• As said by Baube, a 1973-80 model. More precisely, a 1973-74 one, due to style of the fender badge;
• If I'm not mistaken, this badge says that this pickup has the Cheyenne Super trim: it shows 2 words with each having a small vertical bar that projects downwards below the row. The only other trim levels available in 1973-74 were Cheyenne, Custom Deluxe and Custom..
• It's also a C-30 'Big Dooley' Bonus/Crew Cab. What's weird is that only the right side has DRW...

Not a vintage one yet but just couldn't remember the last time i saw one...
Now hybrids/electric vehicles have a green writing on the license plate instead of the blue one but it came out after the 1st gen Insight went out of production.
There is also a 1st gen Toyota Prius that pops up in my sight from time to time but i did not succeed to get a pic yet
good thing i had my camera this time, forgot it yesterday and missed a Tesla Model X and a nearly showroom condition early 1990's Chevy Corsica....

Mmmmmmm...... snow-less pics....
the first pick-up seems to be 1947-1948 only due to the lack of fuel cap behind the passenger door but our old truck expert ( more known as eLMeR .... ) surely can tell better than me
the BMW no.8 is a old 3-Series , colored bumpers came a little bit later in that generation's life.
the number 7 makes me think of a mid 80's 5-Series but not fully sure of that
El Camino could be 1970 as well but once again, not fully sure....
nice little Sentra
About the Insight, a few minutes later, the owner arrived . He told me that there was only about 700 of them sold all over Canada...
Just curious : is the mountain on the last pic the one made famous for its other side ?

The hill in the last pic is just an ordinary little hill, not Mount Hollywood I'm in a region called the "Inland Empire", just east of Los Angeles proper.
1951 Ford Country Squire? (license plate read "51 WOOD")
Chevrolet Chevelle Malibu?
1969 Chevrolet C-10
1983-84 Toyota Camry
1990-91 Toyota Camry (super clean!)
1992 Ford F-350 XLT (ladder sold separately)
1994 BMW 740i
1994 Honda Prelude
1996 Pontiac Grand Am
I wouldn't normally post 90s cars but as the years go on, and more species of 90s cars become endangered, I might as well ID them before they go extinct in the wild.

[...] the first pick-up seems to be 1947-1948 only due to the lack of fuel cap behind the passenger door [...]
1947-53 front face for sure, but the fuel filler pipe should be visible between the cab and the rear wheel arch, on a 1947-48 model.
The right door is a 1947-50 one (visible lock under the door handle) with a 1950+ vent window, so most probably a 1950 only door?
To add further confusion, the hood side badge looks a lot like a 1955 model (here's a 1953-54 one for comparison), while the hood end emblem is a 1947-53 version...
⇒ another Frankenstein's creature, with this broken/zombie bed?
Sounds indeed like a 1982-88 E28 for me too.

6. you must be kidding, right ?
The iconic Chevy Corvette .. seems to be 1965-1966 with those fender vents...
7. Makes me think of Happy Gilmore's Duster ( or related friend ) but i'm not totally sure
11. looks like an early one to me ( around 1983-1986 )
12. Could be a rare BMW M3 .. saw only 2 of those in my life, both in a vintage car exposition. saying could because it look genuine to me ( sadly with some..alterations ) but tuning can change a car...
18. 2-door Camry appeared in 1994, since this one still has the prefacelift face, would be a 1994 only
19. with those tail lights, you can say 1992 too
22. i suppose unknown is for the coupe on the left : 1998-2002 Pontiac Trans Am.. or is it for the Volks Beetle Convertible... ( sedan is 2013-2015 Honda Accord )
25. Those little things are scaring me...... since i nearly knocked one out of its spot as i thought the parking place was available and was between a Honda Odyssey and a Chevy Tahoe ( or GMC Yukon ) and had to slam the brakes to avoid an embarassing hit...

6. I'm more familiar with the 1970s+ Corvettes
12. Yep, sadly it has been molested
18. There's a rare Toyota Camry Wagon of that same generation I keep seeing in my area too, but I haven't caught it on dashcam yet
19. Ah, I thought it may have still been called the 323 then
22. Yes, the coupe. I forgot about Pontiac's later products (90s+).
Thanks, I always forget about the 2+2...

nice collection of 5-Series.. no.7 & no.11 are members of that series
4 is a Mercedes S-Class
5 is right, it is a 1985+ Camaro
9 i don't know for the GLE part but it is a 1990-1992 740 ( but not Turbo )
10 rare thing, 1st time i see one from the point of view of someone who saw it... wasn't sold in Canada, still wonder why as Québec is a hatchback-buying province..
15/16 i think they are 1992-1996/1997 ( blue one might be a F-150 )
21 is just like you said, 1991-1992 ( and a Z28 )
22 what are they carrying ? thanks for the pic but snow-less is way more fun to watch than the Sentra..
30 the Integra is a 1998-2001 , one of my uncles had one ( a red one ..he also had a 1994 green one )

#7 is actually a 7-Series [E23]
#10 it's Corolla FX, DX was a sedan/wagon trim level
#20 is a Buick Century
#26 you have no idea what a rare sight it is to see the original Sephia. The first Kias here have all disappeared. Never see them on eBay or Cars.com or Craigslist.

21 is just like you said, 1991-1992 ( and a Z28 )
22 what are they carrying ? thanks for the pic but snow-less is way more fun to watch than the Sentra..
30 the Integra is a 1998-2001 , one of my uncles had one ( a red one ..he also had a 1994 green one )
34 is a 1991-1995 Toyota MR2
#22 - Yeah I couldn't tell if they had simply lowered it in the back (I've seen people do that because they think it's cool ) or if they had some serious weight back there.
#7 is actually a 7-Series [E23]
#10 it's Corolla FX, DX was a sedan/wagon trim level
#20 is a Buick Century
#26 you have no idea what a rare sight it is to see the original Sephia. The first Kias here have all disappeared. Never see them on eBay or Cars.com or Craigslist.

#10 - I knew it was something-X, I just forgot which one.
#20 - Oldsmobile and Buick made very similar-looking cars for a few decades that it's hard for me to tell apart the twins (like Century and Ciera)
#26 - Yeah even I had not seen such an old Kia, even more suprising that it was actually running and not billowing smoke out the back. I did see a mint-condition late-80s Hyundai Sonata sedan in South L.A. a few years ago. It looked like it was fresh off the dealer lot.
