Anyone know what kind of plane this is?

Smooth round cowl like a Westland Lysander, but all the rest like a
Stinson Reliant. But the SR-7, SR-9 & SR-10 all had close cowls with bump
fairings for the valve covers. Some other Stinson??

Stinson came to mind for me, too.

How about this picture?

Stinson V77 perhaps. Some differences, like the picture I noted has a one
multi piece windshield, and the OP's picture is one piece. My pic has a
small third row window, but that could have been a change at some earlier
restoration. The hole in the main gear fillet is consistent with the lift
strut, the ladder looks the same, the body shape looks the same, and the
cowl looks the same, except for a missing fairing over the exhaust stack.

It would have been helpful to see the tail feathers and wing and wheel pants
and.... but lacking any other pictures, I think a case could be made for a
Stinson or a Stinson variant of the above. I would be happy to be shown
wrong, though.

Ken Dye's 1944 Stinson V77 has the right cowl, no doubt. I think there
was an SR-10 variant with this cowl and the right windshield, come to
think of it.
