Tires
The rear tires almost look like radials, The fronts have a different tread but even those seem to wrap around a bit. Not the flat G78-15's I had on cars right up into the 80's. That's a lot of car

After years of observing Shorpy, I'm beginning to think that back in the day, new cars were only photographed in San Francisco.
Pre-Zerk Nash
The rear leaf spring front shackle grease fitting visible through the access hole in the rear door kick plate is probably a flat top Alemite, as Oscar U. Zerk wouldn't get around to patenting his eponymous fitting until January 1929.
Metal plates
What was the purpose of those plates beneath each door?
