johnfromstaffs ◊ 2022-08-23 20:31	It seems more likely that this is a Twelve. Reasoning: the car has front wheel brakes, which were adopted on the Twenty in 1925, but by this time the 20hp engine had six cylinders rather than 4. There is no “Six” badge on the grille, suggesting 4 cylinders, suggesting a Twelve or Twelve-Four.
