    Re: Large mid 1920s touring car

    Those cowl lights look very distinctive, similar to Premier ?

    Judging by the rear fender, looks like someone had a little diffculty getting through the garage door ?

    The photo is a little distorted but it might be a 1925 Hudson touring car.

    The hood looks to have flutes, so it could be a Willys Knight. The parking lights on the cowl are consistent with a WK.

    Willys-Knight or Buick ?

    ( So, the initial photo was "stretched" ? That had me looking for huge behemoths ! )

    It does not appear to have the v-shaped radiator to be a Premier and the cowl lights seem to big.
    The frame and spring should also be visible behind the rear fender.

    Re: Large mid 1920s touring car

    I took a close look at the re-sized photo, and the cowl lights appear to be the more conventional type "drum" cowl lights.

    The first time I looked at the original photo, I thought they were more like the nautical "deck vent" cowlights as used on Premier, Stude Big Six, and other early '20s cars...

    The strong shadow in the photo makes the cowl lights look like their rear side fairs into the cowl...

    Can anyone else tell if the runningboard splash=aprons have a raised bead or raised inset panel ?
