I thought this may be an interesting lift, but my cell phone came out wee bit blurry. But I managed to find this:

It's said, that two classic cars were destroyed, but there's only one to see:
https://www1.wdr.de/nachrichten/rheinland/brand-siegburg-reportage-100.html
Some US-car from the early 50ies.
About the incident: a fire directly nearby the ICE railway line Cologne-Frankfurt Airport, probably caused by sparks. Or broken glass. Or a cigarette.
In Germany we have unusual drought and heat up to 40 degrees since some weeks.

I believe this is 1955 Ford.
I see you found Sport Coupe body style. Too bad I can't tell if this is V8 engine or not due to missing badge at the boot.

Oops, didn't look at the license plate frame.
I saw a white 1981-85 Chevrolet Impala sedan merging onto I-215 north this afternoon. It had its original blue/yellow CA license plates too. It was a bit beat up and missing a couple of hubcaps but hey, it was being driven. Usually you only see the 1986-90 Caprices, never the earlier Impalas. Wish I got a pic of it.

Today I saw this mock "LAPD" AU Falcon, for upcoming Paul Hogan comedy film "The Very Excellent Mr. Dundee" (US/AU co-production):
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt8560172/
I'm assuming that it's going to be filmed entirely in Australia. The car had a fake steering wheel on the left side. The paint job appeared to be very cheaply done when looking at it close up. It had phony CA plates on it, which they took off and replaced with Victorian plates after the filming was over.

I didn't know you liked those, night cub.
Chevrolet - I can't remember what the emblem on it showed
Volkswagen Fastback Sedan?
Chevrolet Suburban (year range?)
1972 Ford LTD Country Squire - appears to be a true California car, despite the rust hole on the hood
1973 Chevrolet Caprice Classic Convertible
1978 Datsun B210
A 9-year-old me in 2001, but I remember my neighbor having that old 50s car back there on the right - anybody know what it might be? I've always been curious.

I'm back!
Recently cleaned up my iPhotos, and was on the lookout for the rarest, most unusual car I could find (that I haven't posted yet) Trying to not post cars that were common then and rare now, which is kinda hard - I'd post tons of 80s and 90s Mitsubishis, Toyotas, Kias, Mazdas and Hyundais here otherwise.
These were already a very slow seller when they were, I don't ever recall seeing one on the road here:
Pictures taken in October 2010, when there were still a lot of 80s and 90s cars on German roads.
Only six of these on the site...
Don't know about the US, but in Germany this whale is extinct:
Yes, they had a short market presence here, but compared to Hyundai and Kia they were absolute junk:
...and a little something for tonkatracker:
The three above pictures were taken in July 2011.
Berlin taxis are usually E-Classes or Tourans, but sometimes...
On the airport, on my way to Tallinn I even saw a big 80s FWD Caddy as a taxi! Didn't photograph it though.
Picture taken in June 2015.

Apparently a short bed, meaning a ½-ton model. The emblem should then be 3100. 1951 only model, due to the 1947-51 door handle and the 1951+ door vent window.
@rjluna2: The vertical black parts in the egg-crate grille could also indicate a 1970 model
