The only distinctive feature I can pick on this car is what appears to be a small medallion or badge below the golfbag door. It probably is where the grease nipple for the rear spring is. The car is probably 1930 as very few cars had wire wheels with the large hubcaps before then. I think it is one of the less common makes.

Another angle not from the documentary but from this website: http://www.doctormacro1.info/Movie%20Star%20Pages/Keaton,%20Buster-Annex2.htm Click this for maximum resolution: Link to "www.doctormacro1.info" Perhaps one of Buster's own vehicles? -- Last edit: 2009-04-19 02:28:23
