Ray, Good eye. I have to admit, I didn't look that hard.

Not being versed in any language other than bad English,I wonder what the story behind them is.

Hmmm--what is that Studebaker? I can't all the pictures to load on dialup, so only got the sideview of one. Its a Hawk--is this the 57 Golden?
I went to Babelfish and got a bad translation from the Portugese. It seems that the "collection" stems from likely the 1974 era, when Portugal shifted back from Fascism. Looking at the cars--and the speculations of the posters--it might have been 'property" of connected people of the old regime, or other assets put into hiding by divorcing soccer stars, industrialists etc etc. Lots of *RARE* (like the 504 Peugeot Cabriolet--which is nothing like a Pug 504 sedan or wagon) and but only somewhat valuable cars. I didn't notice any supercar/really exotic== no Lambo/ISO/Maserati or RR cars. One car had a "D" (Germany) sticker--might some have been stolen? Lots of significant sports cars-Lotus 7 (The Prisoner fame), Elan and Lancias, rare BMWs, and MB, Opal, Fiat, Skoda, and some North American cars, especially Pontiac, Chrysler, Oldsmobiles (like a
4-4-2?) and the like. Mixed in were some pretty middle class and upper middle class type cars--Ford Taunus, Opal Record sedans, big Lancias, MB . Interesting (to me) were the *MG Magnette* and the *Lancia Appia* sedans! Why? because they were cars that no-one collected for various reasons, and are now almost unknown and non-existant, especially the Appia!! (I know one person who found one, and he knows just how rare they are)It is an odd, very odd, agglomeration of vehicles, but I would guestimate that the cars are worth millions, some just because they survived. One Lancia Flaminia alone was quoted at 67,000 Euros value.
