Anyone know what this is?

i keep thinking it may be a Mercury

Early Mercury's are great cars for lines.
But none had the grill like that one. Here is a 53 Monterey.

​Well beyond rotted. Farmers never throw anything away. These two old maidens are nestled next to the barn where I park my package car.

You're good, I think the one looks like maybe a 57 Buick Century? The 59 Chevy Biscayne guess looks good too. I have a lot of farms on my route that have old pick-ups sitting out in the field that look like they didn't start one day, so the farmer went to town and bought a new one. They didn't seem to trade them in, they just kept them and parked them out in the field.

The Buicks always seem to have those holes in them.....

Must have been quite the ride in its day.

appears to be a '49 judging by the"fins". some say this car started it all.

 

[texan]

I had to rotate it for a better look.

With some work, it could look like this.

Ok auto buffs. Where is the filler cap or where do you put the gas on a 49 Caddy?
