    It's a '56 Imperial, and it looks like some trim (including taillights) may have been shaved, it's lowered, and the hubcaps differ from the originals. All the trim that remains is original to the model.

    This may be the stupidest question ever, but... what is it? I know its a late 50s Mopar but exactly what year and make and model is it?

    This car is typical of what might be seen when I was groing up on the East Coast in the "Fifties." Conservative time, conservative town.
    Just a nose and deck, slight lowering (usually on a rake), change the hubcaps, and everybody knows your name!

    Mine is on it's way there! Long term plans are to french the lights, shaved rear taillights, and '51 Buick rear bumper gaurds with exhaust/tailights like Yaril's '51 Buick.

    very mild lol. but nosed, and partially shaved. The importatnt part is that it was done with lead, in the late 40s.
