The car in the rear is a 1969 Buick Sportwagon (also spelled Sport Wagon by Buick), the Vista Cruiser's glass-roofed cousin. The car in the front next to John Wayne clearly is a full-size General Motors "clamshell" wagon, either a Chevrolet, Pontiac, Oldsmobile, or Buick. From this angle it's impossible to tell which make, since all offered that color (bamboo from Oldsmobile) and all offered identical luggage racks on those models. The clamshell wagons were available from 1971 to 1976, but since this film was released in 1974, presumably this wagon is a 1971, 1972, 1973, 1974, or possibly even 1975 model.
