Could this be a 1931 Hudson?

Looks like a 1928 Dodge Brothers.

Agreed '28 Dodge Victory 6. You can always tell by the crease in the fenders.

Thanks. I was trying to get a match with the bumpers. Not a lot of them still have that style. maybe they were aftermarket?

 

One thing bothers me though. The body moulding on this 1928 Victory Six is different from that on the mystery car. As well I can see no sign of those distinctive depressions below the windows that characterise the '28 cars.

 

I am wondering if the mystery car might be a Senior Six.

I don't think it's a Senior Six. looks more like a 1929 with 1928 Victory Six bumpers.

Carny

It looks like the depressions under the windows are there on both cars

The belt molding, low rear window, taillight and other items say it's a 1929 DA with Victory Six bumpers.

The taillight on car in question is  Mopar 1929-1932 or Durant used that taillight also. If the car in question is a '28 Dodge, then the nice restored car, with its taillight, is correct. In 1928 Dodge brothers still had a flat lens top and bottom, 1929 dodge to 1932 used the small curve top lens and beehive bottom. Some 1928 year model Mopar cars such as Plymouth and DeSoto also used the beehive light as well.

 

That's my two cents.
