Default Identify this car?

I know many of you can identify this car. I can’t.

Got a better shot of the center cap on the wheel? I blew it up and it looks like a stylized H but none of the 20-30s H cars have the horizontal hood louvers.

While we await a definitive answer... the horizontal louvers look really out of place, Don't make sense from either a "style" or functional perspective!

I appreciate everyone’s input as I had no clue where to start looking.

I don't know what she is but I love the originality and would be proud to have her parked in my driveway, unrestored!

As well as different fenders, splash apron, wheels, door hinges, body belt line, etc., etc.

I think we're still looking.

So I posted the picture from the first post on another forum and it was pretty quickly identified as a 1928 Wolverine (REO offshoot). A very rare model indeed - I was only able to find two other pictures online showing main body differences between the Wolverine and other models (Visor and shape of the beltline on the rear quarter panel). One of the pictures found was denoted as a 1929 which could be debatable.

This mystery car is a 1928 Wolverine.
They were only built in 1927 and 1928.
REO made them as a companion car.

Interesting ... REO and Wolverine. Both made in Lansing Michigan, I suppose.
For those that might not know, the Wolverine is the U of Michigan mascot, even though there hasn't been a wolverine around these parts in about a 100 years.
