AddBy: Terry Stock6th Jan 2026 3:28PMThe 4th (yellow, but unlikely true) car looks like a Ford Zephyr Mk1 produced 1950-1956.
The 3rd car looks like an early Standard Vanguard from 1947 and later.
The front ute (Commer / Hillman?) number plate is black if colourising is true. The lower dot between the numbers is consistent with the black number plates of 1951-1956. Its mauve predecessor (1946-1951) had a centre dash between the numbers. The brown successor (1956-1961) had a centre star dividing the numbers.
So, I think the photo is early-mid 1950s.
