    That one is pretty distinct, I'm just going through my phone pictures for any vehicles in the woods. I'm sure there's more I've got and I know a lot more I've seen and just walked past.

    I'd haul some of those home. The Plymouth sedan and the International for sure.

    EDIT: Now that we know what the sedan is (Studebaker) I'd be on it like white on rice.

    How about this one. Some new pictures from today I’m not sure if I’ve posted it in the past.

    Most folks recognize the AMC Gremlin.

    Although the same basic body was used from 1970-78 but there were some changes that can narrow down the year.

    Energy absorbing bumpers were required from 1974, our subject car has them.
    In 1977 the front and rear sheet metal was revised, we can see the revised hood and larger rear window opening -- this car was built in 1977 or 78, if we could see the dashboard we could tell for sure. The 78 models had an updated dashboard that would carry on in the Concord/Spirit/Eagle cars.

    Also new for 77 was a 4 cylinder, 121 cubic inch/2 liter engine provided by VW/Audi.

    It does look very similar here to a 60-63 Chev/GMC, the truth is in the door.

    Mirror mount: The Fords used a "flag" mount that protruded through the door skin, GM used a surface mount.
    Door handle push button: GM button was in line with the handle, Ford under it.

    Engine: The aluminum fuel pump is clearly visible on the driver side of the engine - this is a Ford "Y-block" V8, 272 or 292 cubic inch. The GM engines, Chev 283 V8 or GMC V6 available in 305, 351, 379, 401 displacements both had the fuel pump on the passenger side.

    We can also see the small coolant bypass hose dead center on the front of the engine.

    Well now, there is something you don't see sitting around very often!
    1940 Studebaker, either a Commander 6 or President 8. The eight cylinder was an in line unit with a displacement of 250 cubic inches. (4.1 Liter)

    1957 Buick - someone pirated the centerpiece from the grille - and the engine...

    All Buicks came with the 364 cubic inch V8 this year, the 250 HP unit available only in the base model car with a manual transmission.
    All the upper line cars had the 300 HP version with Dynaflow automatic. This is an upper model as it has no door frame around the windows - a "hard top" in the literature of the day.
