What is it.

Year & Type ?

I found this car a Few years ago in the woods
at a local State Park. Possable Farmstead Site.
Pointing downwards towards a Ravine.

Took these pics with an Instant Camera, so they are poor.

Can anyone I.D. the type & year of this Vehicle ?

by the looks of it and the seclusion perhaps you should be identifying the body not the car. J/K
I can't help you out cause I'm not that old

Does every old car meet the same fate?  While looking for yours I found this... it's NOT your car, but looks like it died from the same problem!

I'll look for a match but it looks like an old Bel air?

 

[Montana Jim]

late 40's Ford... and I'm just guessing!

Notice similarities... it's hard to tell with custom work what exactly has changed, but maybe I'll get close enough to help someone smarter than me figure it out!

 

[Jeffro]

Almost looks like a Packard, just a little off though. Late 40's. early 50's had some of the same features.... split window, straight bars on grill, rounded back end, hood with a nose on it.

But I can't find the exact same car.

Yes that looks Extremely Close Jim Except for the Windshiels & maby Front Parking Lights. Hard to say on them from the angle.

Ford sedan

Yes... the windshield, I thought maybe being a custom they might have changed that... I dunno!

how does it read on your target imaging does your discrimination not have a notch for fords? I thought Minelab was top of the line!.......he he ho ho

 

[warsawdaddy]

It has the parking lights of the '46 Ford.Starting in '47,they were small and round right under each headlight. It appears it could also be a Plymouth sedan,'46-48.

 

[Tony in SC]

It's a '46 Ford which was actually a '42 style that was halted because of the war. When the car companies went back to making cars in '46 they continued with the '42 style. Tony

Interesting find, Jeff

Also stunning, how much it in style looks like a european car of the same age !!

Here the Volvo 444:

[l.cutler]

Yeah, 46 Ford, the one in the other picture is a customized car with a one piece windshield added.

 

[silverswede]

We had a 48' Ford that looked a lot like that, so now you have a nice range of sure things to work with. Let the debates begin.

 

[EDDE]

When I was there I looked for anything on it I could Remove & take along as a Find.
There was nothing.
Not even the Glove box.
