The disc wheel style tells me that's a mid-20s Packard Roadster, here's a similar car which is a 1927 Packard 426, a very spiffy car for the era>

I suspect this is a ~1925 Studebaker

More like the Studebaker, definitely not a Packard (note the radiator and hood on the Packard), but the radiator shell on the Studebakers I've found is more rounded on top. But '26-'28 is a good guess for age.

I had a look at some Studebaker pics and I'd have to agree. The radiator cowl and grille is more similar to a Stude than a Packard which had a very distinctive grille (my bad!). The winged radiator cap is also seen on many contemporary Studebakers.
 
1926 Studebaker:
 

 
I found only a few photos of them with disc wheels but there could be a million reasons for that. In my defense steel disc wheels like that were very common on 20s Packards.

Yeah that radiator shell was giving me problems. I was just using guess-and-check methods.
 
The Antique Automobile Club of America Identification Forum has more experts and activity, they know more than me,

Your picture didn't post. It has to a picture held on a website such as photobucket.com. On the site they have a link that you can copied and paste into your post here. After pasting it, you can select the whole link and then press the IMG button shown below to give it the proper html markings to appear as a picture. Or leave the link and folks can just click on the link to see the picture.
