Four cars that are all well known by any puzzler. I want to know what connects the four!

Nice puzzle.  Do they all share the same headlights and headlamp surrounds?

No, they don't share headlights as far as I know!

Is the connection something visible in the pictures?

In a way, yes

Is the connection the setting of the photographs?

Not that, but that's the closest guess so far

Nothing to do with these particular images, but the connection is not a motoring one

I think examples of these four cars appeared together in a movie.

My guess is the 1959 musical comedy "Never Steal Anything Small".

All four appear in this clip of the duet "Sorry, I want a Ferrari" with Cara Williams and James Cagney. The Borgward appears in the background in several shots, and the other three are mentioned by name.

Or I may have got this completely wrong!  ;D

Perfect answer!

The Borgward is something of a red herring as it isn't mentioned, but the connection is that they are all cars Cara Williams doesn't want in 'Never Steal Anything Small'!
