Is the car a 1930 Bucciali TAV-8 Coupe?

[Otto Puzzell]

No sir.

This car is a 1919 Meisenhelder roadster.they were in business from 1919-1924.

While this car is often ID'd as a 1919 Meisenhelder, it has, correctly I believe, tagged as a 1924 example in some concourse photo reviews.

One reputable site had this to say:

Meisenhelder of York, PA – Roy M. Meisenhelder’s Sheet Metal, Auto & Body Works 315-317 South Court Avenue, York, PA – known to have built a few exotic custom bodies, one of which was mounted on his own assembled car which was called the Meisenhelder from 1919 through 1924. One beautifully restored 1924 convertible coupe was shown at 2002 Hershey which had jump seats on both running boards.

But, since I wasn't asking for the year, the point is yours.
