This 403 is registered by the official Dutch car authorities RDW as built in 1957. But I think it was mistaken.
This green 403 has characteristics of being made in 1959-60: note the absence of the small round indicator on the C-pillar, and the fact that this car is the economical 7CV version with the 1300 engine.
This 7CV version was introduced late 1959 when production of the 203 (with this engine) ended. During 1957 the 'cross hands' windscreen wipers were replaced by these parallel wipers.
The 403 Sept had this simple grille (without horizontal chrome bars) and no triangular ventilation windows in the front door.
Two other indications: many modifications and improvements were applied during production. For example the chrome lion bonnet ornament was removed from the bonnet late 1958 for safety reasons. And in 1959 the nozzles for the windscreen wipers moved from the metal strip near the wipers to the bonnet where they were more effective.
So I think this is a 1959 Peugeot 403. Next time when I see the owner I'll ask him :-)
In 1956 the 403 Familiale (estate), a pickup, a 3-door van (Commerciale) and a 2-door cabriolet was added to the 403 range.

The spectacular Ford Thunderbird was an answer to the 1953 Chevrolet Corvette. The Thunderbird was developed by Ford Devision inhouse designers lead by Frank Hershey.
Right from the start sales figures surpassed those of the Corvette.
The entire Thunderbird production lasted over four decades. There are eleven different generations to be distinguished.
The second generation T-Bird was redesigned by Elwood Engel. The third by Bill Boyer.
It's not clear to me who was responsible for the design of this fourth generation T-Bird.

The 204 Berline was designed by Battista Pininfarina (1893-1966) and was presented in Paris, April 1965.
It was Peugeot's first front-wheel-drive car.
A 5-door estate version was added in Autumn 1965. Finally a 3-door coupé-hatchback and a cabriolet followed in 1966. The 204 range was completed with a fourgonnette. This was in fact a 3-door estate without side windows after the B-pillar.
Once my father had a 1974 204 Berline. I remember the bad accessibility under the bonnet: it was completely filled with tubes, hoses, wires and engine parts... a disaster for mechanics.
This early 204 cabriolet was parked in front of the side entrance of the Grote Kerk in Oostzaan. Inside the church there was a small photo exhibition in the context of a local classic car meeting, which takes place every year at the end of the Summer period.

This Giulia is based on the first Giulia which was introduced in June 1962, and designed by Dr. Orazio Satta Puliga in cooperation with Giuseppe Scarnatti.
For 1974 a facelift was done for the hole range. The Giulia was now equipped with a new black plastic grille and on the rear end with a flat boot lid without the characteristic wave.
This Giulia is from the first generation.
Note the extensive chrome work.
