Another 1920 era car to ID

Hello all. This picture is not great, but wonder if anyone can help identify the car. Is it Buick or Caddy? Picture taken circa 1930. I believe it is my great uncle Sam in the driver seat. You can also just make out the gas pump on the left. My grandfather and his brothers opened up a Gulf gas station near their barn around this time, where they operated a taxi business and vehicle storage.

Proportions are wrong, and too small a car, too short a wheelbase for anything like Cadillac. For instance, the 314 cadillac brougham was on the short 132" wheelbase, and this was a 2 door closed car. The back of the body finished over the rear axle, and behind that was a tray with a trunk fastened to it. It may be a something like a late version of what Essex called their "Coach". It is difficult to say exactly because of indistinct image.

Thanks Ivan, it's a 1928 Essex Coach, featured on page 52 of <span style="font-style: italic">American Motors Family Album</span>, First Edition, February, 1969. No doubt about it!
