Can anyone identify what kind of car this was? It looks big and expensive to me.

That "tractor" probably WAS worth more than a UDLX.

No, Dad always wore a fedora hat or a wool red plaid brimmed hat with ear-lappers. Loren

yep, just like on those tv shows those northerners living off the grid but they sure are clean and clean clothes and neat hair. this guy looks the same suit, nice hair and clean. humm, I don't think he had anything to do with loading that wagon. just the driver for a picture.

Really looks like a 28 Packard, except for the headlights. That's a Packard hood.

Yeah, grill logo looks like a Buick.

Looks like a Rolls Royce to me
Taking a serious look I vote for Packard by the shape of the hood and radiator cowl. Sure would like to find it in a barn.

I smell a rat. 'Tractor' is way too close-coupled to the wagon- wagon would have had a long tongue for hitching to horses. Even if the tongue were cut down, it still would need to be longer than that.
I don't see much mud ahead of the rear wheels. Those lugs would throw a lot of mud forward.
Rear wheels/hubs look just a bit too modern. Front wheels are almost as big as the rears.
Driver and front are just way too tidy.
Photoshop is relatively new, but doctored photos have been around as long as there have been cameras...

It does look like that 1927 Packard. I am currently tinkering on a Model A Ford doodlebug that sat outside for 20 years. Most of it coming apart better than I expected.
yeah.. think about how much room the transmission would take. IF that is real the Best fit would be the transmission was attached directly to the rear axle. and the heights for that don't look right either.
As for the hitch... could be right.. looks short.. often alot of the old horse drawn equipment still had the long drawbar so it would be WAY behind the "car-tractor".
as for the front wheels alot of those old/big cars had large wheels so no issues there i suspect.

I sent the post to a friend of mine who is into vintage autos. He says that it's a 1928 Buick Master Six 50 series. The steel disc wheels were a rare option (and look like Packard wheels from that era). Here's a link to a ton of photos ..... I'd say he's correct. Someone else already mentioned Buick.

I thought the driver looks a bit too spiffy.
ere is a picture of a picture of a 28 buick master series. They do look a lot like Packards of the same period, I do believe there was a law suit between the two companies over the hood and grill design. I don't know who copied who. The other picture is of my 25 McLaughlin Buick master six touring.

5th Wheel wagons could be short tongued. ~6' would work. No matter what it has caught our eyes enough to warrant app possible answers. Jim
