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.

John, if this looks like a fit simply search on the registration.

That's a Stinson V-77, according to the FAA.

Here's a Stinson Reliant with the strut in the right location,
but bad cowl and windshields:

http://sabc.org.au/bfs/old%20site/News/Stinson.JPG

Here's a Stinson Reliant with the right kind of front windshield,
but it's strut seems more forward and the side windows still
do not match:

A Stinson Reliant rudder:

But other Reliants don't have the rudder come up over the top of the
vertical stab like the picture above:

http://www.airnieuws.nl/nederlandsre...468/N1943S.jpg

Stinson SR-9: good fit on windows, strut, door, and rudder:

Same plane, good match for strut location:

http://data3.primeportal.net/hangar/...t_12_of_13.jpg

That picture also shows some gizmos under the fuselage (pitot tubes?). The
Honey Bunny seems to have gizmos in about the same location.

The step on the Honey Bunny certainly looks 100% Stinson!

This Stinson seems to have the right kind of side-windows:

Oh, DOH!

Looks like the Honey Bunny is a 1937 Stinson SR-9:

Type: Vintage
Year: 1937
Make: Stinson
Model: SR-9
Aircraft Location: , Florida, USA
Price: $62,000 - US Dollars

His plane:

The cowl is definitely close.

It's clear that there is a lot of variation with
windscreens and cowls. Here's an SR-9:

Yup. I'd say that is pretty definitive.

We lucked out--the picture and information were left up
even though the plane is (apparently) no longer for
sale.

The Stinson radial owners list shows a number of variations
for the SR-9:

SR-9
SR-9B
SR-9C
SR-9E
SR-9E M
SR-9F
SR-9FM
