I don't think so
The body lines, shape, headlight grill shell and firewall rolled grooves appear to be willys whippet
the dash and guages are 100% willys whippet
The fenders look like the whippets but maybe a little more like 1927/28 chevy

The engine... that's the freak at the party
dizzy in front on side of block
thermostat at rear of head
updraft carb
carb exhaust generator dizzy all on the same side of the engine

The Whippets were 4 cyl cars. this is not a 4 cyl changed to 6. it was designed to hold a six.
The Gardiner model 80 looks a little similar but again dash and other things are wrong.
I can find features on other cars that match but every example has other features that don't match
 
body shape and lines closest to willys whippet
dash and guages 100% willys
 
found an example. 1927 willys-overland whippet sedan they had a 6 and it's the same mill.


cool
