Looks somewhat Buick-y to me. The guess on the year seems about right, or close. Artillery wheels would phase out soon after.
I was thinking that, ran through a bunch of '27 GM (Chevy, Olds, Pontiac, Buick) photos, still didn't find a match for that radiator and ridge running down the hood. Might have missed it, of course...
The mystery car does look like a Peerless, but it should be a boattail and have more rounded fender edges. Will try to find a piccie of a '27 GM, an Oakland Greater Six Roadster. You do save 1900 bucks buying the GM back in the Twenties{Peerless pictured: $2,995/Oakland pictured: $1,095}

Styling done by stylists came just a little bit later, through GM.
I'm still going with Peerless, or at the very least, a defunct make.
I think "styling" came around with the 1929 Buick.
But look at the grille and the bottom curve on the windshield.
