I'm sure there are a lot of car enthusiasts out there that may be able to help me identify this old car.

I'm doing some family history and would like to try and find out what this car may be. The photo was taken in New Zealand if that helps.

Thanks so much.

Looks like a Buick. I think that one belonged to the hillbillys.

It bears a very close resemblance to the 1911 Buick. Model 33.

Lycoming Auto?
Could you post a link to Lycoming autos.
The only reference I can find is Lycoming engines, which I already knew about.

Lycoming made engines, not automobiles.

Definition of hillbilly for English Language Learners
: a person who lives in the country far away from cities and who is often regarded as someone who lacks education, who is stupid, etc.

I believe you have ignorantly insulted millions of people. I hope you were referring to the old TV show: The Beverly Hillbillies.

I'M leaning toward mid to late 1920 era autos possible Buick, the car in your image looks to be bigger than the 1910 era cars and the tires are smaller inside dia and fatter.
