Packard?

[Craig Gillingham]

Rubay coachwork?

[sixtee5cuda]

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.)

I keep thinking this is a Daniels?

[sixtee5cuda]

Not a Daniels

[Craig Gillingham]

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?

Locked for Craig Gillingham to find the coachbuilder.

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.

Fleetwood?

[sixtee5cuda]

Not Fleetwood

fyreline, please be mindful of what's transpired in the puzzle discussion before attempting to solve.

[sixtee5cuda]

The complete answer is revealed, and the point goes to Craig Gillingham.

[Craig Gillingham]

Thanks for the point, but I didn't actually completely solve the puzzle. My next guess would have been Murphy, then Brunn.

My apologies - I did look for the lock, but didn't see it.  Guess I didn't look hard enough.
