What threw me was that it had than little Grand Marquis type look and appeared to have a vertical hood ornament which usually meant L/M, rather than the more horizontal one on most Fords. Roger Smith and GM certainly weren't the only proponents of look alike back then!

I'm going with Triumph Spitfire with a Ferrari kit body. 
That front suspension looks just like the one on the Mk2 '66 Spitfire I owned 25yrs ago.
Am I close?

That's exactly right - it is a Fiorano Type 48 Corsa Spyder - based on a Triumph Spitfire (or a GT6). They were initially sold as just 'Type 48 Corsa Spyder' but the firm got taken over by Fiorano a few years ago. They must have made a few hundred by now - I've seen quite a few and they are not uncommon at shows - but they do suffer from having no weather protection, as British summers and good weather don't always coincide.

Some of these are very prewar but there are at least 3-4 postwar cars you can identify:

Of the barn finds, the one I find most intriguing is the white one with the red top and suicide doors. Not sure what it is, but if anyone comes up with a definitive ID, I'd be very interested.

How can you tell the white one with the red top (British Ford? Cortina?) has suicide doors?  There's one on the right that has suicide doors but it's blue and older...

My humble one cent is the yellow postwar VW Beetle.

The only cars I can clearly identify is the dust covered 1959 Chevrolet sedan in the center and the yellow VW Bug in the back.

The 59 Chevy in the middle is the most noticeable, with a 46-48 Ford Tudor in front of it and a ca. 50 Hudson behind it and a VW beside it. Do I see an Isetta way back there too?
To the right of those, the light blue car under a tarp appears to be an early 30s Dodge or Plymouth, followed by a late (24-27) Model T Tudor, and an unknown behind it.
On the left, the first car is unknown, the rust-red/white car is stumping me - reminds me of a Simca Aronde or maybe a British product, then an Austin A40 Devon, then an unknown, then a Model T coupe.

Nice going Fin...I didn't even notice the Isetta back there (no way to tell if it's an Iso or a BMW). I was going to post a better picture of the red/white car but you've nailed it, it's a Simca Aronde and the other car is indeed an Austin>
You're a little off on the Ford tudor, Hemmings sez it's a '47.
Here's a better look>
