Have driven past this plane with its nose against the fence many times and wondered what it was.

You have to see the tail. In its day it was the iconic airliner. Mad Magazine did a bit on "updated" constellation names, and Cygnus the Swan became Constellation the Constellation ... very witty.

I wish I had! Never thought to stop and walk back to the pad. For it's size, black nose and lack of activity, I thought it might have been a T33.

You're right though about the tail, would have known right away even though I didn't know of the 'Baby Connies'.
