It's a Powell Station Wagon.  300 were built in California, using used Plymouth mechanicals.  They also built a pickup using the same styling.

Right, Hugo.  Wagon is much less common, ratio being about 25 to 1.  Pickup came with a special fenderwell mini-trunk for your fishing pole.  Powell sold all he could make, then ran out of 1941 Plymouth chassis.

That's a Powell wagon.  They built the Powell from the prototype in 1953 and had ceased production by 1956, so it's somewhere in there.  Probably 55 or 56.  Most Powells were pickups (1000), and the wagon is kind of rare with only 300 made.  They were all built on a 1941 Plymouth chassis and the reason they stopped production was that they ran out of chassis....or so the story goes. 

Believe it or not, that storage tube shown is mostly for fishing gear.   :D

Oh, it's a storage tube: I thought it was the prototype for the power-assisted bumpers, as found on Volvos  ;D

Actually they're hydraulic rams to deal with tailgaters.  You can "punch their lights out".   :lmao:
