The distinguishing rear quarter script and front quarter emblem are blocked by respectively the tree and adjacent car. But the golden hub caps can be easily spotted.
I think this is a 1956 DeSoto Adventurer & 1957 Chrysler Saratoga at Wilson Lodge, Oglebay Park near Wheeling, West Virginia
The *#%$@ tree is still there...

Doctor DeSoto - 2010-11-20 4:47 PM Definitely a 57 Belvedere. The roof is Dodge-Plymouth only, and the tail lights seal the deal.

So, it IS a 1956 DeSoto Adventurer, right?

At first, I thought the other car was a Plymouth (remember, Neil?), but looking at the trim (running all the way over the front quarter) and the shape of the rear lights led me to believe it could be a Chrylser.

Looking again, it lacks the typical Chrysler wing tip, and it has the typical Plymouth Hub Caps too.

I trust you guys! It'll be a Plymouth.

Doctor DeSoto - 2010-11-22 6:28 AM Good Lord ! What's the story with the Winnie Hogg photos ???? That is one rough looking discount backlot !!!

Here's what I found:

"Over twenty years ago, the Dodge dealer in Quarryville, Pennsylvania went out of business when the owner died. Winnie Hogg must have been an odd fellow. He took cars in trade, but when they didn't get the price he wanted, he just left them to rot. There were at least 50 cars that had sat for decades, driven to the spot where they were found. A lot of them went for under $100."

and with the 1957 Dodge Coronet:

"This eccentric Dodge dealer took nice cars in trade, then let them rot if he couldn't get his price. He died in 1983 and this was the auction of cars that hadn't moved since they were almost new. That is blacktop pavement those wheels are sinking in."

A 1957 Chrysler and I'm not sure about which model.
But I guess it might be a Saratoga
