I agree, Oakland. Here is a 1913 Oakland.

I'm guessing a 1928 Model 52. It could be a year or two older, but 1928 was the last year of that body style and the roof contour looks like 1928. It could also be a larger model, but it looks to me like the small 4-cylinder model.

I graduated 1n 1961. In my class only a couple had cars. and I was in Grad school before I got the first "driver" of my own. I have no good pictures of myself -- I was always the one behind the camera -- but These might be of interest.
1) Like Walt G I was the odd one in HS when it came to cars. My school was in the center of town with lots of traffic, but I occasionally drove my '28 Chrysler that i got when I was 15.
2) In college my brother and I shared this '51 Chevy that my dad bought from a couple of ladies my mother knew.
3) and I like to show off my brother's toys.

Wouldn't that give 4 speeds? It sounds like clutchwork with a 3 speed to me
That's what prompted my question. It sounded like a 3-speed with a clutch, but the Model T had neither. The "T" had a 2-speed transmission without a clutch. Ford didn't offer a 3-speed with a clutch until the Model A debuted in 1928.

This "T" seems to have a 3-speed transmission. Is the high gear an overdrive?

Find someone holding an estate sale and piggy-back on it. People go crazy if they think they discovered a "barn find". Of course, you lose control of its ultimate fate that way.
It's been 15 years now that I had a solid but incomplete '27 chevy coupe in the garage of my parents' home. They were deceased and we needed to sell the house. I figured the car was worth $700 to $800, and even offered it on this forum for $400. No interest at all. When we had the estate sale it sold for $2800.

The auction is in Chattanooga Tennessee (TN), not Texas (TX) as is in the title of this post.

Here are a couple I've photographed over the years. Both are loaded with accessories. According to my notes the blue one is a "Special DeLuxe", the red one is a "Master DeLuxe".

On the Georgia side of Lookout Mountain south of Chattanooga is an area aptly named "Plum Nelly" because it's plum out of Tennessee and Nelly out of Georgia.

The car in the ad appears to be a DeLuxe model which has had the front fender and door trim removed. The photo below shows a similar car with the DeLuxe side trim.

Packards are popular, although the later ones (1951 up) don't bring big prices. Pull it out of the garage, wash the dust off and take a lot of pictures -- inside, outside, engine, trunk, underneath, etc. Then post it on this forum in the "For sale" section. It's free and you should get some interest. Where is it located? Not the exact address, but at least what part of the country. Shipping it across the country would add hundreds to the cost for a potential buyer.
By the way, you probably know this already, but it's not a good idea to put your email address in a public forum such as this. There is a private message function which people can use to contact you. It may not be available to you until you've posted a few times just to limit abuse and be sure you're a real person, but members can contact you. Click on your name to access it.
Good luck with the sale.

An all original example.
(Quote not from Leif, but the ad)
I wonder if records would show how many left the factory with blinding red paint and pleated vinyl interiors.

For all kinds of trucks including antiques check out the Walcott Truckers Jamboree in July of each year.
2023 Walcott Truckers Jamboree | Iowa 80 Truckstop
The Iowa 80 Truck Stop is in Iowa on Interstate 80 (duh!) It is billed as the largest truck stop in the world and includes a truck museum with more than 100 antique trucks.

I don't know if Buck ever worked on a Citroen. Les Renaults et Peugeots kept him occupied...
I had a 1978 Ford Fiesta {the German one}. I asked my mechanic if he worked on a Fiesta. He said "I'll work on anything but a Le Car. You've got to draw a line somewhere".

Could be Olds or Pontiac, but it's uncommon to see disk wheels on those marques And these don't really look like GM wheels to me. More likely a more obscure make. Nash used disc wheels, could that be it? Maybe someone can work with the photo to read the name on the hubcaps.

Not a Chevrolet. How about Pontiac, around 1927?

The car on the right looks like a 1927 Chevrolet.

The seller described the body as "all steel". Not true unless I'm mistaken. The seller might mean "all steel" as opposed to fiberglass, but these Chryslers were made of wood structure (as were most other cars of the era) with metal covering the wood. All the top and door posts were wood. The body seems to be in good shape on this car, so it's not a problem, but a buyer should understand what he is buying.
Photos are of a 1928 Model 52 Landau sedan.

one cannot be sure if those drum lights left the factory with the car, or maybe they were fitted by a previous owner.
For sure, it would have been an easy job to change the headlights. Changing from drum style to bullet headlights to make the car look newer would not be unusual, but the reverse to make it look older would be odd. And if an owner of a 1928 model 52 changed to drum headlights to make it look like a 1927, I would not expect him to go so far as to drill holes and run wiring to add cowl lights which were not originally on the 1928 model.
Either way, the car is equally attractive and only a few obsessive car guys like myself will ever know the difference. It would be nice to have the title reflect the actual model if possible.

Ford Truck. Can we pin a year down?

Check the window glass. It looks like there's still enough there to see the safety code. It should have a date the lot was cleared.
