On the far left of this photo, just in front of the rescue, is what appears to be a Ford from between 1952 & 1954 (all essentially yhe same body), and above that, at the intersection, is a '57 Ford. Also interesting in this photo (at least to me) is one of the few pictures I've ever seen of FDNY's Flxible Ambulance #1 at a fire. It's in the block beyond the fire, on the opposite side of the street from the 52-54 Ford Chief's car. Caption says it was a 7-alarm fire on March 27 in the loft district. Anyone know what year?

And another one from 1940. Not sure of the make, but I'm guessing it's a Chevy:

No date, (definitely NOT 1936 as the caption says) but appears to be a 1939 Ford:
