David, I agree with you after looking at some Barrett Jackson photos. 1929 Chevy Roadster
Dad is probably sitting on 1926 or sooner. Notice the wooden spooked wheels. 1927 and up had wire spoke wheels. I wonder if Alfred’s daughter at Baily Bros. garage would have any vintage photos of the year. That is called a “Dasher” for home made ice cream.
1929 Chevy Roadster +/- one year. Notice the disc style wheels
Mom’s car- from Kent a friend who is a auto enthusiast.
The styling of the car certainly is of the late 1920s – early 1930s time period. Without a view of the front of the car I can’t tell the make. However, I can tell from the side view that it is not a Ford, Chevrolet, Plymouth or similar lower price range car. The length of the hood suggests that it has an inline 6 engine which would put it in the mid-price range. Also, the disc wheels are unusual (most cars of this period had steel spoke wheels, although Packard and Dodge are two notable exceptions to this styling rule as both had disc wheels) but what is more confusing is the cone shape of the wheels and the six lug nut wheel attachment which were more commonly used on trucks of the period. There were a few makes of the period (ie. Graham) that made both cars and light trucks that used similar suspensions, steering and wheel spindle assemblies on all models, particularly after the onset of the Depression in 1929. The chief clues in the photo as to what make the car might be are the aforementioned 6 lug wheels and the configuration of the side louvers in the hood which are distinctive enough to indicate the probable make of the car. More research would be needed to pin down the likely make of the car from the photo that you have.
