Cool ID this car part 2

Hi Guys,


I posted this over on the Model T side of the Ford Barn a couple weeks ago but only got one response. I'm still in the middle of the first page over there, so I guess things move a lot slower on the Model T side. Anyway, I thought I would ask you guys on the V8 side for your thoughts. The response I got was suggesting 1920 or 1921 Buick.


My Model T Forum post:

I'm normally on the V8 side on the Ford Barn but am posting here because I want some help to ID the make and model of the car in this photo from the era you are more familiar with. I don't think this is a Ford but maybe you can help anyway. This picture was taken in 1925 and is my grandfather holding my father. The emblem on the radiator is a little hard to make out but I think it is a Buick emblem. Enclosed is a photo of a 1923 Buick Coupe that looks similar. The headlights look a little different. The ones in my photo seem to have a rounded back where the Buick ones are like a cylinder. What do you guys think?

It could be a different year Buick and that's why it has different headlights.

Doesn't even look close. You might ask the boys on the HAMB.

I agree with 1920-21 Buick Model K-46 Coupe. These earlier cars had the more streamlined headlights than the "boxy" ones used starting in 1922.

I'd say a 20 Buick.
