Wife could use some help on a trivia question. What car is in the picture?  Wittenburg High School in Wittenburg, WI.

 

Also such a shame we don't build buildings like that any more.

1934 Chevy Sedan is my guess, but I know very little about cars from the 30’s.

Without searching for pictures, 1933 or 1934 Chevy sounds like a good guess to me.

My father owned a '33 Chevy Master Eagle phaeton... the trim / vent / whatever behind the front fender was a series of 3 vertical vents in the sides of the hood, not a horizontal chrome oblong like that car seems to have.

Also, the spare would have been front fender mounted on a '33-34, at least on most trim levels, but there were trunk mount spares too, so that's not as much of a tell as the hood vents.

The overall shape and proportions are very close to the Chevy Master sedan, though.

The fender trim sure looks horizontal. (link to BAT)

Wow, under half an hour and you have an answer to the most random of questions about cars.  America, what a country!
