Gives a new meaning to the word 'noir'.

Oodles of backgroundmobiles most of which don't look like much at 498p, so there they are:

I knew I forgot something! This is a briefly seen two-star vehicle (it's a surveillance van):

1-3. All these cars are prewar, probably old stock footage. Notable is a Willys 77 Panel Delivery; the footage was reused in "David Harding, Counterspy" (1950): /vehicle_1810324-Willys-77-Panel-Delivery-1935.html
2. Distinctive grille and hood vents, maybe something unusual? - EDIT: 1934 La Fayette, pretty rare
4. Tractor with unique loader attachment
6. 1938 Oldsmobile touring sedan, same year and bodystyle as /vehicle_1811884-Oldsmobile-Six-F-38-1938.html
8. 1946-1948 Plymouth
9. (1940 Plymouth?) coupe and older sedan
12. 1940 Dodge
12-14. 1947 Chevrolet (Stylemaster?) business coupe
17. 1947 Studebaker Champion
19. Another 1947 Studebaker Champion and a 1946-1948 DeSoto
25. 1946 Buick Super (Buick helpfully put the model name right on that boss in the middle of the grille bar)

2-star surveillance van is a 1938-1939 Ford, the beltline molding is distinctive.

^ Thanks for this and listing the interesting ones!

CougarTim wrote 12-14. 1947 Chevrolet (Stylemaster?) business coupe

To clarify, these thumbs not for the white Chevy (which is listed), but for the cars around it (cropped and unresized):
12:[Image: walkacrookedmile1948bg00002650crop.jpg]
13:[Image: walkacrookedmile1948bg00002651crop.jpg]
14:[Image: walkacrookedmile1948bg00002652crop.jpg]

The general rule of my thumbs is: I post them for the smaller vehicles in the background, so you can safely ignore more or less visible vehicles in the foreground (as I have likely listed those).

Oops, I completely missed that the Chevy was listed, my bad.
12. 1940 Dodge
13. 1940 Buick
14. 1946-1948 Buick (Super/Roadmaster) Sedanet
