There has to be more to this. Is this a case where the garage originally could be entered either from an alley behind the house or from the street in front? (A house I rented had such a garage, with two doors, front and back. The back door had been nailed shut, as the alley had been closed off after the driveway was built.)
So to back the car out, you’d come out in the morning, remove the 4X4, back the car out, and shove it back in to keep the roof up while you were away…then do the same thing again when you returned?
car parked in garage for a number of years as its owner became old or used another vehicle. Later on structure was found lacking and a quick fix was employed and as car is not used… wella!
I think this is the Torino/Montego (?) wagon, and having ridden in one on a regular basis for several years in the mid-to-late ’70s, I can tell you the side-facing seats aren’t there. The LTDs had those.

I’m thinking the car port was built with inadequate structure, and the extra 4×4 was stuffed in there after the fact to keep the roof from collapsing.

Sort of like a really narrow garage door.
Or more likely:

Something tells me this car doesn’t get driven too often.
From the looks of the shelter, the roof doesn’t look stable, hence the removable pillar.
Definitely a Colony Park. Or maybe a Colony Parked?
That would be a Colony Ranwhen Parked.
You keep the garage, I will take the wagon! And, given the make, I bet the rear view mirror has fallen off the windshield!
You just need a couple spotters in the rear seats.
I think in this vintage they would be sitting across from each other in the back.

“Mon back. C’Mon….mon. Hold ittt!”
Sue Ellen Ewing wants her car back
Have you seen Linda Gray lately???
Looks as disheveled as this wagon 🙂
Perhaps the driver had to have it up on two wheels in order to get it to fit…
