Looks like a 1931 Deluxe Tudor with a few miles on it. Door handle looks broken. Good family portrait, even the dog is cooperating!

If those are orange trees, that would place the photo in Florida or California.

Did a really good job of staging it all to look old,then forgot to take off his modern wristwatch.

Lot of little strangeness in the picture; wonder if some AI was involved.

The kids bicycle looks relatively modern although there's nothing to really say this photo was from the 30s!!!

Lots of these knds of pictures around.Fun to look at,and fun for the people that make them.I can't make my mind about the bike,the frame looks like an old one,but not the bars.Mom does not have an old look to her either.Quality of the picture is too good too.Still a great picture.An old fellow here used to love setting up situations like that and take pictures.He had a business doing it,but what he did the most of was setting up old west scenes.Cowboys,saloon girls,sherriffs,etc.He made them into Christmas cards and invitation types of things.He said men may have liked dressing up like a cowboy with the guns,but the women absolutely loved getting their picture taken in those dance hall outfits.

There's a no more beautiful sound than a Hound Dog treeing a Racoon/Squirrel
Well, maybe the Model A Horn??

He must have seen the Paul Shinn video where he recommended the Tudor if you had small kids.

Agree with Fullrace.... The handlebar grips look to be from the sixties.
