Can anyone identify this old car? Is it an old LaSalle?

No idea what it is. I've never seen a hood ornament like that.. beautiful and distinctive!

Very cool car for its time.

the hood ornament is simular to the 33 Rolls one, but dosen't have the "wings"..

Looking like a Caddy/La Salle

It's a Studebaker Lemming


Neat picture, by the way.

yeah, same pose and everything like the rolls, except the wings are missing ...
maybe someone broke off the wings?

I did not use the lady for that thought, just the base.

Good sites....But still no match. The hood ornament/rad cap looks like a member of a naked swim team about to start a race. I thought the huge solid wheels may also help identify it. I'm thinking late 20s / early thirtys large car.

Aside from the car. My dad is the one in the center in the picture below...notice the guy on the left holding his head in the first picture?
This is why.....Bad hair day!

I think I have solved it. I think the hood ornament is not stock, and the car is an early 20s Lincoln.

I think you are right!

I think.

So the hood ornament is an early example of da Bling Bling????
