Ossining? Isn't that where the infamous Sing-Sing prison is located?
 
Anyway, I recall the episode of "Mad Men" where Don Draper wrecked his Dodge and replaced it with a new 1962 Cadillac.

Yes, indeed Sing-Sing State Prison is located on the Hudson in bucolic Ossining.
 
Ossining was also the home town of author John Cheever, famed as a chronicler of suburban angst.

...the sheetmetal doesn't look right, especially that black corrugated piece in the upper left corner of the pic, which reminds me of the plastic engine cover of a Fiat X1/9.
  
I'm stumped.

 
Any day I can stump Stephen 987 is a good day. Anyone else wanna try this one, he's actually getting warm?

This should explain the strange metal piece surrounding that motor>

This HAS to be a Corvair motor. That fuel pump is distinctive. Beins as how it has an alternator, it's in the '65-69 version.

57 Ford wagon is a Country Sedan rather than Squire I believe. Gold car a Rambler American? Blue car by Ford wagon maybe a midfiftes Hash (Hudson/Nash)?

Thanks. You're exactly right. The Squire had wood paneling, right?
