I'd say late 1930's. The suicide doors will minimize the choices. If you can blow up the pic and ID the hub cap logo it will be an easy find.
I believe it's a 1934 Master Sedan with the very rear quarter window. Cool car and exceptionally cool picture of your folks.

'35 Ford DeLuxe maybe?
Wow, very cool. I've never been around old cars like that much, although I know my dad built a sandbox for us by shoveling sand into his work car. Trunk full of sand. It was an old Plymouth 4 door IIRC, like a '44 or something.

You guys are right. 1934 Chevrolet sedan. I like the wire spoke wheels. Made by Kelsey-Hayes.

Nice couple who are obviously in love.
Your Dad did good, as she is a beautiful lady.
He reminds me of Anthony Quinn.
Neat car too.

Thank you all for your help and your kind comments.
Unable to I.D. hub caps. It does not have a split screen. Door hinges are exposed. Only the rear door is a "suicide door". Trim on side of hood has three strips rather than two.
Fascinating what one can see when looking closely, as they say, a picture is worth a thousand words.
I have researched some genealogy on family. Parents both were born in AZ state. Both of my G'parents were born in Mexico. G'Ma and G'G'Ma both born in AZ territory. Their spouses born in Mexico.
To sidetrack original subject...Traced my wife's family as far back as early 1600's, but no, none on the Mayflower, however, perhaps on the next ship??? Early 1700's several members migrated to Yarmouth, Nova Scotia, Canada where their lives and their offspring were accurately recorded (births, marriages and deaths) in the local newspaper, then info transferred into a book. If any of you have not researched family history, I strongly suggest you do as it is a fascinating calling.
Once again, thanks for all the help and comments.

KIR, I believe one of the first ships to land after the Mayflower was the Speedwell (landed in 1635). An ancestor on my mother's side, John Chappell, captained the Speedwell on that voyage.
Originally, Speedwell was to accompany the Mayflower on its 1620 voyage. But Speedwell repeatedly took on water and was pronounced not seaworthy. Several of the Speedwell's passengers borded the Mayflower on that 1620 voyage.
Captain Chappell purchased Speedwell in the 1630s. He captained Speedwell on one or more voyages to the Americas - first in1635 and another possibly in 1636. He died in about 1636.
The surname Chappell was French in origin. Internet historians say Chappell was in recognition of an individual's association with a French church building. But according to my grandmother (Dannie Chappell), her grandparents said the surname Chappell was taken from the French word chapeau - hat. So, it was likely that the original Chappell was a French hatmaker. I tend to trust the relatives' version, particularly when that version is less glamourous.

"Stop the presses, the name on the photo says 34 Buick"
Well I'll be danged, too quick on the draw here, I never thought to look at Buick as the Chevy was so much more common.
Plain the see that GM certainly shared parts between brands, then just as they did in later years.
Glad ya saw that.

1934 Pontiac? Nah, wrong hood stripes.
1934 Oldsmobile? Still more different hood stripes.
