I’m not an steel wheel expert but:
– 1st : I think about a Peugeot 404 pick-up (looks like my father’s used in Cévennes countryside 😉
– 2nd : the body of the second pic is probably a Saab 96
– 3rd & 4th : absolutely no idea
– 5th: Maybe a Ford Escort Mk3?
1. Not a 404 pickup, but you’re on the right track. It’s from a French car.
