Don't have a camera today and the phone will not do this justice, stand by for photos.
My friend Joe at JB Racing just picked up a what he thinks is a 1927 Pontiac, it is supper solid, only issue is interior has been lived in...very smelly.
I lifted the cowl and had a looked at the data tag....yes sir, MADE IN CANADA - Oshawa, was Joe very happy, he never even noticed that.
I'll get photo's of the tag and car ASAP. It's a project but it's all there, tires even holding air!!

I recall bidding on a 27 pontiac convertible at the RM auction five years ago or so, I see it advertised again now restored at a GM dealer via kijiji once in a while
is it possible its a 28 Ray? the rad and fenders looke like this?
8230 Sport sedan
Series 6-28 featured all new Fisher bodies featuring a taller and narrower radiator shell, deeply crowned fenders and a style-line ran the full length of the body. The radiator cap depicted an Indian brave instead of the previous Indian chief. The models included a 2 door; 2 passenger coupe, model number 8250; a 2 door Sport coupe with rumble seat to accommodate 4 passengers, model number 8260. The familiar 2 door, 5 passenger sedan, listed as model 8240. This continued to be the most popular Pontiac model, sharing the same body style as the original Pontiac of 1926. There were also two 4 doors models, the 8820 standard sedan, formerly known as the Landau sedan; and the 8230 Sport sedan, which replaced the Deluxe Landau Sedan of the previous 6-27 Series.
Very nice...! Now I have to start digging further!! (lol) What was the first year for steel spokes? I have here, what is to be a '27 Chevy, with wooden spokes..?
It is the 1928 model based on those photos and style chart, model 8230. I will let Joe know on Monday. I was commenting whe I saw it that it looked like a limousine with that roof line plus it has foot rests in the back seat and a hand rail on the back of the front seat. Still the oldest though

Found this a while back while treasure hunting...I think it might be a 28 Coupe? What's left of it anyway...Is there any point in trying to safe this one?
It's free...Found it in the same old yard with about 12 other treasures...2 1930 Essex 2 door coaches, a 29 Essex 4 door, 2 28 Essex 4 doors, 1930 dodge 4 door, 2 1927 Chevy sedans, 48 Merc truck, 60 Chevy Biscayne, 1927 0r so Tall T, and a 1937 Plymouth 2 door sedan...All for the taking...Got one of the 30 Essex's so far...way nicer shape than the Pontiac...
