Upon graduating from high school in Fort Smith, Ark., reader Cynthia Wolfe’s father received this very racy roadster as a gift. The year was 1926, and in the intervening 83 years since these photographs were taken, the identification of the car has been lost. Now, Cynthia hopes to identify the car for the sake of posterity. According to Cynthia, her family was very much into Packard automobiles, but the roadster appears a bit small for that make, and the car lacks the traditional Packard grille features and the hexagons on the wheel hubs. However, this roadster has its own notable features that might make it easy for someone to pinpoint its origins: the disk wheels, the three-bar bumpers, the drum headlamps (with accessory visors), the relatively flat and wide radiator shell and the low, rakish rear deck. Can you help Cynthia identify her father’s roadster?

Mystry Photo 09-23-09 looks like a 1927 Willys Knight roadster. At least the hood, radiator and bumpers are a dead match for my fathers first car, a 27 Willys Knight

I would suggest a 1924 Jewett Six De Luxe Roadster.
