Mystery sedan in New Zealand

[nzcarnerd]

Unfortunately the photo is very small. It comes from a library collection of a photographer by the name of Kingsford.

 

The registration plate on the 1915 Oakland on the left tells us the photo was taken between mid 1925 and mid 1926.

 

The truck next to the Oakland is, apparently, an American-built Commerce.

 

The sedan mystifies me. There was a suggestion it might be an Ajax but it has no cowl lamps. It resembles a Dodge but the radiator badge is vertical rather than round.

 

I doubt the touring on the right is identifiable.

Perhaps a Rollin?

Looking at the fender and hubcap profile, Rollin is a good match for the touring as well.

 

Heres a picture and a link to it:

I think you're right.

I went looking for the emblem, going on the information on American Auto Emblems site I think the sedan matches the 1925 emblem shown here:
