I love the vintage color photos of these freshly finished Cobra's!

You missed one 🤓.
Looks like an Autocar (prime mover).

I'm thinking the 'Dodge or Desoto' is a '49 or '50 Cadillac.

Correct, a late model USRRC car....the only one painted red....owned by Arthur Root and driven by Spence Stoddard.  The first race that I have noted on this Cobra is Spokane, Wash., September 1964.

Raced for years by Gordon Gimbel (Cobra Performance). Now resides at The Cobra Experience museum.

Don't think it's a Mini but a Morris Minor?
