this photo.

I saw this in the other thread and thought about brining it over here, too.

I think that grey 4 door is an Opel Olympia, or Rekord. Not sure on the others.

oldsmobile fits the number of letters across the boot lid of the left car but google is suggesting amc ambassador? I think the car to the right might be a lincoln capri...

This one would appear to be a 1965 AMC Ambassador.

Good call on the Ambassador. I was leaning toward a Plymouth. I'll take the low hanging fruit ... white 2-door post would be a 1964 Buick Special.

I’m posting this here, just because it may not be VW based.

I thought it was leaning more towards the 1960 Thunderbird, but there's some Vette mixed in too.
