Today's challenge comes from the parking lots at Disneyland, sometime in the middle of the last century.
See anything interesting--besides the monorail, that is?

So that's why the parking pass is so spendy these days? Subsidizing parking for miles upon miles ;)

I see a Light blue Rambler American (Lower right corner), maybe a 1963 model. We used to have a white one.

Pic #1....Is that a 61 Tempest or F-85 in the right corner?

Aw, why can't we talk about the monorails? :D They have rubber tires, so in my book, they qualify as cars worthy of car lust, rail or not. Besides, the Mk II ALWEG Monorails were flippin' gorgeous!

Is that a green Porsche 356 in the lower left corner of the second picture? That qualifies for father of the decade; taking the Porsche to Disneyworld. What could that kid’s 16th birthday be like, Paris and French prostitutes?

Second photo, just below dead center, is a two-tone (dark green over mint) Studebaker, either a "Loewy coupe" or an early Hawk.
