[http://picasaweb.google.com/EnrightMcC/McCormickFamily5864#5252007825625156834](http://picasaweb.google.com/EnrightMcC/McCormickFamily5864#5252007825625156834) There are two cars in the above linked photo. Sorry, one is only partially in view, so it might be tough (if not impossible). Can any of you car enthusiasts identity the make and model of these cars? ---

The visible one is a 1958 Olds 88. The invisible one is a 1951-1954 Ford. With that little chrome it’s probably a Mainline. ---
