Based on what I can make out, either a 1975 Buick Skyhawk or a 1975+ Chevrolet Monza.

Pretty positive that it's a Chevrolet Monza

I've looked at pictures of both cars and they look exactly the same to me. How do we tell which one this is?

They're not exactly the same, they have different trim details. (Don't ask me what they are though)

That's right, it's a 1978 Monza Sport Hatchback.

One easy way to differenciate it with a SkyHawk is by looking at the badges on the front fenders. On the SkyHawk, they are located above the (optional) side moulding (often with a V6 badge below it), while on the Monza, the "Monza" badges are located below the side moulding.

BTW, the turbine wheelcovers on both models are very similar if not the same.

Can anyone identify the white car behind the Monza, and the black convertible in the background? They look interesting... :think:

BrentMosher420, the white car may be a 1968 Chevelle and the black one of those Opels from around 1973 that were sold by Buick.
