Flat radiator with a tie bar coupled with bowl-shaped headlamps should narrow the search to about the 1928 to 1931 time frame. -- Last edit: 2011-02-18 17:46:04

Commander 57 ◊ 2011-02-18 19:19	I don't know. Bumpers are wrong. How about this? http://images.hemmings.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/buick.jpg (1928 Buick) It has the mild widow's peak, the bowl-shaped headlamps and the triple bar bumper. -- Last edit: 2011-02-18 19:20:23
Commander 57 ◊ 2011-02-18 19:26	Well, the more I compare '28 Buicks and '27 Chevy's the more I think it is the latter with incorrect bumpers. Leaving as is.
