Can you identify me.

This is from "Americar" on Facebook.  I wondered if anyone here could identify the car being repaired?

Looks like a Buick badge. Maybe a 1917 Buick Model D. The headlight bar location is a key.

Looks like he is pulling the crank out.  Love those early J hooks, I never knew how far back they went...and the massive size of those

Thank you.  I thought it was a Buick but had no idea what year.

We have seen photos like that before with the car propped up on planks with another car on the crane.

I would vote for a 1918 Buick because of the fenders having a crown, not flat.  '17 from my experience had flat fenders and the model change for '18 was rounded or crowned fenders.  The rectangular radiator badge also screams Buick.

 

I have a couple of the "J" hooks from an old dealer that up to the early 1980's was still using chain falls and J hooks for the service department to repair cars.
