Edit: I think the one in the background is a 1954 Oldsmobile Rocket 88

If it's not a Fairlane then it must be a Crown Vic. I thought you were talking about the car sitting directly behind the Ford as the one in the background. That looks like a Hudson Jet...maybe a '54?

1950 Hudson Commodore 8 Sedan

The beautiful, streamlined Hudson for 1950, the only car with the "step-down ride" and Hudson's exclusive "Monobuilt Body-and-Frame," the forerunner of today's Unit-Body construction.
This was a big, roomy, low center of gravity road machine, and one of the most elegant cars of its day. Remember the movie, "Driving Miss Daisy?" Morgan Freeman chauffeured Miss Daisy in her 1950 Hudson Commodore 8, just like this one.
The Commodore 8 was the forerunner of the Hudson Hornet, which dominated the Nascar races from 1951 to 1954. In 1955, Hudson and Nash Merged to form AMC, now part of Daimler Chrysler.
