How about some pictures instead of another video. You're moving around so much on this video all we get is quick glimpses and then you bounce somewhere else. Good pics of the dash, both sides of the motor, and any nameplates.

What else, if anything, is on the VIN plate? And what is the body and engine numbers?
The hubcap looks like off a '53:

That's the tag off the generator and of no help to ID the car. All I can tell you is that for the most part, generators were phased out and replaced by alternators in the middle 60s so your car is older than mid 60s. I'm still guessing 50s vintage. Take a good clear pic of the tag on the body of the car. Don't remove it. Just take a picture of it

Don't worry about your filming skills, at least you took the time to make and post the video...that's more than the guys bashing take the time to do.

It was all intended as constructive criticism and not meant in a mean way.. unlike your rude comment. And we made an effort to help him and took the time to ID the car for him. "that's more than you did"... Have a good night..
Either you don't know the definition of constructive criticism or you don't know what you posted...he had more than five seconds of useful video.

Well, I see some ruffled feathers here. lol.
Here's my guess. It isn't one car. it's something like a rat car. The hubcaps and steering wheel are from 50 vintage, but the bumpers look more 30's/40's. The tires look like the original Surbanite Pattern snow tires. From all the material laying around, I would guess it was originally stored in a shed that collapsed.

As far as the video, that was a novel approach, probably a head mount camera. You got the view of someone stumbling upon an old hulk in the woods. Not the best approach for clarity of ID, but novel. There are rules in video, but they are constantly being violated today for the sake of novelty.
An image should be framed for at least 5 seconds before moving. A turn or zoom should last 8 seconds, etc,etc,etc, And steady cam rigs are common place now in pro video. Frank five star.png
