Can anyone identify the make of car?
« on: Monday 27 October 14 17:22 GMT (UK) »
This is a photo of my great uncle Norman malin, probably taken 1925-1940 in California.  Any ideas on the make of car please and a closer date?  Thanks

Possibly a 1927 Pontiac Coupe by Oakland Motor Car Co.

Kind Regards,

Ellen

The Chevy has more louvres in the side of the bonnet.
Today I broke my personal record for most consecutive days alive.

Fabulous!  Thank you all very much. A date of 1926 fits very nicely with Norman settling in California after the war and after his brother (my grandfather) married there in 1924.
