I sharpened the image somewhat. Is that a 63 or 64 Chevrolet, farthest right in the photo and partially hidden by the crane's boom?

I'm not as familiar with U.S. cars as most on this platform, but my gut instinct tells me that the two-tone hardtop second from top left in the lot or Mercury estate-looking white car in the centre lowest in row third from left of picture, look more like '65 / '66 to me.

I was thinking what looks like a dark colored Corvair in the middle is at least a 65.  👍

Looks to me like a 71/72 Ford/Mercury Wagon in the parked row.

@carsman1958 That's the one I was looking at John.  I know the Mercury only from it being my favourite Matchbox toy, below (not mine pictured) Which I would have had I reckon about 1969 - but do not know how recent the tooling would have been.

....I'd say Mercury station wagon also; the earliest year it can be is 1967.

After doing a little more research, I would have to agree that the Ford/Mercury wagon is more like a 67/68 maybe a 69.

The Dodge D300 stake bed truck is either a '66 or '67.  The Corvair could be a '65 to '69, and the wagon in question looks most like a 1968 Ford Country Sedan to me.

Tony, you're right, you have a 1963 Impala near the crane.

Hold on! Top left of the photo. Tree-lined street. Directly under the very furthest tree - a bright red 1972 Corvette with white, no, wait - light tan interior!

@perrone1 is that a BeeGees eight track cassette next to the 4 speed stick shift?  🥴

...actually, I can see now (looking real close, upper left ) that it's at least in the late 1970's/ early '80's.  Note that Mustang, Chevrolet & Oldsmobile.
