ID help would be appreciated..I am in process of trying to ID old family photos, to pass on family history to my adult son.  This is my great uncle. and the  license plate is possibly 1923 or  1928?

Wow! no shortage of headroom in this vehicle...

(I am guessing that he may be on the way to add air to the left front tire)

Looks right except for the front bumper.  That could be an accessory added on however.

It seems that particular bumper was a common aftermarket apology for two wheel brakes.   It reminds me that Roy Grey, the second owner of Alan Powell's A model Duesenberg here in Melbourne for about 40 years, told me that during the war, the garage of his then home was too short for the Duesenberg with both front and back bumper bars attached.  Those beautiful hydraulic brakes were possibly the best on any car for many decades.  Roy said he would never run into the back of anyone, but there was always risk he could be hit from behind.  So he removed the front bumper to fit the car to the garage; and it was somehow lost.
