I'll take the chance and post this here right from the start. I believe it's pretty obscure.

Locomobile Model 48?

Possibly a Paige

Wrong country

Turcat-Mery?

@re · « **Reply #5 on:** June 19, 2008, 12:54:45 PM »

Still wrong country. Somewhat closer though, geographically - although the engine, as far as anybody seems to know, was American.

Allan L · « **Reply #6 on:** June 19, 2008, 01:12:59 PM »

Wheels look American. . .

@re · « **Reply #7 on:** June 21, 2008, 12:40:57 PM »

They may well be. The chassis is.

Circa 1923 Impéria Abadal?

@re · « **Reply #9 on:** June 22, 2008, 03:44:08 PM »

Not an Imperia.

Circa 1924 Voisin C5?

@re · « **Reply #11 on:** June 23, 2008, 09:01:48 PM »

Not if France is the wrong country...

Nacional Pescara?

Two almost look-alike, but American bodies:
1- Same wheels,, 1918 Cadillac chassis and Healy body.
2- 1921 Schutte body ad.
Any connection?

@re · « **Reply #14 on:** June 25, 2008, 07:06:16 PM »

According to my source (which is one of very few about this car) it is not known what kind of chassis the cars had, only that they were American. Which means they could have originated from Cadillac. The engines, though, were not Cadillac ones. The bodies were built in an entirely different country, and are not thought to be related to any other coachbuilders.

I don't know if any American bits were used in its manufacture, but is this car anything like, say, a 1925 Austro-Daimler 167 ADV?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #16 on:** June 27, 2008, 03:10:51 AM »

Early Holden?

jimjarron · « **Reply #17 on:** June 27, 2008, 11:04:11 AM »

On second thoughts I think it might be a circa 1920 Scania-Vabis Type III.

@re · « **Reply #18 on:** June 27, 2008, 07:39:56 PM »

Not an Austro-Daimler (or any other kind of Daimler), not a Holden, and not a Scania-Vabis. Jimjarron is on the right continent with his two latest guesses, though.

jimjarron · « **Reply #19 on:** June 28, 2008, 11:32:20 PM »

Circa 1927 NAMI 1?

@re · « **Reply #20 on:** June 29, 2008, 07:28:35 AM »

Not Russian. But geographically, still close.

jimjarron · « **Reply #21 on:** June 29, 2008, 10:52:34 AM »

Geijer?

@re · « **Reply #22 on:** June 29, 2008, 07:11:13 PM »

Now you're talking. You've managed to find the right country. But it's not a Geijer!

Strømmen "something"?

Otto Puzzell · « **Reply #24 on:** June 30, 2008, 05:22:32 AM »

Rojmo was a Norwegian car made by Johan Martin and Richard Osmundsen. Two cars were built in 1925 in Pilestredet. The vehicles were believed to have had Lycoming 6 cyl engines. The picture was taken in Nice.
