Mystery about a car club plaque... anyone know what Far ELA meant for the "Rakes" Car Club?

Keeper of the tribal knowledge, Bill Junge, webmaster of the 6500 car club plaque photos at http://www.relicsandrods.com/carclubplaques.htm   has come across this mystery and wonders of anyone can help .

This is a test of the emergency memory system... It was the "WKRP in Cincinnatti" TV show opening moment. Can anyone identify the type of car?

Mark got it as an MGB

It it is a MGB. I got the TV show right away, but because it started in 1978 I guessed cars from that era and my first (very uncertain) guess was a Fiat Spyder. Then, after exchanging e-mails with Jesse, I started thinking that maybe the car was a lot older than the series. I went straight to British Leyland and thought any Triumph (including the Spitfire) from the TR4 to the TR6 because I knew that they came with a wooden dash. I even suggested a Midget or Sprite, but frankly I have never seen an MGB with a wooden dash so I discounted it. I was wrong. There are plenty of MGBs with such dashes on the net. Jesse was, I think jokingly, peeved when I got the show. He said he made the clue too easy, but I don’t know how many others came up with the answer. MWindham

Kelly is curious about cars in her family's really old photo albums, can anyone identify these cars? If so, please use the comment function, or email me directly so I can thank you proper, and credit the correct people!

Nancy and Dennis were first to respond with "The first one is a home built body, not sure of the make. Second, both are post war GM, one in back is '47 Chevy. Third and fourth, '47 Chevrolet Fleetmaster and it was Easter. Fifth, definitely not a Ford! Might be a Plymouth. Last is a '41 Ford Super Deluxe with a lot of aftermarket accessories. Fog lights, bumper ends, headlight visors, spotlight, radio antenna on fender (stock is above windshield)."

 I think the car on the right is the same as the car below in the front, and rear view photos. Tom says the car on the left looks like a 41 Chev

 Just a guess that the above and below are the same car

Robert commented "2nd pic, car on the left looks like a 41 Chevy, the 4th pic looks like a 37 Plymouth"

 above is likely older than 1937, that is the year Fords started putting the headlights half into the fenders

I'm pretty sure the bottom one is a 1940 Ford Super Delux

Several people identified these late 1920's early 1930's cars as Hotchkiss (French manufacturer) Jon found this photo in a family photo album, and wondered what they were

Francis was first to identify them,

Iain learned that the plates were London registered:  by this list -

A quick look at the dvla site suggests the numbers are no longer on those cars.

Ivan knew that the car company was French, HOTCHKISS. Benjamin Berkeley Hotchkiss.

Tire Van knew that the cars are running on Dunlop triplestud tyres!

Jean-Frederic was the most recent of the correct answers, and that is the list of people who knew what they were and emailed me...

The badge in the grill is easy to identify once you've seen it

thank you all!

Hot Rod Deluxe photographed this mystery car on Bonneville, the tail looks like it was a truck hood, great mod to individualize your hot rod!

maybe it's from a Crosley?

Car collector extraordinaire Bruce Meyer defines the acronym CSX as Carroll Shelby Experimental

That is what I thought it was too, but after reading Shelby Cobra Fifty Years, the author Colin Comer, expert in Cobras, defined CSX as Ace car company 3rd series (a =1st b=2nd c=3rd) S was for Shelby, the customer... and X was for export.

So, what is the right definition? I'll have to get the Shelby company, or the SAAC to let me know, and settle this.
