What is this car?

[Roger U]

After my mother passed away I found this photo in a box of old family photos she had been saving. Can someone identify this car?

Thank you in advance for any information you can provide.

THe styling is mid 1920s, and not a lot of cars had four wheel brakes then, so I'm guessing a Chrysler?

That sure matches the picture Richard. I would have to agree with you on that.

[landman]

Yes, 27 or 28.

[Roger U]

It sure does look like your photo Richard, that must be what it is. Thanks for the information Richard, Patrick, and Pat.

Nice old car...I love the old square shaped cars of the 20s/30s.

[Richard Bartrop]

Okay, I was wrong.  That fender kept bugging me, and it actually looks like it might be a 1926-28 Willys-Overland Whippet

I was also bugged by the front fender and now that you found one that matches another detail shows up as different from the Chrysler.  Namely the windshield visor.  Your Whippet photo is different in the visor and headlight details, but if you narrow it down to a 1928 everything seems to match. Briggs made the bodies for both.

Now that you mention it I remember my mother and uncle talking about a Whippet in the past. You guys are very good at knowing your cars and the differences to look for. Thanks  guys.
