This I'm going to make a 2-point puzzle.

One point for the make and year of the car
One point for the name and title of the man about to board the car (not the man in uniform)

It is a Protos. The year I would guess at around 1918.

Protos is of course correct but not 1918.
I'll lock it it for you to come up with the correct year.
Meanwhile the other point is still open to others.

My next best guess is 1913.

Is the man we are looking for a German politician?

Not related to the automotive industry, not from USA but a politically involved person, not Brazilian but you are relatively on the right track.......

No, not him - you'll have to cross the Pacific to find the country this man came from
