Terraplaniac ◊ 2010-06-29 04:29	The green car looks like a 1916 Hudson 6-40, the immediate predecessor to the Super-Six. Hudson advertising described this model as having 'Yacht Line' styling. A major clue is the flaired cowl, which was flattened for the S6. Production of the 6-40 models was halted prior to 1-1-16.

It is also at least as big as the green Hudson so can't be a Studebaker Light Six. I think it is more likely a Special Six from the same era. The picture quality is too poor for positive id.
