Zooming in on the wheel hub I found the fuzzy suggestion that it was the DuPont, a high-end make produced from 1919 to 1931 by an arm of the chemical company (which in the '20s famously owned GM, of which the DuPont car was not part); apparently only 600 were made during those years. I was surprised to find nowhere online identification of the car in these photos featuring Dempsey, but as far as such triumphs go I am happy to say I've managed to nail down the car: It's a 1929 DuPont Model G. And perhaps Jack took delivery of it through E. A. Van Trump, Jr. Inc.:

Congratulations GWilshire for finding the make of this car...duPont.!
