My first thought was a 1938 Plymouth business coupe but they had forward -opening doors and this had suicide doors and a split screen. Got a very fuzzy shot to the logo ( iPhone stuff but cannot resolve it......appreciate any info.

Possible though they were Canadian cars and this was on a back road in Arizona. Only grillle design I could find looks like a Plymouth but it is not identical......

The devils in the details, the emblem on the spare wheel.

Definitely an Oldsmobile 1935 Coupe.

Some other examples here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Oldsmobile_Seri...

Some minor differences like the bumper guards and the spare wheel, but front-opening doors, the grille, etc, all match.
