Greetings all!
I Could use a little help.I'm trying to identify (year/make/model) several types of older cars/trucks.
For the first batch,you might have to be familiar with the classic film "Night Of The Living Dead" (original b/w from '68) or at least have access to it,and be willing to take a look at it
I'd like to know what Johnny and Barbara's car was,as well as Ben's truck
and if possible-the Washington D.C. official's car and the types of police vehicles near the end.
The only assistance I can provide is that I believe Johnny and Barbara's car is a Pontiac GTO?

The second batch-I can provide a link to the photo (hope it works-and thanx to Mr.Hide!)
Trying to identify the cars pulled up at the drive in theater from left to right.

The only assistance I can provide is that I believe that all of the cars would be from 1954 or earlier-as that is the year "CFTBL"was released.

Any and all help would be appreciated,Thanx in advance for your time and effort.

CHEERS! jefff

A few guesses from the last link:

2)hot pink is a ‘56 Chevy
3)probably a Chrylser
4)the tan wagon is not an Edsel
5)the black is a Ford—could be as old as ‘49
6)don’t know which year
7)definitely a 57 Chevy Nomad
8)Either a ’56 or ’57 T-Bird (my best guess is 1956)
9)Don’t know the year of the Corvette
10)A Caddy for sure—not sure of the year
11)?
12)?

4) ~60 Ford Falcon Wagon

8) I think this is a Skyline with "Thunderbird Styling (TM)" - not as sleek as the Thunderbird, but it's hard to tell by the picture.

10) Caddy El Dorado

1-black 49-51 Mercury
2-pink defnitely a 56 chevy
3-Definitely a DeSoto, 57 or 58
4-beige wagon, definitely a '59 Ford Country Squire
5-Ford, definitely a 2 door hardtop due to 3 piece rear window, could be a 50 or 51, these weren't built in 49 which was the first year of that body style.
6-Definitely a '59 Chevy, only year of horizontal teardrop taillights, 60 models had small round lights-3 for Impalas, 2 for other grades. This one is probably an Impala but can't be sure.
7-Definitely a 57 Chev Nomad
8-Definitely a T-Bird, note porthole in C pillar on roof, probably a 57.
9 56-60 Vette
10-57 or 58 Cad.

At the advanced age of 55 I remember seeing all of these on a daily basis.
