Pretty sure its a Minx the Husky had a larger rear window. Mid to late 1950s Minx wagon Estate car I beleive it maybe.

But the Husky did look similar around that year in its first revamped model it was given more straight lines and the rounded body was made history. The early 1950s husky is very rounded like the late 40s to early 50s model cars. Like the FJ etc very rounded panels. I call em bubble cars LOL. Unfortunately its hard to tell if it has rear doors I think has but hard to tell as a lot of these were 2 door Vans with windows rather than actual wagons. But yes they were sold as wagons.
