the bottom one is Sam Viviano, I think?

the same director did a film called 'My Demon Lover' (imdb synopsis "A homeless street musician becomes a demon when sexually aroused") which would have totally had one of these posters if came out a few years earlier, but sadly it was released in 1987 so the poster looked like this:

the German poster is a little more like it, but it's still clear that the golden age was over

Good one, classic homage to the aesthetic. I hadn't realized Christopher Lloyd was still working, and then I looked at his wikipedia and holy shit he works a lot! 9 movies just in the last 3 years, though I will not be investigating their quality

Please Don't Eat My Mother! (1973)

not all that busy/claustrophobic, but it has the caricatures and it sounds like the right kind of film: Car Trouble (1986)

In the throes of a midlife crisis, a man buys a 1965 Jaguar E-Type[2] sports car and it immediately becomes his new love. What he does not know is that his wife is as attracted to the Jaguar salesman as he is to the car. The wife and lover experience penis captivus in the car after a reckless accident.
