They're not just "near", they're basically "downtown by the waterfront"!

I think you're onto something, Larry.  I had discounted all those cars
because they didn't look lighter than all the obviously non-SS cars in
general.  But the "obs" you point out is noticably lighter than the rest.

I didn't know about ACME Mapper.  I like its interface better than Google
Earth itself, and the coordinates are in convenient decimal form.

On ACME Mapper, the "obs" I thought you meant is at N 26.42010 E 50.14388

What is interesting the more I look at it (which might be a mistake!) is
the car just next to it at N 26.42006 E 50.14413, which could almost be a
dome-forward dome obs like "Silver View".  Both the two lines across the
roof and the outline of the shadow seem to agree on roof contours.

We need the Google guys to go over there and do a street view of that yard.

Best regards,

Randy
