I'm surprised to see a reserved bus lane on la Côte d'Abraham (where is says "Autobus 15-18") ; didn't think they had those in the 1950's.

The ~1979 Ford T-bird is also surprising to see. Didn't think they had those in the 1950's either.

Was going to say, I don't think there's a single car from the 50's in the foreground there.

From Downtown, looking west with Pimisi, Bayview and Tunney's stations in the distance.

Pic is mid-'80s. That looks like a 1984-85 Toyota Celica or 1985-86 Honda Accord in the centre of the picture. Mid-'80s Japanese car, at any rate.
All of the other cars in the pic are older, so I'm guessing the shot can't be any older than around 1985.

Fantastic angle! Love it. The Butterfly and all the taller towers proposed / uc along Georgia and Alberni will really make this angle even more impressive.
