A second cousin recently had some old family films digitized and came up with this gem...my dad has just driven up to a garage and hopped out of this amazing car to greet someone. Sorry for the terrible quality of the image, and also note in the first shot there is a four door sedan parked behind the vehicle it to make it even more difficult. I also found the two other outtakes. Any ideas what we are looking at here? I can’t find anything with any real detail. I believe the film was shot around 1935. Thanks!

Cursory investigations seem to be pointing towards it being late 20's Lincoln Model L Sport. The rear bag/box has been removed but the door location, divider and bombers match very closely. Ill keep looking though. The non-Sport Model L has a different front bumper.

My vote would be a 1930 Lincoln Model L Sport Phaeton, with the hood ornament missing.

Hmmm...look at the very distinctive and chrome spare tire retainer on this 1929 Stutz phaeton. Identical to the one in the old photos, really stands out in all three. The recent pictured car is a dual cowl model, but otherwise looks similar, including hubcap/wheels etc. Thoughts?
