FOUND: Old Pontiac Chieftain - What to do?

I discovered this on some hunting land I bought. The body, though rusted, looks in surprisingly good shape damage-wise. It has a motor in it. What is the best way to get this sold to a restorer, etc ? Does anyone know what year it might be based on these photos? Do I part this out or try to sell it whole?

Early 50's. But that is a 100k restoration on a 20k value car when done, careful here.

The grille looks like a '57.

For comparison, a complete (running) 4-door could bring $20-30K. A really good restoration could increase that.
