Cute little Chrysler! Maybe 1926. This one has Model A Ford bumpers.

Short hood suggests a four cylinder model. I am guessing it is the new short wheelbase (103" vs 109"), and smaller-engined, Model 50 introduced in late 1926.

I agree but this one is also a 2 wheel brake car, many of the late ones had 4 wheel brakes.

I have rebuilt 2 1927 Chrysler 50 series., both had only rear wheel mechanical brakes. I also had 2 series 52 touring cars, one had 2 wheel mechanical brakes and one I built had 4 wheel hydraulic.  I think some early cars may have been upgraded to 4 wheel brakes by the dealers as I have seen some series 58 with 4 wheel brakes. George Damann"s book, 70 years of Chrysler states that 4 wheel hydraulic brakes were only offered late in 1928 on 4 cyl cars.
