What I require here is quite a lot of information for a point.
Make, model, year and who is the person in the driving seat.
Also who owned the car at this time.

It is a Voisin C7 (10 CV), ca.1928.
It belonged to the famous artist Man Ray. The lady on the driver's seat is Kiki de Montparnasse, Man Ray’s lover during the 1920’s. Her back is well known from Man Ray’s famous work ‘Le Violon d’Ingres’, 1924, (Getty Museum).
