Hope you're not talking about that Avanti SUV I posted Pupik, because it does actually exist.
Is that an Australian Ute behind it? The Chevy looks 1940s to me, start looking for Chev pickups of that era.
Behind in which direction?
Not sure what the teal-coloured car is, any guesses from this photo?
As for the Chevy, after a bit of searching it could be a mid-40s Chevy COE truck such as this one:
The teal car looks like a 1975 GMC, and the, 'woodie' looks like either a Ford or a Holden.
I've known about this for a while, but it's too cool to not share:
may I present the 1939 Antarctic Snow Cruiser
Length: 55 Feet 8 Inches
Wheel Base: 20 Feet
Height: 12 Feet(min)
Height: 16 Feet(max)
Width: 19 Feet 10½ Inches
Weight: 75,000 Lbs. (loaded)
Tires: Goodyear 12 ply 120 x 66 x 33½
Engines: Two Six Cylinder Cummins Diesels 150 Horsepower each
Drive Motors: Four General Electric 75 Horsepower each
Speed: 30 mph (Maximum) Range: 5,000 Miles
The wheels could go up and down, allowing the body to slide across crevices up to 15 feet wide. The only problems were the gearing wasn't correct and the tires weren't grooved, but rather smooth, thus they were never able to actually use it.
I first read about it in the Clive Cussler novel, Atlantis Found. At first I thought it was made up, but then looked online and found out it was indeed built.
Here's a picture to show how big it actually was:
