I did see it but not closely enough to see the wood body. Guessing that's a 'town and country'. Good eyeballs there Lanny!

There's a '50 Bel Aire hardtop and a Hudson coupe in the picture too. Maybe the Hudson is a Hornet with "Twin-H" power"!

I have been to Gene Scott's yard in Irwindale, Ca when I was a kid looking for '30 A cabriolet parts before I even bought my cabriolet, and bought some parts there too.

Stacks on - Australian used car Junk Pile. I can spot a 39, 50, 53 & 54 Fords plus British Ford Consuls and a Ford Prefect. A few Holdens thrown in for good measure.

Is that the '41 Ford 4 dr. on the second floor, facing the crane ?

Looks like a '41 Ford back to back with the one facing the crane.
This one has a grill guard.

Lanny, I think the car that you are referring to is a Chrysler Product. The car above is a Kaiser/Frazer and a Packard on top of that one.
