My choice would be "truck and store" and "storefront pano". To me they are relative to each other and well composed, exposed and reveal a lot of nostalgic feelings.

I like 1 and 5 best. But, as others have said, all of they meet your goal.

I think Old Stove and Storefront Closeup would have broadest appeal. Though all the images are wonderful, some depict and era so long past that no one under 50 would relate. Heck, I'm 71 and can't relate to a couple of them! To me, nostalgia is remembrance of one's own experience. Even Old Stove is outside nearly everyone's experience by now, but I grew up in very rural area in So. Oregon, and we had a similar old stove; our house had no public utility heating - wood only. We loved our electric blankets.

I like the Truck and Store as my first choice. It's the kind of subject matter I always lean towards. Second choice is the typewriter. I think the repeating patterns and the lighting make the photo, and captures the mood. But every one of those photos is excellent. Good luck!

I like #1 but find it a little dark. I most like the typewriter. The close-up of the storefront is also really good. Hard choice!

At first, I thought for sure it was number one. But as I scrolled down each of them became #1 for me.

They all bring back some form of nostalgia. I like number 6 and 8, but the decision is for the judge or judges to decide.

Very nice series of a bygone era.

They are all good. So it's a difficult choice. I pick #1 and #3.
Just keep in mind that no judge is able to completely ignore his/her personal taste, preference, and other variables. I have participated in an experiment where our submissions were judged by 3 separate panels of judges with totally different outcomes.
Good luck to you!

#1 and #6 but I would do a square crop on #1 just behind the right fender with a little of the tire showing. This eliminates the "hot rodded" look. Then crop the right side of the photo for a square image.
That said I like them all.

Truck and store

Truck and store reminds me of a place I’ve seen on 301 in S. Carolina. Not why I picked it though.
