Just to add to James reply, It appears to be a 1929 Murray town sedan. notice the arched upper door reveals.

Its a Murray Fordor. I have people tell me all the time that my '29 Briggs Fordor is a 30-31 because of the cowl style. Its amazing how many absolutely won't accept my explanation and insist that its a 30-31. One guy stopped me while I was in a parade and insisted I had the year listed wrong on the parade placard, got disgusted about it too.

Well thats what i thought when I looked at the cowl section, the lower part looks like 30,31, but the rest of the cowl didn't look like my 30, not being an expert I didn't want to question it with out checking here first. Thank you all for the info.
