Hello everyone, this is way off topic, but this young man in the photo became a B-29 pilot and I posted some of his pics here in the past. My question, can anyone here ID this car? You guys are good, so someone here will know.

I think it is a mid-late 1920s Packard. Maybe 1925, 26 or 27. I'm not an expert by any means though.

Jesse: Definately a Packard, but not sure about it being a 25....Look at the windshield..the 25 doesn't have the crossbar. BTW.. the op's photo is from the 1935-37 timeframe based on the plate.

the grille was so distinctive that it was almost a company logo.
