A mystery on the "Vabaduse väljak"
The photograph shown was taken in 1937 on the "Vabaduse väljak" (Freedom Square) in Tallinn, Estonia. Two schoolboys pose with we assume their mum with these wonderful pre-war cars for a memorable photo. The car on the right-hand side we think is a Studebaker Land Cruiser. The Studebaker has a badge and a flag of the Estonian Automobile Club. But what year is it?
The car with registration number 37 A-521 in the centre, is that a Pontiac? And can anyone identify the cabriolet on the left-hand side? Please comment below and tell us everything you know about the cars!
Words by the editor. Photograph sent in by Rain Vaikla from Tallinn, Estonia.

The middle car is a 1929 Pontiac. Front bumper with centre badges, hood louvers appear to be vertical cowl lights, Indian head hood ornament.

I cannot be certain, but the mascot on the radiator of the left-most car looks like the lion of a Gräf & Stift. And the radiator looks correct for one as well.

The car on the left with it's curved edge to the grill shell looks like a Lincoln, possibly a model K. I've never seen a Stutz that had that.

I think the car on the left is a Minerva Type AL.

I do not think that the middle car is a Pontiac. From the position of the scuttle lights, horizontal lines of the bonnet vents and the radiator cowling I suspect the car to be a 1929/30 Stoewer S10 Superior made down the road in Stettin, Pomerania D.R.P. now Poland. It could also possibly be a Stoewer G15 which had a bigger 8-cylinder engine but the scale of the car is smaller than the G15 tourers. Typically, the G15 cars also had their spare wheels mounted on the runner boards.

Despite some similarities the car in the middle is not a Stoewer S10 or G15, in my opinion. With these 8-cylinder cars the upper part of the radiator shell was "wing-shaped", the badge looked differently and the rod carrying the front lights was completely horizontal. Furthermore, the louvres were larger and there were fewer of them (7 instead of 12). Finally, the body looks very American to me.

37 A-521 Could be a 1930 Marquette or an Oakland V8. The only problem are the horizontal bonnet louvers, which are similar to a Marmon Roosevelt. The car on the left is a Stutz. Judging by the headlights, I'd say it's a 1933 DV32 Cabriolet. One of the last models made by the company.

The Studebaker is a 1935 model and appears to be a Dictator Sedan rather than a Land Cruiser because it looks like it has a one piece back window. The Land Cruiser had a three piece back window.

In keeping with the American theme of the other two cars, could the car on the left be a 1932c Stutz ? The centre one is certainly a Pontiac, 1929, with the horizontal bonnet louvers . The Pontiac was unusual in that it had a two piece cylinder head, each piece covering 3 cylinders. The Studebaker would be of c1935 vintage with either 6 or 8 cylinder engine.
