Unlike the one from yesterday, there is no way this one is American. I'm thinking it's a European or an Eastern Bloc car.

I was on a bus when I was taking these pictures. So none of these are as close as I wish they were... and I couldn't get any really good shots of the front.

Any ideas on this one?

UPDATE:

Looks like this is an Austin A40/A50 Cambridge:

Kind of reminds me of a Hindustan Ambassador

Morris Oxford/Hindustan Ambassador. More likely a Morris, with Russian underpinnings.

Looks like a Series II or III Morris Oxford or its Indian-built cousin, the Hindustan Ambassador. A few of the details aren't quite right (tail lights, body swage lines and the like), but the proportions are spot on.

I can see that as well... but there are differences as you can see in this Hindustan Ambassador:

Checked the Morris Oxford But maybe it's some related car... checking into that...

This is the Morris Oxford Series 2... which looks similar, but that's not it:

The trunk opening is shaped differently and the creases along the side of the body are different.

Figured it out... You were close with Morris. It's actually an Austin A40/A50 Cambridge:
