Cool car!!  What is it?  *It's a 1930 Ford Roadster!* (see below)
 Lena Thielen Schlader and one of her nephews, I'm pretty positive. Most likely her brother Matt's boys or her brother Pete's boys. I will post if I find out.
Brothers?












Intense Guy said- My car buddy thinks this car is an "around 1930 Ford Model 'A' Roadster".

He notes that the distinctive parts are the "arched" headlamp mounting (most other car models are straight across) and the "fake" crank starter hole and the bottom of the radiator grill. Also distinctive is the outside/exposed chrome brace used to hold the "convertible top". The car probably had a rumble seat.

He says Ford used the "wire mesh" look radiator screen in the late 20's and early 30's. He also said that there was likely a rumble seat and on the top picture, you can see the handle to lift up the rumble seat.
