[I Need Help Identifying An Old Auto From A Photo]

Thank you!  Now that you point out the bowtie I see it.  Before, it looked like part of a face.  Still wondering about that vertical bumper rail though.

[I Need Help Identifying An Old Auto From A Photo]

Hi all.  First time poster here.  I'm doing genealogy on my family and have a photo showing the trunk of an auto.  Just as a lark I decided to ID the car.  That hasn't gone so well and now it's reached the point that I'm turning to the experts.

 

About all I can tell you is what you see in the image.  A 1938 Texas plate, single rear window, and what is that center-mounted vertical bumper piece?  Would the trunk even open past it?

 

Thanks for your knowledge and assistance.
