Yes, those are pop up headlights.

I’ll repost this tomorrow with the answer if nobody correctly identifies the car. I’m pretty sure there’s enough of a clue in there however.

Without Googling. I want to say 1936.

I loved this car as a kid. The styling and headlights.

Then I got older and found it had a ‘pre-selector’ for changing up and down.

Crazily sophisticated car for the time, looking at the specs, its pretty easy to see why it was originally planned as an entry-level Duesenberg.

I’m going with 1932.

(I’m 100% certain on the make, just not the year. Could be as early as 1929?)

Coffin nose Cord! I LOVED these cars as a kid. Had replicas if them in just about every size and body style imaginable. My grandma was always fond of them.

I’m guessing 1940 Cord. Other than that, no idea.

It’s a Cord. I’d have guessed 40s, which probably says something about how it was ahead of its time.

Coffin-nose Cord. 1929? Front-wheel drive. Cool cars.

Damn, 1936 was the first year. It was semi-automatic, too.
