Found this old picture of my Grandmother a while ago and have been wondering what type of car she's sitting in. This was most likely taken sometime in the late 20's to early 30's. I am hoping some of the old car experts on here will know what it is.

Thanks

It looks like a mid 20's Dodge Brothers sedan by the side of the radiator cap, but the rear windows are different...those should be a series of ovals, I believe.

I am going to step out on a limb and say a '26 Super K. 1926 Chevrolet Tourer Superior K

The wheels are making me say that, wish the hood ornament was in frame.
Grandma was a "hottie"

I did a lot of looking but found nothing like it yet. I was thinking Willys-Overland.
The important details are the cowl lights integrated into the cowl, and the sides of the fenders having that seam, hard to find anything in the 20s that still has that seam.

WGAS about the car, what a fetching smile! I'll bet she's been that way her entire life.

i don't believe in the lord! He's never bought me a Mercedes Benz.

Grill shape seems slightly off compared to the subject car.

Hood ornament and wheel lugs are different.

hood sides are different too. the op pic is remarkably like one I found of the29 escape car my GF used trying to get the family west to CA, expept its a hard top. They left the farm east of Eldorado Springs Mo- made it as far as Perryton tx 5 miles south of the OK cimmaron strip. It ended up having the body removed and a rudimentary flatbed rigged for doing buisness deliverys there--I got a pic of it with my 15 yr old dad leaning on it too but must get them scanned and blown up.

Godd idea. Thanks Gilly, I shoulda thought of that.

I'm still leaning towards a Dodge Brothers...1925/26.

I was looking at images of 1925-28 models and couldn't find an example that had the beading on the outer edges of the fenders. Was Dodge upmarket enough back then to warrant coachbuilt bodies? Did they have multiple off-site body suppliers?
