The one to the left is a '51.

The one they are leaning against is a '49, the one behind them is a '51

gajeepguy is correct on identifying both vehicles. While there is not much to go by on the front vehicle, the pull-out door handles identify it as a 1949 model. For 1950, these Fords got push-button door handles. As mentioned by sidevalve8ba and gajeepguy, the vehicle with part of the front showing is a 1951 model. Here is a larger picture of these vehicles.

Thanks so much , I remember the 51 when I was a child , I was born in 58 and my parents drove that car until 66 when it stopped running . It sat a little while and a man came over and worked on it about half a day and drove it away for $50 . Thanks for the information.
