    Kind of funny how different vehicles were more popular/prevalent in different regions.
    The square body was popular here in this region of Washington, but I'd say that the Ford pickups of the same era outnumber them by two to one.

    Making a huge generality here.....

    In the 70's.......
    If you were more interested in STYLE, you bought a Chevy or GMC pickup.
    If you were more interested in a pickup that WORKED, you bought a Ford pickup.
    If you were not interested in either of those things, you bought a Dodge pickup.

    OK - sports car, to the right of the Pinto wagon. I don't recognize it.
    - It's NOT a Triumph Spitfire or TR4, TR6, etc.
    Maybe some kind of larger Fiat or Alfa that was not usually imported here?
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    EDIT: OK, right after posting this, I took a better look at the car in the photo, and wondered if it could be an older Renault Caravelle? Comparing the two vehicles in the images, they are similar, but not the SAME.

    Well, that's closer than the Renault Caravelle I posted, but I'm still not sure it's actually a Triumph Spitfire. For one thing, the lower rear body panel on the 'unknown' sports car is RECESSED, while the Mark 1 Spitfire's lower rear body panel isn't.
