keiser31 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 That rib on the splash apron will be a good clue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted April 1, 2022 Share Posted April 1, 2022 Not that is matters, but the photo may be reversed as the golf bag door and step plate are usually on the right side (in the USA). 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
prewar40 Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 (edited) How about 1927 Chrysler model 70 My clue was the step plate. Edited April 2, 2022 by prewar40 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One aspect I had not considered. Perhaps it should be like this. Apparently the woman is actress Jean Arthur and it is the only know actual photo - rather than a movie still - of her with a car. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The position of the lock on the golf bag door looks right as well. The many shapes of golf bag doors make an interesting study. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As you note the gold bag door should be on the right - in the USA. As with my Studebaker it would appear that Chrysler did not make a 'right hand drive' - ie door on the left - version of their 1920s roadster bodies, as all of those I have photos of have the door on the right. Like this 1926 Imperial 80. Edited - that should be 'did NOT make a ....' 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
28 Chrysler Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 I am going to say that it could also be a Model 72 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viv w Posted April 2, 2022 Share Posted April 2, 2022 It is not a 1927 model 70. The 26 model 70 had 6 lug wheels and in 1927 they had 5 lug wheels. The 1926 and 1927 cars also did not have the double bead along the doors. Looking at the different color of the bead going below the door, I also think it is a 1928 Model 72. The model 52 and 62 cars this part under the doors was standard body color. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 How about 27/28 Dodge cabriolet Model 124 . Drive side golf bag and hub caps . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunsmoke Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 The devil is in the details, as far as I know, Dodge used round rubber padded rumble seat step plates, and Chrysler used squarish cast aluminum ones like this one from a Chrysler Model 52 Roadster. So I say Chrysler. BTW, if anyone needs this step plate, send me a PM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArticiferTom Posted April 3, 2022 Share Posted April 3, 2022 (edited) Dodge may have used metal also on 1928 short production run. My limit knowledge based only on pic from search ,and discussion with a cabo owner prior .
