What make/model is this mystery car? (any clearer picture?)

It was parked right outside the door of the TSBD:





It kinda looks like this type of car, but i'm not an expert on 1950's/1960's cars:



Any idea what kind of car it is? And who might own it?

Trying to match the "A" pillar, aka windshield post, and the "B" pillar, aka center post, and the "C" pillar, aka the sail panel (behind rear door).... no high confidence match of all three.

The challenge is the angle....example- two views of Tippit's patrol car, '62 or '63 Ford Galaxy

Replica of Tippit patrol car:




Pontiac Chieftain 870 4-door Sedan (2719D) '1956


1956 Pontiac Sedan 2-door Sedan


1961 Oldsmobile Cutlass F-85 Deluxe


It looks like a two door sedan. A two door coupe has no "B" pillar, and it seems too short to be a four door....

I think it's either a 1956 or 1957 Pontiac or Oldsmobile 4 door sedan. The rear sheet metal was different on Chevy's. In 1958, GM changed the body styles on almost all of their lines of cars. So it's definitely pre-1958.
