1964 Oldsmobile Cutlass 442 convertible
If this car is authentic it's one of only 436 Cutlass 442 convertibles made in 1964. That was the year that GM approved engines larger than 330 cubic inches for mid-size cars. Pontiac immediately introduced the GTO and Chevy the Chevelle Super Sport, while Buick followed up with the Skylark Gran Sport in 1965. For Oldsmobile, it was the "4-4-2", named for the original car's four-barrel carburetor, four-speed manual transmission, and dual exhausts. Love that air cleaner!

1963 Datsun L320 pickup truck
Is that a hand crank on the front of this truck? Yes. The owner assures me you can start it by hand cranking it, just like a Model T Ford. OK then. Parked next to this truck at the Greenlake auto show was the "Sport" model of the same Datsun, with a different, car-like body and bed. This truck can allegedly haul a half-ton payload, though I'm dubious of that given the 1.2 liter engine.
