Looks plymouthy...y...to me, but I don’t into that era of cars.

A Cadillac, bought from Earl Stoyer Oldsmobile-Cadillac in Schuylkill Haven, Pennsylvania.

I would guess a Ford? Fancier one than this, seems to have big louvres up front. So maybe later than 1930, late 30s?

Concur with Cadillac. Probably a ‘32 or ‘31.

Looks a little downmarket for a caddy though to me. Lasalle maybe?

A 1932 355 seems to be very similar.

Work backwards from the wheels and hood ornament

Could be. Here’s a match on the bodystyle offered on a ‘31, so it wasn’t just Caddy that got that sedan:

Here’s a LaSalle with the visorless windshield, also a ‘31:

Kinja'd!!!

In either case, I’m not 100% that’s the nekkid lady hood ornament on a normal LaSalle or Caddy.

Looks like a Marmon radiator cap.

I think I got it! Well, maybe. Ok, no.

This is a 1933 Essex Terraplane made by Hudson. Notice the curve at the base of the A pillar and the 4 louvers on the hood and the shape of the three windows.

The thing is that the front door is a suicide door and not hinged from the front like the one in your picture. Also, the front fender drops down behind the wheel.

Now take a look at this ‘33 Pontiac. Right doors and windows. Hood ornament? Wrong fenders and louvers.

Kinja'd!!!

Oh! Here’s a 1933 Chevrolet!

Kinja'd!!!

And this Buick!

Kinja'd!!!

What the hell? All these cars look so damn similar!

Not a Cadillac - hood ornament isn’t right, and the car looks too small. It’s a 32 Olds.

1932 Oldsmobile. The integrated turn signals and lowered-head mascot are the key signs.

They look like Oldsmobile hubcaps.
