Re: '49-'50 Eight - Kodachrome period photo

Here's some more, the Mercedes and Stutz boat tail are from a local VMCCA chapter meet in NJ in the earlier 70s. Not sure what model the M-Bs are, but imagine - 2 of them no less. Can anyone here identify them by model? - 540 perhaps? Note the Diplomatic (DPL) plates on one of them. The 23rd Series Custom 8 is mine, the only color picture I have of it, bought it in 1960 for $85, sold it about a decade later. It was taken with Ektachrome which did not prove as archival as Kodachrome in terms of color stability. Not sure what the Chrysler product is, perhaps a Plymouth - I don't believe it's a DeSoto or a Dodge. The Packard truck was photographed at Hershey, Rhinebeck Aerodrome has a similar one.
