Can you ID this car?

[JimG]

Going through some old family photos. I know you guys are good at this. Can you ID my great uncle's car? I have included two photos, of what I think may be the same car. In the real photo I can see there is a golf club door behind the passenger door on the side view and a little opening under the cowl lamp. Unfortunately, a lot of the car is in the shadow of the house. I tried to lighten it up a bit. It has wooden spoke wheels. Looks similar to a 1930 Buick - but the wheels look different? The big snow storm was March 1936, so the car was fairly old at that point.

The AACA page is the go-to for this kind of stuff. I'll post it there.

According to one of the knowledgeable guys at AACA, the car is a 1929 Buick.

My guess a 29-30 Chrysler.
Pic is my T-bird & Plymouth Playboy that I was looking to purchase $18,000 back in 2000.
Was a 30-footer for sure, so I went to the L-ville H R nats & purchased my 32 car of my dreams. Drove it 3,000 miles home & still driving it. Peggy drove the bird & I drove the 32 home from Kentucky to Oregon by way of Branson Mo.
Needless to say, we gathered a crowd anywhere we stopped.
Sorry about hi-jacking your post.

Its got a golf bag door too! Looks Buick to me, however I had an old Buick chassis here that had more bolts on the wood wheel hubs. Perhaps a larger wheelbase car?

1929 Buick 46S Two Door Sport Coupe looks pretty close - wheels look a little different:

The Front Door seems to be shorter than the car in Question?

They are a handsome car, can you see a nailhead under that hood? I can.

Thanks everyone. The 1929 Buick seems to be a match. I have come across a couple of other car pictures I can't identify that maybe you would like to help with. They are all pretty early. The first one with my father's uncle at the wheel has a front end somewhat like a Franklin? No spoked wheels however. The second one has my father's aunt next to an early car. He told me that in the 1930's they used to have an old Willy's Knight in the barn that the chickens roosted on. Maybe the car before it became a chicken coop? The third one has that same uncle on the back of an early Harley Davidson - year??? The fourth one has my Great Grandfather at the wheel of what my father told me was an Overland, around 1917.

I though this was a Franklin air cooled automobile, now I'm having second thoughts
