1937-38 Willys, rare then and much less common today.

Gee back when Americans knew how to dress.

My uncle says this is a 32 Pontiac Roadster, but googling that doesn't show a car this small. It looks to be a convertible.

Looks like a Model A to me.

don't think it's a 32 Pontiac...I don't see landau bars for the top.
Why do people always stand in the EXACT place I need to look at to identify a car?

Fintail is right, it does look like a Model A but then so did everything in the early 30s
Your uncle is probably right, popular-price roadsters and coupes back then weren't all that large.

I'm gonna guess 1932 Ford Model A. I googled some pics, and the Chevy had landau bars, just like the Pontiac. The Plymouth didn't have landau bars, but the back window had a bit more forward rake to it. The Model A rear window was totally upright, though.

I am pretty sure it is a Model A. They are pretty small in 2-door form, looks just like that car. I don't know how to distinguish the year of an open car from that angle, but it is 1928-31.
