Found an old photo in a museum - could be a 26/27 Ford ?

On the last day of a short vacation week I made a tour to a museum nearby where they collected some old buildings of our region called Westerwald (= Western Wood) here in Germany.
The historic photo below was displayed - I believe it could be a 26 or 27 Ford.
If so it should have been assembled in Berlin / Germany where they started the German branch of Ford in 1925 (I think so at least).
The Ford plant at Köln (Cologne) was built and opened in the early 30s and built german Models called Eifel or Taunus (which are regions of lines of hills in Germany).

As my T does not have a radiator currently (and I would not like to put the burden on it to climb all the hills at all) I took my 21st century car, an electric drive smart convertible - all black of course.

It's not a very clear picture, but I think I see front brake drums. That would mean non-Ford.

I believe we are seeing a '26-27 Tudor with wire wheels. The dropped center portion of the wire wheels makes it appear as though they are brake drums.

There is no doubt in my mind. It is a '26 or '27 Ford.
Nice photo too.

It must be early 1926. No headlight bar.
