Doesn't look as if it was a success, but it might have been a Success.

Nor was my research.
We used to get a lot of c1910 highwheelers that looked so oldfashioned that the owners couldn't believe they were 20th century - and there were several dozen to choose from, so I haven't really time to work through the list.
When in doubt, guess Holsman ::)

I'll help you to cut your list drastically...it is from USA but not from 1910s or before.

Built after 1919? Even at that time this definitly was very retro  :D

After 1919 is correct.

1921 is precise.
This car was based on a VERY popular car...

Model T Ford, perhaps?

It could be Doctor Klingberg's home-built car, but the famous pilot's name would be misspelled

 :applause:
Dr. W.A. Klingberg's car, built from a Model T chassis in 1921 in Elmo, Kansas.
(wasn't Gerhard Berger famous enough?)
