Default Identify old car - not Model A

While perusing the ol' family photo albums over the annual Christmas visit to Dad's, I came across this picture of my Grandfather - just curious what year/model car he was the proud owner of.

Thanks in advance!

Thanks fellas!
I had the sneaking suspicion that there'd be at least a few folks here who could quickly recognize my grandfather's ride ; )

Now if only it had managed to survive and end up in my garage...ah well, one can dream...

My Grandfather and Great Uncles all had Parkards and moved to caddies when Packard went under. The shame is there are no pictures of them with their cars.
