A 1921 Buick 45.

Wooden bumper was an option?

Be careful Bill.

I posted a couple of pics of wrecked cars a while back & was hugely berated for being insensitive.

Seems that if there was any possibility that an injury "may" have occurred, you will become a prime target as an "attention whore" if my memory serves me correctly.

 Some folks can't deal with reality. They'll get over it sooner or later. Or not. Their problem if it's the latter.

Wooden bumper was an option? 

That there wooden bumper was known as the "Wheelman Model". It was offered as an OEM spare in the event you left the steel one in somebody's fence.

That second plate might be from Delaware. I found this site pretty informative. If that car was used for some "business", those were some pretty stupid mugs. You're supposed to replace the original set of plates, not hang the new ones over them.

The first picture posted here is the the image section for 1921 Oakland.

Thanks Howard, you made me laugh

So....... what were we supposed to figure out by looking at the details?

Is there an "answer" related to this photo?

Just an attempt to get people thinking / talking.

I thought it unusual seeing two bottle jacks at the front of the vehicle, which I don't believe is a Buick as the cowl is too flat.

The chained, broken wheel / tire has me wondering if came from the rear of the vehicle.

Seeing a bunch of guys standing around doing nothing is pondering as well.

I liked the color quality of the old photo, never thought the image might not be original color.

Me, I'm just thankful we don't have to drive around in open cars any more. I drove an MGA for many years with a great heater , I know what cold is.

Just my thoughts and ramblings, no right or wrong answer, funny how the attempts at humor abound. Sorry if you expected more.

I just figured that since the title of the topic was "Can you figure this out? Look at the details" that there was some sort of "answer" we were supposed to be able to come up with by studying the photo.

It's a Buick.The cowl is the same shape as the one in the photo I posted. Same windshield frame, same shape for the area behind the cowl, same radiator, same headlight tubs, same top with the same overhang and frame, same running boards, same everything. Except for the wooden bumper, it's the same model. A Buick. You have to take the perspective of the photographer who took the original photo into consideration  The angle from where he took it can distort the image.
