Gotta be British (not the dawg), but it looks like San Francisco.

Sunbeam Alpine??

Yes! In LA, famous Chateau Marmont in the background.

All other vehicles look American, including 2 Ford trucks.

I'm no US car expert in the slightest, but there are potentially 2-3 interesting cars to me in the picture. Heading the the left looks like a Chevrolet Corvair, and in front of that is that a Mustang fastback?

Heading the other way, need help here, is that an early 1960s Edsel?

I think the dark car above the driver may be a Plymouth Valiant. I agree there may be a Mustang.

No idea, but quite the car. Still can't get over how small the passenger cabin area is so small relative to the front and rear in cars of that era.

Back end fins look like an Impala from the late 50's, but a 4 door pillarless car. The front does not look at all familiar though.

Good find Matt!

Is it a ford galaxie? Possibly MY61

I thought it may be a Ford too of that era, but I couldn't place the front end or wrap around rear glass. Maybe a custom or prototype/show car?
