After doing a little research, I'm pretty sure it's a 1957 Pontiac Chieftan 4dr sedan. Google the car and look at the pics. Let me know what you think.

I believe the car is a two door....  1958 Pontiac  ( or possibly an Oldsmobile ) ..... The roof line and windshield appear to be GM...That fender extension looks to be Oldsmobile ....   But if this is the vehicle that was facing east on the south side of the street in front of the TSBD it definitely is a 1958 Pontiac.

Yeah, if the clearer image you posted is the same vehicle as is displayed this thread's OP, I think you've got it. The body side trim is convincing,
vs the Oldsmobile side-moulding

1956 Oldsmobile 88 Base Sedan 4-Door 5.3L

Okay....I'm fine with a 57 or 58 Pontiac. Definitely not an Olds  or Chevy. I'll settle with the Pontiac for sure. So......hmmmm   what is the reason for the question? What are we looking for here? A car is parked on North Houston facing south and what do we need to know about it?????

Just a guess.....  Perhaps someone is suggesting that the car belonged to Jack Ruby who owned a light colored Oldsmobile.
