What is the light brown sedan in the carpark?

A photo taken in Auckland, New Zealand in December 1957. The cars are typical of the NZ scene of the time with imports of new cars quite restricted.

 

Parked is a circa 1933 Vauxhall. It is the car next to it which I am wondering about. Circa 1936 I think - maybe Nash, Graham or Reo?

The doors do not open like a '36 Hudson, and the fenders are not streamlined like a '36 Lafayette. I vote for a '36 Buick.

They have a two piece windshield. Looks like the car in question has a single piece of glass.

I was going to suggest Plymouth, but Dodge is close.

What do you suppose that is on the bumper? Firewood?

Looks like there's gonna be a fire in the fireplace tonight....
