I found these images of some old american, or at least I think it's american, cars.
I don't know what cars they are, when they were made, what engines they have...
Please help

The 3rd 1 is a BMW, not sure what model though, nor what the other 3 are.
I want to die in my sleep like my Grandma, not screaming like the other 3 people in her car.
There are 10 types of people in this world. People who understand binary and people who don't.
Thanks, that's a huge help.
first two are Edsels, the BMW is a 503, and the forth I think is an Oldsmobile (not sure, no access to my standard documentation right now)

Well, the maker's logo is right on the hood: Ford. '53 Crestliner...
Never own more cars than you can keep charged batteries in...

The pictures of the Edsel have "Edsel" written on them, is it that hard to guess what they are?
All about the t-tops
4th photo i believe is a 1953 Crown Victoria Hardtop
No worries Henk, it also sort of looks like a '54 Hudson, which copied some lines. That coat of arms on the hood was Ford's "badge" up to the 1970s, when it was dropped for the simple blue oval, though I think it was used on some full-sized models up to the 1990s... not sure.
The Crestline is the Crown Vic (but Ford didn't call it that until later), sold as "Crestline Victoria", pillarless hardtop bodystyle 60B; 128,000 were built. 1953 was last year of the 110HP flathead V8... OHV was available from then on. Mainline and Customline were pillared sedans or coupes with less deluxe trim. The equivalent Mercury was the Monterey hardtop which shared basic tooling.
Interesting ad copy compared to todays approach... a Ford drives you?

Mainline, Customline and Crestline denoted the 3 different levels of trim. Crestline was the top level trim and included (for 1953) Sunliner Convertible, Victoria Hardtop and Country Squire Station Wagon. Indeed tho the addition of "Crown" wasn't added until 1955 when the chrome roof divider was first used so my bad there, my intention was only to give a full title rather than just trim level.

our Mainlines were a bit different...
(the Mainline badge was used for the ute bodystyle)
