Looks American to me, 1925/1926 Dodge or Chrysler perhaps. The wooden wheels were common in the early 20's, but many changed to steel by the late 20's. The double bumper is quite distinctive, as are the headlamp size/position.

I am sure if you google a few of these era cars you will find it, otherwise someone else will chime in.

The wooden wheels reminded me of this one from Terenure.

Not 100% but the stone work on the building to the left, resembles Pearse Street Garda Station. I look at it everyday. As i said not 100%. Although a great photo

Nope ! Bumper, grille, headlight location and wheels are all sliughtly different.

I have googles several Chryslers and Dodges from 1925 to 1930 and none are exactly the same. However of course,mback then there were many various body styles so its possible, but I think we could get closer.

I think its a 1924/25 Plymouth. Radiator is wrong shape for a Chrysler. they were more rounded. the flat rad cap seems more Plymouth like.

I agree it doesn't look exactly like a Chrysler, but fromt the angle its hard to make out. the lack of a radiator mascot doesn't help either!

Could it be an Oakland? Lots of them had similar 10-spoke wooden wheels

Not sure exactly what it is, but it is 1928.

My father had an Armstrong Siddley (Reg - Z 2308) which was 1928. The car was originally owned by Urney Chocolates in Dublin and had their family crest on the doors. I don't suppose anyone knows its whereabouts now ? ?
