Going by the angle of the input shaft of the steering box, I'm guessing some sort of cab-over-engine. The gearshift rods going forward also indicate a COE. I had a '52 Plymouth as my first car and the engine looks similar, but Pontiac also had a flathead six, as no doubt did other manufacturers of the time. When you decide on a prize, make sure you can afford to send it below the equator.
