It looks as if the panhard rod got a good smack from below. The rod on my '50 is straight. Also, the engine appears to be missing the carburetor heat shield which isn't uncommon but the wrapping on the fuel line leading to the carburetor could indicate an existing heat/fuel problem.

I was surprised to see the undercarriage splash shields still attached to the car. They are almost always missing due to lazy mechanics in years past.

I don't see the engine being askew... maybe someone else will.
