Auto on Back of $10 Note is a Composite
Numismaster ^ | January 19, 2010 | Alan Herbert

What kind of car is pictured on the back of the $10 note?

The question of the make and model of the automobile on the back of the U.S. $10 notes has been a regular one virtually ever since the notes first were printed, in 1928. A considerable amount of misinformation has found its way into reference works along with the facts, which are these: The $10 notes in the series 1928 Gold Certificates, 1928 and later Federal Reserve Notes, 1929 Federal Reserve Bank Notes, and 1933, 1934, 1934A, 1934B, 1934C, 1934D and 1953 Silver Certificates all bear the same back design.

It depicts an auto on the street near the Treasury building. The auto has over the years been incorrectly identified as a Hupmobile and several other then-current makes of cars. Both the U.S. Treasury and Krause Publications staff experts, who produce Old Cars Weekly, are in complete agreement that the car is a composite, made of parts from several different cars, and does not represent any specific make or model.

Or more similarities than differences

The roofline looks more like a Ford. Fenders are different.
