The American myth of the wealthiest country in the world takes quite a blow, with most of these pictures
First impressions about some pictures (which need of course confirmation by people more familiar with these cars):
Weird landscape. Taken from a post-apocalyptic movie?
1970-73 Chevrolet Camaro RS / Rally Sport, as (almost) already said by Baube. Clues I see here are the bumperettes on each side of the grille and park lights beside the headlights.
But if the picture was shot in the 1970s, how can a car rust that much in such a short time? I know that cars from the late '70s / early '80s were said to be sold "with rust as standard option", but I never heard that from cars of the early '70s. Or maybe is it "just" a burnt car?
This said, polluted atmosphere in the big cities is not "steel friendly": I remember seeing some parts of my motorbike starting to rust 2 or 3 weeks after my arrival in Paris, in the early 1990s...
My first idea was a Mopar car from the mid-'60s, as I focused on the "Landau" roof which I often associate to Chrysler's production. But it's a Dearborn car, a 1966 Ford Thunderbird Town Landau
1978-82 Toyota Tercel 2-door sedan (de)?
As said by Baube, something like a 1979-85 "Elrivado". Clearly not an Eldorado, due to the taillamps. I would say a Toronado rather than a Riviera. With the 1984+ Caliente trim (see the "opera window" frame)?
No better offer than Baube's one, i.e. a 1984-87 Tempo with the 1984-85 taillamps
1975-84 Toyota Corolla 2-door sedan?
1978-88 GM A/G platform for sure. But Oldsmobile Cutlass Supreme, Pontiac Bonneville or Buick Regal / Century? Whitewall tires and chrome trim could indeed more likely "betray" an Oldsmobile...
