Hi
His car was a 1931-33 Auburn sedan. The molding sweeping up onto the hood is the telltale. It was an Auburn styling feature through 1934. The hood ornament probably is a Cadillac or LaSalle item, folks dressed up their cars with whatever appealed to them then.
For the eight cylinder models, if it was a 1931, it would be a Model 8-98 or 8-98A Custom; 1932: a 8-100 or 8-100A Custom; 1933: 8-101 Standard, 8-101A Custom, 8-105 Salon Dual Ratio.
Twelves were: 1932: 12-160 Standard, 120-160A Custom; 1933: 12-161 Standard, 12-161A Custom Dual Ratio, 12-165 Salon Dual Ratio. This styling was held over for the 1934 1250 Salon Dual Ratio.
Do you have any details on it? Here's an improved image to see the details better.
