It certainly looks like a Ryan Brougham B-7 (odd looking engine cowling to me though) so NC723M should be OK Stig

Nice! (Thanks) Still looks odd to me. A Ryan should have an open engine (without cowling) and a nice spinner. Now it looks like something which has run into a brickwall... :-)) Stig

Stig Jarlevik Ha....it does look like it ran into a wall
