Yes, lovely photo. Intrigued to know what the rad. cap embellishment is. The n/s bonnet catch is undone and the n/s front wing has taken a knock pushing it inwards.
I would say the headwear is more Fedora than Cowboy. The top dimple in a Cowboy points downwards at the front, this doesn't.

If located in America in the late 20's or 30's prohibition was in force so it's possibly a bootleggers buggy.

Chris, the rad cap embellishment looks, to me, like temperature gauge ??

If the guy was less sombre could use a caption I have used in local Jowett magazine.."She said, "Either the car goes or I do""

Jeff,
CF 8089 was issued Jan '28, so with CF 8866 being issued in Jan '29 this would average out at around 65 vehicles per month. The model changed in September '28 to nickel rad, forward headlight, etc. so it was probably registered around Spring '28.
