Great, John! This is a favorite of mine, also, and is the only 1:24 in my collection. It is just about the largest in my whole room! The brass era (and earlier) U.S. cars are very rare, I think, in all scales. My most prolific are the Highway Pioneer and similar Hudson Miniatures from the 1950's and 60's; their scale was something odd, like 1:32, and they weren't consistent even with that.

Here's one from Hudson Miniatures, a 1912 Packard, that just might look familiar.

If you limited yourself to just one 1:24 model, you picked one of the best.
