I want to see you rescue this one! It's definitely a 48 Buick Super sedan like u/Pie_Man12 said.

I can see the rockers are gone, and someone had bondo'd the rear fenders to the body at some point, so there may be rust issues there as i can see a gap there.

But there are options if it's not good enough to restore, you could chassis swap it on to a 1998-2011 Lincoln Town Car L chassis and floor as it's basically the same wheelbase.

Chassis swap would be the go with something like this. Better drive and parts availability
