1928 something....,

Howdy,

I have just been given what is likely my grandfather's first car. Bought new by his uncle, it was driven into a garage in 1948, and stored in a couple of dry garages ever since. No broken glass, no cancer. The paint is broken around almost all intersections, and has surface rust. The upholstery, having housed a family of cats for a few years is a total loss. The real question is..., what is it? I don't have access to the car, as it is in Missouri. Before I came back home, I looked at the patent plate, assuming that it held all the answers. It shows manufacture(?)date of 7-23-28. serial #164775, Kansas City, MO. I have a 1930 owners manual that has a hand written note indicating 526 - but the manual is for an eight, the car is a six. So..., what is it? And as I undertake this project., well, where do I start?

Humbly,

Ray,
