I think you are correct.
The first and middle B are not that clear (to me)
And Baileborough is a place in Cavan so now I can dig deeper.
Thank you

Having great trouble reading this place my ancestor was born.
I know it is certainly Cavan, Ireland but the top line ending ough is boggling!

Looks like the 1926 Ford Tudor Sedan:

Or, 1925. Here is a 1925 one with the same bumper:

Thank you Jamjar-very interesting. The iconic Ford Model T. Looks like there are still quite a few of these antiques in existence in USA. Never seen one here in England.

I don't think the middle car is the same - the edge/angle along the bonnet is different, and it doesn't have the sidelight by the corner of the windscreen.

I'm not sure about the back one either. It might have a similar sidelight, but the overall shape of the bonnet seems a bit more rounded. However, it's very hard to be certain when there's so little of it to be seen.
Thank you-yes I think you are correct unless they are different versions of the same model?

I posted on another board and have already got some great genealogy help. Hoping to get help here with identifying the cars. Possibly a Buick Sedan? These are my great uncles Frank and George Justice in Detroit October 1926
Here is one suggestion I had
From looking at American cars in general of that date, it seemed to me that the shape of the trim round the top of the radiator here was quite distinctive. The closest match I could spot was a Buick Sedan of about 1925-26, but I'm not certain of this. Here are a couple that I've found - see what you think:
