1951 Packard 250 Convertible [2431]
Inventing the Abbotts (1997)
Commander 57 USCould be a '52 as cannot make out any hood ornament.
From this angle, you could only tell by the wings on the hood ornament (pointing up on the '51's; pointing back on the '52's).

1947 Studebaker Commander Regal De Luxe [15A]
Inventing the Abbotts (1997)
Commander 57 USDynaMike is correct about the rear door stone guards, but that is only true for Regal Deluxe Commanders.
Non-convertible Champion Regal Deluxe models carried rubber guards.
1947 style rear bumper guards. Note also Commander style rear taillamp overlays. (The lenses themselves were actually one piece and made of glass.)

Nicely showcased car and well presented in the photos.
(Wish all the cars on this site could be so well depicted!)

1957 Chevrolet Bel Air Nomad [2429]
Inventing the Abbotts (1997)
juformc COAt first I thought it was a Handyman, but no. It's a Nomad, but it lacks the wings of the front mudguard. See the rear glass and the Paral door.

1957 Cadillac Coupe DeVille
Inventing the Abbotts (1997)
mrcadillac SXThe rear seat trim shows that it os NOT the Series 62, but the "DeVille", so 1957 "Coupe de Ville" (200% sure). 2009-01-04 04:06

58Roadmaster wrote A Sedan deVille?

Checking 1959 Cadillacs 6200 Series and DeVille (sub-series 6300)I see in the "collage" thumbnail that it's a 6 window sedan. So it could be a Series 62 4-door 6-window [6229K] http://motorera.com/cadillac/cad1950/1959/59sedan62.jpg or a Series 63 Sedan DeVille 4-door 6-window [6329L] http://motorera.com/cadillac/cad1950/1959/59sdv6.jpg

rjluna2 wrote
It does looks more like Two Ten Handyman than Nomad due to white color between chrome trim and I don't see 3 finger chrome on the front fender. I really don't know if Nomad series did offer small hubcap. I can't see if the pillars are slanted or straight either. Opinion? :??:

After checking Nomads and 210, let's call it as 210 Handyman 2 doors. As rjluna2 says "..and I don't see 3 finger chrome on the front fender" and that was one of the differences. See here a 1957 Nomad http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/1957_Chevy_Nomad.html and here http://www.autoclasico.com.mx/Resources/articulos/chevycar/Chevy57_06g.jpg and later a Two-Ten Handyman here http://www.stationwagon.com/gallery/1957_Chevy_210.html (4 doors) and here http://www.autoclasico.com.mx/Resources/articulos/chevycar/Chevy57_15g.jpg (2 doors). As you can see the Two-Ten doesn't has these 3 cromed fingers on its side and just near the headlights.

I have just read this from http://www.pickuptrucks.com/html/history/segment5.html "...the horizontal chrome bars on the lower grille are found only on 1941 and 1942 model trucks. The WC model designation continued through 1947".
So let's call it as 1941 WC
