White car at 38 looks like a Borgward to me.

One at 0:53 does look like an MG Magnette:

Well done Bill. Clearly it is a Borgward.

And I believe the other white car is an MG, however, rather than a Magnette I think it is an MG 1100.

Yeah, car at 0:53 does look more "hatchback-like" style. Couple of exotic cars, for that time. Must be in Hollywood.

Thanks gents. I never owned one, but I liked the styling of that particular Isabella.

Great catch. Honestly, I tossed that out to at least 80 people outside this community and you are the only one to nail it. I never would have thought it was from a German manufacturer.

I’ve never personally seen a Borgward Isabella, but from photos it kind’a reminds me of a stretched Karmann Ghia.

Or maybe a Kaiser Nash that someone stepped on.

In any case, for us Older Vintage folks the videos are surreal. It is as if they used modern technology to insert every model of vintage car into this video, just to torment us.

Dave,

I can't believe you didn't mention the light blue MGA parked in front of Angels Corner Liquor at 21 seconds.

Sorry, I just read your first post. You did. I should have known.
