Can you identify this car in a 1960s photo?

[Guest jrez]

I am trying to identify the car in this 1964 Danny Lyon photograph from Albany, Georgia. I'd appreciate any clues.

 

Thanks a bunch!

It's a Packard, 22nd or 23rd Series(48-50). I'm sure someone with better Packard identification skills then mine will come along soon and nail down the Series and Year.

The car in the background is an early 60's Rambler Classic

Thanks Ozstatman! Looks like it's a 1949 Packard Super Touring Sedan or Super Club Sedan...

With the Rambler in the background, it is hard to pinpoint since the car is a bit blurred but it is definitely either a 1961 or 1962 Rambler Classic.  I lean more towards 1961 since the grill appears to be a bit smooth.

 

The Packard is a bit trickier since their series number is quirky and they used body styles 2 years in a row.  We can eliminate certain models that have the egg-grate grills and those with wraparound lower grills where the turn signals are.  That leaves the 1949 or 1950 Eight or Super Eight 2302 or 2322.  I may be wrong but it is a best guess without seeing the rest of the car.  Attached is a 1950 Super Eight series 2302.

The Rambler is a '61.  The '62s had the peaks trimmed off the fins.

Incredible. Thanks a million, X-Frame.
