This is a photo of my great great grandparents from the 1920s. Can anybody identify what kind of car this is? I have reason to believe that it was probably a higher end car.

I’d guess it is something similar to a 1924 Studebaker with rear opening front door handles. But there were many cars that copied off each other at the time, so it could be an orphan.

Front fenders with splash aprons extending toward the bumper appear to be '24 Dodge Brothers. The door handles also match a '24 DB.

Looks similar to Hudsons of that period.

I believe that is a Chrysler

Chrysler is closer than any I can find. I believe it would have had a plated radiator shell, winged cap and cowl lights though. It probably would have had a bumper. So many mid-twenties cars had cowl lights. The bullet headlights were few. That is a long hood. I'm guessing a lesser known make that doesn't pop up in photos as much.
A great puzzle.
