Any ideas what the brown car in the photo is?

It appears to be a Chevrolet...it seems so sad sitting back there in the weeds. If anyone has any info on year and model and if it might be worth dragging out of there, I would be most grateful. Thanks!

From what we can see, it could be a '41-48 Chevrolet.

I think only 1947 has the upper stainless trim all of the way around without the lower body stainless. Here is the four door version....this one has the optional rear windshield wiper....

Some '48 Chevys also had the trim going around the rear and no belt line trim.   The rear wiper may have been a '48 option, at least the only Chevy of the era I ever saw one with was a '48.  After re hashing the '41 body year after year, it perhaps got difficult for GM to dream up something else to change or add at little cost.  Center grille vertical bar on the '48 was a noticeable difference from the '47, but a minor addition.   Anything would sell, buyers were still car starved after WWII.  Even with it's stale styling there were 80,000 more '48's produced than the '47's.
