I'm not sure about the tank but the auto looks like a '41 or '42 Mercury. The parking lights on the fenders and badge are throwing me off. Can't see the badge clearly.

1941 Mercury Coupe
1941 Mercury Coupe...

Definitely NOT a Mercury, I think the Studebaker badge on the grille is a good clue as to make. As for year and model I would have to research it but it looks like 1939 Studebaker Champion Coupe to me.

As for the silver custom, I think it was originally built as a 1934 Ford Tudor.

There is a highly stylized 'S' on the front of the engine compartment. I think it is an early 1940s Studebaker.

I believe the "tank" may be an Alvis Scimitar Recon Vehicle. If not the Scimitar, definitely an Alvis.

You may be right. I see the Studebaker badge now.

The car is definitely a Studebaker. If you double click the download you can see the nameplate above and a touch to the rear of the right headlight.

The first car is a 40 Studebaker that has been customized, See the stylized "S" in the grill!!!
My first car was a 40 Studebaker Champion.

The tank is a Sheridan. Was developed to give the airborne troops a light tank that could be air transported. Was used in Vietnam. Believe it carried an anti tank missile as well as taxable.
