According to Snopes, it is not any one type but a composite of many types of cars. It was minted in 1928, and a few years later people spread the rumor that it car’s occupants were Bonnie and Clyde, but they didn’t even meet until two years after the minting.

More interesting than what kind of car it is is the street scene itself. DC was a small town then.

When I was younger, I used to be able to read the names of the states on the Lincoln Memorial shown on the back of the 5 dollar bill (front side of the building anyway)......Top...Arkansas, Michigan, Florida,Texas, Iowa, Wisconsin, California (and this is just half of the top row......) I think all the 48 states are on the periphery of the building...
