Don't let that DeDion rear end fool you - this is a racing special based on a mundane road car, the maker of which is still in the business of selling mundane road cars - plus a "crossover".

Looking at that exhaust manifold, it seems to have 8 exhaust ports, but four carbs on the same side. Is it actually a four-cylinder with a three-valve layout? If so not many mundane road cars of the (apparant) period (1930s) had that.

Not a 4-cylinder engine.

It's a 1922 Buick Speedcar, I'm not sure who built it, there is a website with a few details and some photos at http://tomlaferriere.com/1922BuickSpeedster.htm
