What appears to be a steam engine's chimney is a vertical coolant tank for the gasoline engine.

My Czech language book says this is a "Prvni zavodni" which translates as First racer from the year 1900

This car was built for Baron Theodor von Liebieg within five weeks. It was constructed by Hans Ledwinka who used a ladder frame for the first time so that the seats could be positioned very low. The race car had a two-cylinder Benz engine. It finished second at the 1900 Salzburg-Linz-Wien race (compare second attached photo) driven by Liebieg and his mechanic Fritz Haban. In 1901 Liebieg married and went on honeymoon by driving a Nesselsdorfer 10 PS, but the race car was modified as an luggage carrier and accompanied the newly wed couple driven by Haban.
