Thanks for the lock.  #6 is a mercury montery wagon, about 1956.

That's it!

MissingCarsII-9  - '57 Ford Thunderbird

Not number 9. But since you've found a B&W picture of the puzzle pic, I know what you meant. 10 is the the T-bird.

#4  That model's attire is a big clue.

#7  What's behind the cars might provide some guidance.

#9  A race car, not a hot rod.

#7 - no internationally famous prize for getting this one - just a point. (it's the left-most of the two, small, obscured vehicles)

#9 - it's a _ _ _

You've interpreted Fred's words correctly.  :)

But it's not a HSV. But this car is from down under, and has another tie-in with Channel 7

It's a JMW. Builder John Wynne can be seen in the picture with two Channel 7 dancers.
