    I'm not very good at artillery wheels, and without a grille or other identifying paraphernalia I'm at a loss as to what make this sedan is.

    Looks like a 1928 or 1929 Cadillac Sedan to me. 1930 had wire wheels if I'm not mistaken.

    I looked at some Caddy images from the years you suggested. Just doesn't seem like it.

    How about a 32' Lincoln?

    That is a super-cool limo. If you could decipher the crest/image/letters on the Hubcaps you could solve the mystery. And, with the attire the trio in the pic is wearing you know this is one cl***y ride with some bucks in it.

    yeah....Marge and Mary and Frank are dressed to the nines, and that car must have gotten some double-takes as it motored through town.

    One other minor thing: These are steel artillery wheels, not wooden...so that helps date it a bit.

    Chrysler? Note the hood covering up all the rad shell. That and the wheels say Chrysler to me.

    Looks like many Lincolns, but most had wire wheels...

    I would suggest '29/'30 Chrysler series 77 or Imperial but I'm looking at it on my phone

    Hex shapes on caps, big ridge suggesting shoulders on hood...seems Packard is the likely suspect.

    Could be a coach built body on a Packard ch***is. Plus I am not sure that the hood covers the grill shell. I think that it just doesn't show up well in the pic as it blends in with the background.

    Did some searching and came up with some pictures of a '30-'31 Franklin with the same hubcaps and what appears to be the same character lines on the beltline and around the windows.

    landseaair - best guess so far - unless we can find Margi, Mary or Frank, it's going to have to do. Thanks
