Oldsmobile, believe it is a '29 but 28 and 30 were very similar. Too busy to try and narrow it further.

I'll go with '29...

Didn't the '30 Olds have an oval "bubble" in the center of the headlight tie-bar with "Oldsmobile" in the center ?

Pretty sure that the car is 1930 F-30. 28s and 29s did not have the raised trim edge between the top of the hood and the windshield on the side of the cowl. For comparison purposes a 1928 olds sedan ad can be viewed at: http://imagehost.vendio.com/preview/vi/vintageads4u/Oldsmobile31928CG.jpg . For a 1929 Olds have a look at: http://home.vicnet.net.au/~oldsclub/Graphics/membcars/29full.JPG Finally for a restored 1930 F-30 four door see http://files.conceptcarz.com/img/Oldsmobile/1930_oldsmobile_model_f-30_chicago_04_dv_02.jpg

The fact that the mystery car is missing that round olds badge on the headlight bar is of some concern (definitely a feature added after 28) but based on the evidence above I suspect that it was a removable trim part and that it has simply gone missing from the mystery car during its "retirement" If psatchwill has access to the car he should be able to acertain whether there are any vacant mounting holes in the centre of the bar. Then again, if he had access to the car he could just check the VIN and solve the mystery right there and then..
