Early '70's 2.0 Litre sports racers.

The front car is an Abarth powered Osella PA1, and the car behind it is a Lola T290, likely Ford powered, although many ran other engines, including BMW's.

I thought that too, but they look a bit small for that. Maybe in one of the tail fins above the lights.

Probably not like my old '65 Impala that had it behind the plate.

The left tail light/ reverse light flips up.

A company I worked for had a "57 limo. It took me forever to find it the first time I drove it.
