Can you guess three of 30 green mysteries at Ambassador Bridge

Inspired by other recent postcard posting historian Timo Laitinen sends this one of his personal collection. It is showing The Ambassador Bridge connecting Detroit, Michigan with Windsor, Ontario and is also showing a nice selection of post-war Detroit products. Taking a closer look at the cars, the timing of the picture is perhaps summer 1953 since we can't spot any 1954 cars. Funny that so many cars are in greenish/blueish colours. It is common saying in the US that green cars don't sell, well, maybe that came up after this photo. About 30 cars can be identified. Can you get us three?
