I like the 1946-48 Kaiser almost in the middle, between 1947-48 Chevrolet and the 1949 Chrysler. :D Not far from the Austin in fact!

I wonder how colored was this parking actually.
Were all these cars dark in colors close to this B&W picture, or were there lots of colors like what you could find on a parking in the 60s/70s?

For comparison here is a nice shot of the parking lot at the Hanover Trade Fair of 1950:

Though it's very blurry, I think I could identify some of them, what I cannot on this picture of "L'ennemi public" :D

If at least the car listed was one of the most visible...

This picture should really be in the comments page, it's plain ridiculous to list a car park full background cars.

it's your opinion, mine is different and you should mind about your value judgment please... who are you G-Mann?

As long as you don't post dozens pictures highlighting every car in the lot.

All right, I've remembered this is a bit of a joke. What this picture does make you realise is how similar a lot a cars looked in the 40s and 50s.

Not nearly as bad as today where most everything looks like a the same gum drop. Actually, many of the cars in this pic can be identified as to make and year (model may be a little difficult :lol:

Even with recent cars you could identify all cars of the parking. Even if their style is similar they have enough differences (except maybe for those where only the make label changes, e.g. Dodge/Chrysler etc.)

Pas une seule Lincoln ou Cadillac. Tous des modèles plus que courant. On dirait un parking d'usine.
Une seule Hudson, une seule Kaiser. De plus une seule avec pneus à flancs blancs.

Pour la foire de Hanovre en 1950, il y a beaucoup de DKW d'avant guerre.

Il a quand même 3 Studebaker bien visibles, dont un Starlight Coupe… :)

Oui, au dessus de l'Hudson, derrière ce qui doit être une Dodge.
