(#12) What is it? Identify that car!

We recently received a massive collection of prewar car photographs. We are equipped to identify cars in photographs. Due to the volume of unidentified images, we decided to try something new….and something that is hopefully fun for you!

Do you think you have what it takes to ID the vehicle(s) in the image? If so, please give us the make and model year and, whenever possible, the reasons why you believe your identification is correct. Some vehicles will be easier to identify than others, but we will share them all with you regardless. After we receive some guesses, we will check our available resources to see how you did. Good luck!

Actually, it is a 1926 with the drum headlamp buckets. The 1927s came with bullet-shaped buckets. Here are a couple of 1926 Chevrolets. Mine is the burn victim....

Thanks I will have to remember that difference. So this car is a V rather than an AA.

The 1927 Chevrolets also had a raised belt molding that ran all the way from the radiator to the rear of the car.
