Post by: sixtee5cuda on September 25, 2012, 08:11:00 PM: This car is not a Packard. I don't believe Rubay was involved. The Leon Rubay Co. did not build the body of this car.

(Thank you for mentioning Rubay. I had not read about them before.)

Post by: Craig Gillingham on September 26, 2012, 09:45:42 AM: The only other thing it can be is a 1922 model A Duesenberg, except the car appears to missing its brakes. If it's a type A, it should have large front drums which aren't there. Unless this is just a publicity shot, and not a running car. Is the coachwork by Millspaugh & Irish?

This car is a 1922 Duesenberg Model A. When I posted "nice wheels", I was referring to the fact the car doesn't have any brakes. Good catch, Craig. The car is a "roller", put together at the last minute for a car show.

Coachbuilder is not Millspaugh & Irish.

Post by: Craig Gillingham on September 27, 2012, 09:50:56 AM: Thanks for the point, but I didn't actually completely solve the puzzle. My next guess would have been Murphy, then Brunn.
