CougarTim ◊ 2015-07-26 21:27	In my original assessment, I said: "1951-1952 (Dodge or Plymouth) sedan (can't see the taillights well enough and the front door is off), red 1961-1962 Rambler station wagon in the back" The sedan is much more prominent in the shot. I ruled out earlier years because the wheelwells appear squared off rather than circular. There are a couple differences between Dodge and Plymouth from this angle, most noteworthy being the taillights and the relative positions of the license plate and the trunk handles. 1951 Dodge: 1952 Dodge: 1951 Plymouth: 1952 Plymouth: Overall, I think this sedan looks most like a 1952 Plymouth. Anyone else care to weigh in?
