Definitely no Superiors there! Photo #3 is a '74-'76 S&S Victoria 3-way with some very unfortunate aftermarket body side moldings.

#3 looks like an early 70s Superior Cadillac 3-Way, I can't really tell the year.

very close and my first guess. but superior did not paint there landau bars body color. the shape says 70's and as there is not a bulge in the quarters but a smooth roll it would have to be that 74-76 body. but it's only a guess nothing I would bet my next months "entitlement" check on. along with the last one be a Dodge Brothers chassis
 
Thanks for the correction, in any case I love seeing pictures of previous generations standing proudly next to their professional cars.
 
not a correction just my guess and why I did so. I to enjoy these car in service pictures a lot more then the show room shots. it keeps reminding you that these were working cars and a source of pride for their firms. as we get on to over restoring them and adding options they never had we need to be brought back to reality a few times .

The Olds is a '64 C/B Cotington Landau, while the Cadillac is a '74-'76 Superior Sovereign Landaulet.
 
I hate it when people get in the way and mess up a perfectly good photo of a car!! Lol A little embarrassing when I have a '75 S&S Victoria sitting in my own garage! Rear roof line still looks very S&S, but it is definitely a Superior(with ugly aftermarket body side moldings!).
 
Side molding on Superior though dreadful is to economy from some kind of collision. The molding came in a roll for cheap money the Superior moldings were quite pricey. There were much more tasteful moldings available but then again there is no accounting for taste.
 
Oldsmobile is 64, I had a 65

I had a 65 CB limousine and it was a totally different body style. I'm almost positive that this is a 64 by CB , would somebody else please confirm this. Oldsmobile made a radical change in body style between 64-65.

Rick Franklin is a good authority on professional cars, however, I wanted you to have the most accurate information to identify the Oldsmobile.
 
here is first a 63 next a 64.
