What car is this?

[RVFRick]

Our group stopped for lunch near the top of Old La Honda Rd westside. We spotted a wreck down in a ravine. Curious to know what car it is. Anyone?

I'm going with '55 Ford Victoria.

Might be. :thumbup
The big turn signals, under the headlights, are a close match. I should have taken a picture from the back.

Nope. That looks totally different

 

[buellistic]

Nope..bottom line. custom line ..
I found the same in a station wagon off of 9..
With the tree it hit still growing...

 

[Lucky Jones]

Imma guess '52 Ford Mainline/Crestline/Customline Victoria.

It's got the right headlights and location of the parking lamp below.

You can see the ghost of where the side trim was on the fender and door.

This is a fun game, but I have no idea.

 

[berth]

Are we sure his isn't one of those famous million dollar fixer upper houses we hear about?

It has some resemblance, but I think it is later than 55. I am kinda stumped. May not even be American.

Reminds me of growing up, visiting a friend, we'd ride along some levees and there was a 60's panel van and a VW squareback dumped into the weeds that had been there for a couple decades at least. At the time, they were worthless, but they could probably fetch something even in their rusted hulk state. Tho, by now, they may have returned to the earth, or close to it.

Always wonder what the stories are behind these. Nothing good, I'm sure.

that back trim on the roof looks similar. also maybe a nash? not this exact year tho or trim

 

[byke]

Probably want to match it with something that has a triangle wing window.

i think its just the trim bent down tho if you look at he end of the door its broken there. but that nash rambler has that smokers window and that rear window.

 

[byke]

Oh I gotcha, the window frame, so one with no wing window. And larger fog lights with an external bezel.

 

[CDONA]

I can't tell the size of it, no point of reference. I want to think it is bigger than the Nash
Wind wing is different over the 55 Vic and Nash

 

[Eric B]

It is bigger than a Nash.

It's "Merican", and it's not a Nash. I'm still going with a Ferd, '52 to '55. :afm199
After '57 almost all US cars went to quad headlights. Two low and two high beam lights.
Here's a '52 Crestline Victoria, door handle, headlight and parking/turn signal buckets match up to the prime example provided. :laughing

I don't know who that car was, but he certainly pissed off the wrong guys, that is a lot of holes.

Is that Fiero still at the bottom of the gulch off of Jamison Creek Rd?
