CONVINCED it's a Cord Beverly...

I think SM has the car but at the extreme risk of some serious egg on the face I'd plump for Emelia Earhart and Lockheed L-10E Electra.

Edit. SM beat me to it. Must learn to type quicker.

Amelia Earhart is correct.

Electra is correct.

Cord made two other models and the
Beverly was the SWB saloon. We don't
know if it was that or the Drophead or
the Phaeton but I need the model
nomenclature, i.e. name.

You're almost there!

TOO EASY!!!!!!

Danf.

Amelia Earhart = Correct

Lockheed Electra L-10 E = Correct

Model of the CORD????????
