Hi

I am new to the forum. I was wondering if any one could help me out in identifying the make of car and the year they were produced from these old illustrations I have found on an old Mobil Map from the late 1950s.

While these may be stylised versions of the originals, any clues to what make/year the pictures were based on would be a huge help. Thank you

Franky

I would say they are in decade order from 1900 through to 1960's

Fantasy cars for sure.
The last one have some clues from a big finned Imperial (58-61) with the same rear glass, but the rest of the car is completely different. Impossible to steer the wheels this way!
The second to last one has some styling clues again of 40s / 50s American cars but there was no car similar.

Wondering why would it be a big help to identify these if these are fantasy cars only?
