The green car is an Aurora Ferrari kit from the late 1950s , I don't think I've seen the other kits before.

Hey Barten! Those are some neat restoration projects. Get to cranking on them. Sounds like you are dealing with a couple cool characters. Guys like that can tell you quite a bit about this old world.

The black centre door T was made by one of the more obscure Japanese manufacturers (Doyusha springs to mind but I might be wrong). It was part of a series of stock vintage cars that were designed to spring apart like something out of a Laurel and Hardy film (hence the comic driver figure) and you could then put them back together for the next crash! They were all around 1/25 scale but some of the bigger cars were scaled to fit the box.
I know of at least one builder who has used that body to make a very decent full stock version.

The black car looks to me to be an early Revell 1915 Ford T Sedan kit from the "Highway Pioneers" series (driver included)
The fire engine I think is an early Revell kit as well, both kits look to be 1/32 scale Type in Revell Highway Pioneers on ebay , alot of different makes of old cars in the series. hope this helps

If that is 1/32 or thereabouts then Fourpaws is spot on, I'd assumed it was 1/25 size (which is what the Doyusha kits were (roughly)) but it's more likely to be a Highways Pioneer or one of the spin offs. |

The black one is originally a Gowland which was associated with Revell somehow. I'm not sure how they were but a lot of the kits were shared between the two companies. Highway Pioneers is correct for it as well. As for the fire wagon, I suspect it's of the same nature. I however couldn't find one anywhere that matched up to it but it looks like the same makeup as the rest of the Revell/Gowland type vehicles.
