LouO Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Sorry for the terrible pic, but this is all I have to work with too. I'm trying to figure out what it might be...(pic taken around 1969-1970?) I have no clue.

Snake45 Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 I blew the pic up four times and I still can't see a car. I might be seeing a wheel and tire. Maybe. Is that attached to a car?
SSNJim Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 It looks very 60-63 Falcon-ish to me. I think I see the left rear fender, tail light and bumper.
MrObsessive Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 I see an early '60's Falcon judging by the taillight albeit blurry.
Bucky Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 I agree that it's possibly a first gen Falcon left rear taillight.
Richard Bartrop Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) That bezel looks a little thick for a Falcon, so I'm going to toss out that it might be a 1960 Frotenac? Edited December 4, 2019 by Richard Bartrop
Spex84 Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 If it's not a Falcon (and it probably is) I'm gonna go with ...'57 Ford Thunderbird:

LouO Posted December 4, 2019 Author Posted December 4, 2019 Thank you for the input and replies everyone! Yes, it's the rear (driver side) tail-light. Over the holiday weekend the family was going through some old pics, and I spotted the car (not the main point of the pic), and I was intrigued by it. I poked around a little more too...maybe a 62-63 Falcon? Now to hunt down a model kit...
stitchdup Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 (edited) I think it looks more like the t bird, there appears to be a small fin area above the light, and the bumper looks closer. In the op's pic the bumper looks to follow more of the light around than the falcon does, and there appears to be the exhaust cut out in its bumper which the falcon again doesn't have. And the reflections in the pic look like their on something a bit more angular Edited December 4, 2019 by stitchdup
Richard Bartrop Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 I don't think it's a T-Bird because there's too much sheet metal surrounding that tail light. If you look closer, what looks like a fin at first is actually part of the background, and whatever that spot on the bumper is, it defintiely doesn't match the shape of the T-Bird exhaust. It's definitely some variation on an early Falcom. Looking at the taillight bezel, I think the closest match for US Falcon models might be a '61 model.
jokar124 Posted December 7, 2019 Posted December 7, 2019 I agree with Richard Bartrop's original answer. Definitely a '60 Frontenac.
