That's cool - aero car toys! The yellow one though, appears to be facing the opposite direction (check the steering wheel). It looks good the way it is sitting, and the other cars are fine the way they are.
The guess that a pointy front end was needed, was un-learned quickly!

The first and the fifth are both reversed, compared to the middle three. I've got the Texaco Doodlebug in die-cast, but no camera.

Yes a side door, and the bug eye headlights were really cute too.

You could just say EM to avoid confusion.
Randy Grubb, well that explains it. It's the Blastolene Brothers.
