The Barcelona to Bucharest Mystery (Upd. 1929 LaSalle)

• 

We sure like these kind of old family snapshots, especially when there's a story in them. But some are more intriguing than others, like this photograph. George Nica bought it in an antique shop in Bucharest, Romania. On the back of the photo is written (in Romanian): "Emil's arrival from Spain on the road to Iasi." Iasi being an important city in north-eastern part of Romania, a few kilometers away from the border to Moldavia. Just imagine what happened here. Driving from Spain to Romania in the 1930s must have been one wonderful trip through pre-war Europe just to visit friends or relatives. We think Emil is the one sitting on the spare wheel. But was he alone or was he accompanied by the lady with the goggles? We think so, as the other four are more leisurely dressed. We think it would be too much to ask if someone knows more about this trip, but perhaps you can help in identifying Emil's car (click main pic for better view)?
