Identify the CARS - please

This link is to a photo of my Dad's Used Car Dealership. I've been going through family pictures and have a collection of his dealerships: Studebaker, Ford, and Used. This is the only color one I have, and this is such a cool era, isn't it?

Anyway, I'd like to know what all the cars are, left to right. The ones on the far end are too hard, but there are 5, starting with the wagon going crossways, that we can identify. I see a wagon, an Olds, a Chevy, a Ford, and something else, right?

The blue wagon that is pointed in a different direction than the others looks like it could be a tri-five Nomad Wagon...

Okay, here we go. Starting from the right to the left:
54 Ford Light Blue
53 Ford Light Blue
55 chevy 4 Door Pale Yellow
55 Olds 88 4 door white
55 Ford Wagon Light Blue
55 Buick Light Blue
55 T Bird Red
behind the pale yellow 55 chevy is a light blue and white 54 chevy.
Any more questions?

And to answer courthouse deb, the blue car that is pointed the wrong way,
#1, It's not a tri 5, it's a 54
#2, it's not a chevy it's a ford
#3 Nomads were 2 door wagone with slant posts and full side glass windows up until 57, after 57 until 61, they were 4 door, and were chevrolet only. Pontiac made their version of a nomad that was called a safari.

I know most cars by just as much as a park light or a bumper, or a hub cap. I have been that way since I was 7 or 8 years old. Now I am going on 42, and I have been around cars all of my life. I am a pinstriper/custom painter, and I travel the car show circuit all over the United States.

The fender of that light blue car down on the far left (This side of the red T-Bird) looks like the front of a '55 or '56 Plymouth maybe?
