31 Dodge brothers???

It is diffinately not a Dodge of any year. It is a very Rare 1930 Incumbent Constable, easily identified by the reverse threads on the right left rear axle housing.

 

[Mike V. Florida]

1929 Dodge sedan.

 

[Tom Wesenberg]

I'm thinking Willys Knight due to the sharp edge on the hood.

The center bumper clamp has the name running up and to the right similar to Buick.

 

[SeaSlugs]

yea it has big ol headlights - dodges look too small. rear wheels are tucked way up under the fenders too.

 

[Tinbasher]

Looks like a 1929 or 30 Oakland. to me.

John Poole

(GM Model between a Pontiac and a Oldsmobile in the day.)

 

[Steve_Mack_CT]

Yeah, maybe a GM product. Try the aaca general discussion board, you will have the answer in 15 minutes.

My 2 cents are it is Buick judging from the disk wheels and the center bumper clamp that is a blue shield.

'29-'30 De Soto

center bumper clamp appears to be a Durant.

 

[bambooboy]

lots of guess's here,so hears mine.looks similar to a 32 Reo I almost bought 50 years ago

 

[Gyrodoc]

Thanks everyone. REO looks the closest so far. Whippet might be another but I think a Whippet was a smaller car.

 

[Dave Mellor NJ]

30 Whippet seems to be right

I think Dave is right. They both have the embossed divider in the center of the sun visor, and other features seem to match.

I have owned a 1928 Reo Flying Cloud, and am somewhat familiar with the REOs before and after the 1928 Model year - and from that background I do not believe that the car pictured is a REO.

REO, by the way, stands for Ransom E. Olds, the same fellow who started with a 'Curved Dash' Oldsmobile in about 1903. You may remember the song, "In My Merry Oldsmobile" which was a smash hit in 1903-'04. Well, at least SOME of you remember when that song came out . . . . .

I can't remember my grandfather driving anything other than an Oldsmobile of some sort or another. Always remember him singing that song.

Looks a lot like a '30 Chevy with disc wheels. Not quite but really close. I wouldn't be surprised if it was a GM product. the little emblem on the bumper may give a better clue. the cowl lights are a bit different and there is no headlight stanchions on that car either.
