Hi T,

Would be interesting to see the expression on the guy's face in the building .... one can see him through the car's passenger side door window.

No doubt he was not at all interested in the Lincoln or the stacked tires.

The guy with the pocket watch does not appear to be pointing at the wrapped tires either.

A couple of posts refer to this car as a Lincoln. I admit that the hubcap logo bears a good resemblance to a Lincoln hubcap; and the radiator cap does bear a resemblance to the famous Lincoln 'Greyhound'. But both are a bit under-defined for a 'for certain' declaration. The hood just doesn't 'look right' to me - to be a Lincoln.

Can some of you '28 - 29 Lincoln aficionados help give some stronger assurances (outside of the hubcap and greyhound) - specific points that are exclusively Lincoln - that definitely define this car as a Lincoln ? Can you tell the year ?

DougVieyra,

Did you look at all the photos in the group? The last pic shows the front of the car sticking out of the warehouse drive in door. It sure looks like a
1930-31 Lincoln to me. Possibly a Judkins body with that particular style of windshield some had. One of the give aways of it being maybe a '31 Lincoln is the new front bumper style. I can't remember if Lincoln changed
the bumpers in '30 or '31. It always amazes me how the Lincolns of the Model-A era look so like A's on steroids.
