Looks like in the first photo it is saying  " Please take me home "  Love the ad with the pony in the back  Sure has a nice interior except for the front seat.

The ad lists it as a "4 door sedan" which of course is not true.  In any case, it needs a lot of work.   It has the '47/'48 KF radio in it.

My 50 Traveler has the same 47-48 radio in it. It's also trimmed the same way, vinyl interior and single inside visor. This one looks rough, but I'll bet the body is solid. The lack of rot in the rear cargo area tells me this car must have been dry stored for a long time.

Comptonville is a very small town in Northern California that is in the foothills of the mountains Northeast of Sacramento.  There could probably be snow there but no salt on the roads.  The car looks like it has spent a lot of time outside by looking at the rusty wheels.  It looks like an easy restoration project and it certainly has an interesting hood ornament.
