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

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

They may well be. The chassis is.

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

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?

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

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.

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

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.
