dent

Morris Half-ton pick up?

No use crying.

I'd say "Nice truck. Well, it was"...but look at how bald that tire is.

That is a macintosh the girl is wearing - a style that was very widely sold during the mid-1950s. Rather similar material to a riding mac but a bit lighter in weight and with a tartan pattern printed(?) on it. They used to get quite dirty and the rubber lining cracked where it was folded. Generally speaking clothes were still in short supply (rationing continued well after the war) and expensive so they had to be made to last longer than we are used to these days.

The upside-down car is, I think, a VW Type 4 - see the air vents on the 'boot' lid and the horizontal light cluster. The car nearest the image is almost certainly a Ford, probably an Escort or Cortina. The hubcaps and round air-vent point towards one of these, I think. The tiny portion of car in the background looks like an early Audi.

Also the damage on the VW with the light cluster on the side nearest the footpath turned by 90 degrees might indicate the area of impact. The scrape marks and dent on the wing of the Ford could also be significant.
