Can anybody help me identify this? The logo on the hubcaps looks like a B. I tried searching the license plate and Woodward.

No idea. Full size here , though, if anyone needs it.

The only thing I can come up with (and by that, I mean I only looked at Bentleys) is a 1931 8 Litre Sedan (edit: drophead thing).

That may be it. Buick also made a limousine back then, and that looks pretty convincing, though I'm not sure about the external trunk.

I think those things are often times custom.

The closest I could get is this Graham Paige, but the C-Pillar on yours is much thicker.

It's be tricky, because I'm pretty sure that "B" has less to do with who made the car, and more to do with the coachbuilder who made the body.

If you have several days, you can start looking around here to see if anything shows up.

It reminds me of the second image (31 Cadillac Sixteen Madame X) on this link: http://auto.howstuffworks.com/1930-1939-cadi…

But then all these other guesses resemble it also.

The wire wheels look newish and custom. Could it be a kit?

I want to say its a Franklin, but I don't have any conclusive evidence... This was the closest I've found yet

Something's wonky about the proportions of the car. Looks like modern sized wheels and tires. I think it's got modern running gear under an old or perhaps custom body...
