Hard to see the bonnet hinge arrangements in either of these photos, but I assume it's centrally-hinged. I've also just noticed the small opening vents ahead of the screen, set into the top of the scuttle.

I don't think there was an official version, but Riley always claimed to be able to build what the customer wanted, so there may well have been one or more 'hybrids', especially if there was an old body or two lying around the Works!

Edit:just seen Peter's suggestion - Yep, I think so.

Excellent stuff, these photos have been nagging away at me for a while. I already have a few photos of this family with a Monaco on the site (and a few more to add), but this other car was proving trickier to pin down.

Thanks

The bonnet louvres on the Dodge appear to be closer to the radiator.

Both Jewett and Paige have elements but also significant differences.
Graham Paige has elements too such as the front chassis cross member but the wrong radiator.

On FB I received the following suggestion just now ...

1925 - 1926 Cadillac (Series 314) 5-Passenger Town Sedan
(14 hood louvers, hubcaps, radiator)

Looks a good match. I hadn't realised that the mystery car had a widow's peak in the radiator shell.
