It's funny how the memory plays tricks on us. I can't seem to remember what street cars hardly anybody was driving in 1958. I do remember Jackie McLaughlin had a red & white '56 Ford F-100 p/u. I don't see that in the picture. Jackie later did have a couple of caddys, including a black Coupe De Ville, but that was a '59 that he bought used in '61, or '62, to replace his Caddy convertible that was vandalized at Flemington. (Somebody slashed the top and the interior, then smeared it with grease and excrement).

Bill Wark had a '57 Ford which is clearly visible in one of the other Alcyon pictures, but not this one.

A year or two later, Budd Olsen had a '59 Ford wagon, with "Alibi Inn" on the side, which he loaned to the speedway a couple of times to use as an ambulance when the regular ambulance was out on a run. (Budd's nickname was "Alibi Olsen" 'cause when you asked him how come he didn't win, [or what happened? - when he crashed], - he always had an alibi - so - when he opened a tavern in Paulsboro, he called it The Alibi Inn). He later had a new T-bird, (which I remember he brought over to Leon Manchester's place one Thursday afternoon, and bolted a set of Gabriel Adjustable shocks onto, set on firm), but in 1958???
