The Stooges go into the garage (we wait a while) then the Limo starts to slowly come out (we're thinking it's them!)
..followed by that tiny bike (fold up?) with lots of little trailers.! (at least it was powerful enough to move three people + a dog and it didn't seem to be struggling.! :) )

I am thinking Chrysler Imperial.

Not a Chrysler, early thirties Imperials had double bumpers and a slightly leaning radiator.

This looks more GM and I think it reminds of a 1932 Buick Series 90, but shape of front fenders doesn´t seem right and the headlights seems too short.

The radiator is too indistinct to be sure. The Chryslers didn't have side lights on the guards as far as I know. It is too big to be a Buick. Out of left field I would suggest it is a maybe 1933 big Packard although the front bumper doesn't look big enough. There is a chance it is a Marmon 16 but I think the style of the rear of the body is too late for it to be a Marmon.

It could also be a "big" Nash of the early 1930's?

You are on to it carnerd. It is a 1932 Nash Ambassador 7 passenger sedan model 1094. This was the only year that Nash did the Ambassador on the big 142" wheelbase. The motor is a 322 cu.in. straight eight. Referred to by some historians as the "Kenosha Duesenbergs". Nash made a bewildering range of models in 1932 - eight different engines and 10 different wheelbases - and only sold about 20,000 cars.

Here is one similar - you can see the reason for the "Kenosha Duesenberg" tag.
