Here is the front of a postcard my Dad sent me and an older sister from downtown San Francisco when he and the exhibit company was at a show there in early 1971. It shows a scene and various cars on Nob Hill from perhaps the late 1950's. I can identify some of the cool automobiles, but not all of them.

LOVE it! I like the late 50's Caddy under the middle canopy but can't identify the one under the canopy on the right.

A search on Google Images says it's a Jaguar Mark V Drophead Coupe from around 1950. https://www.conceptcarz.com/profile/26227,11756/1950-jaguar-mark-v.aspxLOVE it! I like the late 50's Caddy under the middle canopy but can't identify the one under the canopy on the right.

That Jaguar Mark V Drop Head caught my attention right away. My uncle Norman had one about 1950.
