I haven't a clue about any of the Japanese pick-ups, they all look like the Toyota Hi-lux that Jeremy Clarkson tried unsuccessfully to destroy on Top Gear. Of the others, the yellow Hyundai is based on the original rwd Hyundai Pony of the mid-80s, a car which should have been strangled at birth, the red Zastava is based on the Yugo/Zastava 311 of the same period, which was even worse in spite of being descended from the Fiat 128. The large pick-up is a Mercedes Unimog, it looks like a 60s model and has a fabulous off-road performance that makes a Land-Rover look tame
As for the cars, the Mercedes looks like a late prewar 170, the blue coupe is a Toyota Celica from about 1980, and the Fiat 124 was made from about 1966 to the mid 70s; if it had known it would end up as the Lada it would probably have gone and hidden in a corner until the danger was over
Btw, if you are using Imagecave, you can reduce the pictures to a more manageable size by going to 'modify image' set the width at about 600 and keep the aspect ratio.
