Nice!
That cougar (third photo) looks a lot like one my dad used to own. It was a '68 two-door, lime green. I learned to drive on that car. It had a hood as long as the Exxon Valdeze.
Was this one being driven by a dog?

Was the General Lee a right hand drive. I always loved that car. Those things would shit and get. Not much on the road would stay up with them.

Another great car was the Trans Am with the bird on the hood. The would get and move, but not as good as the Dodge.

Cool ride. The old Citroen van reminds me of meeting a couple from New Zealand in the late 1980s. They had converted such a van to be a motorhome and were traveling around the world by land and sea. I ran into them on an Indian reservation in East Texas. Nice folks and adventurous, but I hope for their sakes they didn't find themselves needing a part for that in rural Texas.

That reminds me of the story of a British friend of a friend of mine who decided to drive across America to 'find' himself. But instead of renting a car, or even buying one, he got his own right hand drive Jeep Cherokee checked over to make sure it was in tip top running condition and shipped it over to California to start his trip. To his great surprise he was pulled over several times over the following weeks by astonished cops who had followed him and couldn't understand why there was no driver!

I wonder if he went through any drive-through restaurants? That would have been tricky!!

It must have been a good incentive to make sure he had a date when he wanted fast food.
