Shame it not in Ireland as that would make it Lake Garda.

What appears to be a Merc convoy on a German Autobahn in 1962..?

All on Zol or tourist plates so presumably export cars making for the border (or more likely Americans doing a fly-drive holiday before their cars get shipped home).

Another great vintage colour shot....San Francisco circa 1959 or maybe 1960 given that there is a '59 Caddy parked up in shot (4th from back on right side) and there's nothing obvious in shot which is a later model?
I think this is either on Jackson St or Washington St. near where the cable car museum is, given the Bay Bridge in the background?

Looks like a TR3 in the foreground?

From FB, apparently the train was stopped and waiting cars were directed past.

Not sure what it says about the Railways, but whilst the Cars are bonafidi classics... well apart from the Marina... the HST is still in front line service, even if it has got different engines.

The only Fishers Quay I can find is in Great Yarmouth, and looking at it on google maps seems to confirm it.

If you took the screengrab from closer to the lamp post, looking more to the left, you'd see the distinctive roofline and chimneys of the buildings opposite the modern block. It's definitely the right place, although some structures have been replaced, and most on the other side from your picture have had a facelift of some kind or other. I'd give it a go, but I can't do that screengrab Ninja trick, so I won't.
