I can see a single first gen COUGAR, 8th car back, in front of the VW bug, to the passenger side aft of the Chevy truck with three occupants.  I can not see the second cat.  Is that a COBRA in front of the COUGAR?

    No, that's the real "cat" in the picture!    (I think so if I'm seeing it correctly anyway)    :o

     And that's sort of a cat, relation, a distant cousin from the families dark side nobody talks about, at least in public anyway.        ::)

Was wondering what the DeTomaso (now identified) was.

Before the upper deck roadway was added. Many think the upper deck was always there.  It was added just before the 84 Olympics.

    Definitely, not a cat, solely an impersonator!      ::)
