Does anybody recognize make and model/year of the car in photos 2 & 3?

Thanks for looking...

My guess would be 1956 Ford Fairlane Club Sedan

That was very close, gramps. Someone on Flickr gave me this link. It's a Ford Custom Line '55.

Nice comparison with the barn in #3.

It was a weird accident while parking, officer!

Hi Federico,

I think gramps50 is correct in naming this as as 1956. I wouldn't bet on the specific model, but I would bet it's a '56. Look closely at the picture of the cop car in that link you posted. The lights right below the headlights on that car are circular, as were all '55 models. The same lights on the front of the car you shot are now more oblong in shape...I'm fairly certain that's a '56.

#3 is real nice, love the late/early light

Thank you, Tom. I think you and gramps are correct. The headlights -- not to mention the grill -- aren't completely identical either. I lost my observations skills sometime in my late 30's, lol.

Thank you, Roadkill. This one was actually shot a couple of hours before sunset, but after some tweaking in post I made it look like it was shot much later. Glad it worked
