It looks like a Mini, but is it one? |

Yes, old Mini, probably Austin, followed by an ADO16, again probably Austin 1100, Mk.I, an Volkswagen, probably 1200, and a Triumph TR4/TR5. |

Note in this pic that the hood is missing on the old Caddy limo. |

It's so rare to see original Minis in the U.S. , because it's more common seeing them in Canada... |

Minis were launched in US in early 62 as Austin; not sure if Morris used as well. Reference this auction description of the Austin Beach Mini - http://www.bonhams.com/auctions/21917/lot/233/ ".... between December 1961 and March 1962 ... 13 cars went to the United States as dealer and distributor promotional vehicles to promote the North American introduction of the new Mini." |
