How did you come to this conclusion? I'm pretty certain that's not it.
Voila

If I'm honest that first one's engine block looks suspiciously like a Ford inline 6. What does the tag on the oil filter port say?
That's for the distributor not the oil filter.
IMO, the car looks like a 1953-54 Chevy 210.

However I'm pretty sure that's a Dodge/Chrysler/De Soto inline 6 engine

So my guess is a 53-54 Chevy 210 (not a Bel-Air) with a really shitty engine swap.
That Chevy 210 looks like a great match. Especially the square gas tank on the side. The back window seems to match too.
It's amazing how all the cars of that era look the same.
You are also forgetting there were only really GM, Ford, Chrysler, Studebaker and AMC... Maybe in Canada you had more of a BMC presence and the usual Europe suspects but they didn't even make a blip on the radar. Something like 95% of the market was controlled by American brands. One of my hobbies is to track down where all the various dealers were. The amount of them was insane, we are talking almost like Couche Tard levels of stores.The square gas tank door, the sharper more square rear by the taillights (vs a Windsor for example which is more rounded), the large round bulge on the rear passenger door, all the chrome trim including around the rear window... Everything seems to match.
It's just that engine that doesn't match.
Yes cars all looked similar, but that has not changed 70 years later. At least back then there were updates almost every year, and new models every few years. Now we get generations lasting 10+ years with no major changes.
